Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect that placement and power of the AcrySof Toric has on post-operative visual acuity and spectacle independence for distance vision. This will be determined by comparing manifest refraction pre-operatively and post-operatively and by evaluating the rotational stability of the lens over time.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Visual Acuity (VA) [Pre-operative, 1 month, 3 month, and 6 month post-operative]

    Pre-operative and 1 month, 3 month, and 6 month post-operative visual acuity (VA) measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution". It is a unit of measure for visual acuity (VA).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Spectacle Independence [6 months post-operative]

    Percentage of subjects reporting that they never wear glasses at the 6 month post-operative visit

  2. IOL Rotation [6 months post-operative]

    Evaluation of percentage of patients that experienced rotation of the intraocular lens (IOL) less than or equal to 5 degrees from initial implantation, and less than or equal to 10 degrees from initial implantation.
