Medical Forum / General / Vision / June 2006Restor IOL and sunglasses
I've had one eye implanted with a Restore IOL and second eye will be done next week. Looking ahead I'm wondering if one color of sunglasses might be better suited for this application than another. Or, is it strictly a personal preference? Thanks.... >I've had one eye implanted with a Restore IOL and second eye will be done >next week. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Thanks.... Polarized brown twenty-five to one in my shop- try a polarized gray just to be sure. Add an anti-reflection coating for increased comfort when worn frequently and/or for prolonged periods.

Yes, all the prescription sunglasses I've had in past were polarized and the latest couple have/had AR coating. I've just never tried the amber color. I've used dark blue and gray. Thanks for the info. >>>I've had one eye implanted with a Restore IOL and second eye will be done >>>next week. [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >You say 25 to 1 in your shop.

The brown color offers more protection from light (blue end of the spectrum) that may be a contributor towards increased risk of macular degeneration. >Thanks for the info. Your welcome.
