2. Introduction
In 2006 we conducted a study, reported previously, with a specially designed questionnaire of patients implanted with the Acrysof ReSTOR SN60D3 lens. This had been sent to 50 patients at least 12 months post-op - 40 responded fully.
This year we repeated the exercise with patients implanted with the aspheric ReSTOR SN6AD3 lens. We got 15 responses from 25 patients more than 1 year out from surgery.

4. The following question were asked
Score your distance vision in good and poor light
Score your near vision in good and poor light
Do you use glasses used for reading?
Do you use a computer?
Do you use glasses for computer work?
Do you drive regularly?
Score your driving during the day and at night
Are glare and haloes an issue when night driving?
Do you play cards?
Do you use glasses to play cards?
Would you recommend this lens to friends and family?
Only the important differences will be highlighted

5. Distance and near UCVA in good and poor light (score 0-7 where 7 is highest)
Standard ReSTOR Aspheric ReSTOR

6. Driving day and night - range 0-7
Standard ReSTOR Aspheric ReSTOR

7. Glare and haloes night driving
Standard ReSTOR Aspheric ReSTOR
No patient spontaneously mentioned any night time visual disturbances
No patient does not drive at night

8. In conclusion
Although patients willingness to recommend the lens to friends and family was similar between the groups
Standard ReSTOR Aspheric ReSTOR
The theoretical improvement in mesopic vision and lessening of haloes and glare of the aspheric ReSTOR seems to exist for patients in their world
