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.
