Purpose
To report visual outcome data and patient-reported
measures on 52 patients unilaterally implanted with an
aspheric apodized diffractive lens
Many presbyopic patients require only one lens implantation
for cataract correction1
No documented studies show whether unilateral patients
might avoid some halo or glare experienced by some bilateral patients
will benefit from a ReSTOR multifocal intraocular lens (IOL),
though results from other multifocal IOLs are supportive2-3

Methods:
Patient Enrollment
During a six-month window, enrolled 67 patients under age 71 without
ocular comorbidities and with 1 D astigmatism
any eligible patient with 1
previous ReSTOR IOL Implant each bilateral multifocal
was recruited: yield n = 15 1 ReSTOR group

Stereopsis
similar between the two unilateral subgroups
significantly different,
bilateral group (60 30 seconds of arc, test score 7.9 1.6) versus
unilateral supergroup (100 80 seconds of arc, test score 5.9 2.0).
*P < 0.05, multifocal/phakic versus multifocal/monofocal

Results:
Patient Survey of Everyday Tasks
Difficulty of far-distance tasks without spectacles:
no significant differences among any groups
Halo/glare scale: 1 (not bothersome), 2 (mildly bothersome), 3 (moderately bothersome), 4 (severely bothersome)
Results:
Patient Satisfaction
A majority of all patients achieved spectacle independence
(60% unilateral, 77% bilateral, no statistical difference)
Almost all patients (>91% in any group) would choose
to have the procedure again
Average rating of satisfaction with vision was higher
in the bilateral group than in the unilateral group
