The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational IOL in providing a range of vision as compared to a commercially available trifocal IOL in subjects undergoing cataract extraction and IOL implantation.
Upon obtaining written informed consent and confirmation of subject eligibility via preoperative assessments, subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the investigational IOL or the commercially available trifocal IOL in both eyes. The second eye for each subject was implanted after completion of the 1-week follow up for the first implanted eye. The expected total duration of participation for each subject was up to 14 months.

Distance Corrected Near Visual Acuity (DCNVA) at 100% Contrast - First Implanted Eye
Visual acuity was tested at a distance of 40 centimeters with distance correction (plus or minus power) in place.
Time frame: Month 6 postoperative
Distance Corrected Intermediate Visual Acuity (DCIVA) at 100% Contrast - First Implanted Eye
Visual acuity was tested at a distance of 66 centimeters with distance correction (plus or minus power) in place.
Time frame: Month 6 postoperative
Distance Corrected Near Visual Acuity (DCNVA) at low contrast - First Implanted Eye
Visual acuity was tested at a distance of 40 centimeters with distance correction (plus or minus power) in place.
Time frame: Month 6 postoperative
Percentage of Eyes with 20/32 or Better Visual Acuity Between 4 meters and 40 centimeters on the Defocus Curve
A series of plus and minus lenses were placed over the subject's best distance manifest correction to simulate distances from far to hear.
Time frame: Month 6 postoperative
