Visual Function After Implantation of Bilateral AcrySof® Toric Natural Intraocular Lens

January 12, 2012 updated by: Alcon Research
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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Acuity (VA)
Time Frame: 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).
Pre-operative, 1 month, 3 month, and 6 month post-operative

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Spectacle Independence
Time Frame: 6 months post-operative
Percentage of subjects reporting that they never wear glasses at the 6 month post-operative visit
6 months post-operative
IOL Rotation
Time Frame: 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.
6 months post-operative
