Clinical Evaluation of a New Aspheric Intraocular Lens.

Clinical Evaluation of a New Aspheric Intraocular Lens. A Prospective, Multi-Center, Comparative Study.

This study evaluates the visual performance and occurrence of posterior capsular opacification after implantation of a new aspherical intraocular lens compared with a control spherical lens of otherwise identical design.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients must have a clinically documented diagnosis of bilateral cataract (either cortical, nuclear, subcapsular or a combination) liable to benefit from standard cataract surgery.
• Patients must be undergoing primary cataract surgery with IOL in-the-bag implantation, requiring a IOL power from 10 to 30 diopters.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with corneal damage.
• Patients with any anterior segment pathology for which extracapsular phacoemulsification cataract surgery would be contraindicated.
• Patients with any ocular pathology, other than the cataract, having repercussions on visual function:
