Abstract: We compared the AcrySof® monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) in mini-monovision (MMV) (n = 20) with the ReSTOR® multifocal IOL (n = 20) for glasses independence after cataract surgery. The ReSTOR IOL showed a significantly higher proportion of postoperative independence from glasses. The MMV formula monofocal AcrySof recipients with the same pre-op selection criteria as the ReSTOR achieved 20/30 and J3 without glasses post cataract surgery. AcrySof IOL can be a good alternative for those patients who cannot afford ReSTOR IOL and yet desire some degree of independence from glasses.

Keywords: cataract, cataract surgery, intraocular lens, AcrySof IOL, ReSTOR IOL, minimonovision, glasses independence
