I implanted the latest Restor in my left eye 3 weeks ago. I have a Crystalens HD in my right eye (7 weeks ago).
The new Restor extends the near vision a little further out (compared to the previous model), but it is still not as good as the CL HD from 2 ft to 6 ft. My near vision with the Restor is good from 1 ft to 2 ft (whereas minimal near with the CL HD in this range). In binocular vision, I read the computer screen without glasses, even small tyupe size. In bright light (office), I can read 11 pt type WORD documents with no glasses. A nurse at my Dr's practice has two older Restors and she loves them. She can read the finest print with no glasses.
The new Restor is tinted slightly yellow.(UV protection) and the CL HD is clear. This difference is noticeable in monocular but not in binocular.
I hope this helps.
