The purpose of this study is to describe visual outcomes, in particular spherical equivalent by manifest refraction and visual acuity across a range of distances, 6 months post implantation of the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® +3.0 D Multifocal Toric IOL in adult patients with corneal astigmatism. Additionally, patient reported outcomes will be assessed.
Each subject completed a preoperative examination of both eyes, implantation of IOL at the operative visit for each eye, and up to 5 postoperative visits (each eye examined at Day 1-2, with binocular visits at Month 1, Month 3, and Month 6 after the second implantation). The second implantation generally occurred within 30 days of the first.

Uncorrected Visual Acuity Across a Range of Distances at Month 6
Visual acuity (VA) was tested binocularly (both eyes together) unaided across a range of distances under well-lit conditions using Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts. VA was measured in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), with 0.1 logMAR increment corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on an ETDRS chart. A lower numeric value represents better visual acuity.
Time frame: Month 6 from second eye implantation
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) Across a Range of Distances at Month 6
VA was tested binocularly with correction in place if needed across a range of distances under well-lit conditions using Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts. VA was measured in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), with 0.1 logMAR increment corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on an ETDRS chart. A lower numeric value represents better visual acuity.
Time frame: Month 6 from second eye implantation
Proportion of Subjects That Achieved Spherical Equivalent Within ± 0.5D, ± 0.75D, and ± 1.0D at Month 6
Manifest refraction was performed under well-lit conditions using an ETDRS chart. The subject was manually refracted to his/her best correction by an outcomes assessor using a phoropter or trial lenses. Manifest refraction was performed for each eye. Proportion of subjects that achieved spherical equivalent within ± 0.5D/ ± 0.75D/ ± 1.0D at Month 6 is reported as percentage of subjects.
Time frame: Month 6 from second eye implantation
Patient Reported Outcomes at Month 6
The Visual Task Difficulty Assessment (VISTAS) questionnaire was completed by the subject to assess difficulty in completing everyday tasks that depend on good vision. Distance specific tasks were rated (without / with corrective aids) using a 1 to 5 point scale, where 1 = no difficulty; 2 = minor difficulty; 3 = moderate difficulty; 4 = major difficulty; 5 = cannot accomplish. Individual scores for each task were averaged to obtain the overall score for each vision type/function. Near vision was defined as less than 50 cm; intermediate vision as 50 cm to 1 m; extended intermediate vision as 90 cm to 4 m; and distant vision as more than 4 m.
