FDA's MAUDE database holds 150 reports that name the brand "Acrysof Restor Iol" (lens multifocal intraocular), received between February 2015 and May 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Alcon Research - Huntington. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

4 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, with none in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are injury (80.7%) and malfunction (19.3%); across all lens, multifocal intraocular reports (product code MFK) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 16.6%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are insufficient device problem information (22.7%), device operates differently than expected (14.7%) and material opacification (5.3%). The patient problems coded most often are visual impairment, halo and blurred vision. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
