A Comparison of Corneal Aberrations in Subjects With Contralateral AcrySof IQ Toric Intraocular Lens (IOL) and AcrySof IQ IOL With Limbal Relaxing Incision (LRI)

A Prospective Contralateral Comparison of Corneal Aberrations in Subjects Undergoing Aspheric Lens Implantation With Concomitant LRI and Aspheric Toric IOL Implantation

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare postoperative corneal aberrations and visual parameters in patients contralaterally implanted with an AcrySof IQ Toric intraocular lens (IOL) and AcrySof IQ Aspheric IOL with concomitant limbal relaxing incision.

Inclusion Criteria:

Ocular criteria must be met in both eyes.

• Willing and able to understand and sign an informed consent;
• Willing and able to attend postoperative examinations per protocol schedule;

• Free of disease(s)/condition(s) listed in the "Caution" section of the AcrySof IQ and AcrySof IQ Toric package inserts;
• Have regular, bowtie shaped corneal astigmatism and qualify for an SN6AT3, SN6AT4 or SN6AT5 Intraocular Lens (IOL) in both eyes;
• Have the second surgery at least one week following the first eye implant but not later than one month after the first implant.
• Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Previous corneal surgery;
• Planned multiple procedures during cataract/IOL implantation surgery;
• Ocular disease and/or condition that may compromise study results;
• Pregnant or planning pregnancy during course of study;
• Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.
