Visual Performance After RESTOR Implantation

Visual Performance After Implantation of an Aspheric Multifocal Diffractive Intraocular Lens

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the distance, intermediate, and near vision after aspheric multifocal diffractive AcrySof® ReSTOR SN6AD1 intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

To evaluate distance, intermediate, and near vision after aspheric multifocal diffractive AcrySof® ReSTOR SN6AD1 intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Prospective study of 50 patients with cataract that had phacoemulsification and AcrySof® ReSTOR IOL implantation. Uncorrected distance vision acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA), and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) were measured postoperatively. A patient-satisfaction and visual phenomena questionnaire was administered at the end of the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Cataract
• Any race
• Either gender
• Diagnosis of cataracts both eyes
• Pre-existing physical conditions that could skew visual results, such as Diabetes, Retinal detachment, Macular degeneration, or Cancer
• Subjects must have < 1.00 diopter of astigmatism
• Biometry results for the Restore patients should target emmetropia or +0.25.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Central endothelial cell count less than 2000 cells/mm2 glaucoma or intraocular pressure greater than 21 mmHg amblyopia
• Retinal abnormalities
