The ReSTOR IOL provided better near vision and the ReZoom IOL better intermediate vision. Both multifocal IOLs gave excellent distance vision. Photic phenomena were comparable and clinically acceptable. ReSTOR patients had greater spectacle independence for near vision and ReZoom patients for intermediate vision. Overall spectacle independence was not statistically significantly different.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
