To evaluate visual performance in patients implanted contralaterally and bilaterally with the small-aperture hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) (IC-8 IOL; AcuFocus, Irvine, CA).

In this prospective, non-randomized, non-comparative study, 10 contralateral patients were implanted with a monofocal IOL in one eye and an IC-8 IOL in the other. There were 10 bilateral patients implanted with an IC-8 IOL in both eyes. All patients were observed for at least 12 months after the study device was implanted in each eye. Visual acuity, patient satisfaction, ease of task performance, visual symptoms, defocus curves, and contrast sensitivity comparisons are presented.

For bilateral and contralateral patients, the mean uncorrected and corrected distance binocular acuities were 20/25 or better at all distances. All 10 (100%) contralateral and 10 (100%) bilateral patients achieved 20/32 or better …
