Eighty-seven (87) subjects were enrolled in the study from normal cataract populations at the involved sites. All subjects required bilateral cataract extraction by phacoemulsification. All study subjects had to meet the following inclusion criteria: minimum 18 years of age, both male and female, bilateral clinically significant cataracts for which phacoemulsification extraction and posterior chamber IOL implantation have been planned, BCDVA projected to be better than 20/40 (0.5 decimal) following cataract removal and IOL implantation, clear intraocular media other than cataract and signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria consisted of: the need for an IOL outside the commercially available spherical power range, presence of any pupil abnormalities (non-reactive, fixed pupils, or abnormally shaped pupils), previous corneal or intraocular surgery, present corneal or intraocular pathology including pseudo-exfoliation, inability to achieve keratometric stability for contact lens wearers, anticipated intraoperative complications which may lead to IOL decentration, use of systemic or ocular medications, acute, chronic, or uncontrolled systemic disease or illness which at the surgeon’s discretion would increase the operative risk or confound the outcome of the study, pregnancy, breastfeeding or another condition associated with the fluctuation of hormones that could lead to refractive changes, concurrent participation, or participation during 30 days prior to the preoperative visit in any other clinical trial.
