PURPOSE: To evaluate distance, intermediate, and near vision after aspheric multifocal diffractive AcrySof® ReSTOR® SN6AD1 intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS: 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. RESULTS: Three months postoperatively, the mean acuities (logMAR) were: UCDV, 0,05 ± 0,07; CDVA, 0,00 ± 0,01; DCNVA, 0,00 ± 0,0, and AVIC, 0,15 ± 0,05. The CDVA and DCNVA were 20/25 or better in all patients, with DCIVA of J3 or better in 83% of the patients. Patients reported good performance for distance, intermediate, and near visual tasks with no or minimal difficulty with specific tasks. No patient reported severe visual phenomena; halos and glare were rated as none to moderate. CONCLUSION: The aspheric IOL AcrySof® ReSTOR® SN6AD1 provide good functional vision at far, intermediate, and near distance, and a low incidence of visual disturbances.
