This study will assess the impact of IOL glistenings on visual quality and function in patients implanted with a single-piece AcrySof intraocular lens (IOL) that exhibits glistening formations. The primary objective is to determine if random light scattering (measured by C-Quant)correlates with severity of glistenings, other objective measures of visual function (visual acuity, low contrast visual acuity, low contrast visual acuity with glare), and subjective measures of patients' perceptions of their visual quality after cataract surgery (quality of life survey, reports of symptomology and satisfaction).
