Functional vision is an important consideration for cataract patients, especially in low visibility conditions, where seconds can matter in recognizing danger.

The AcrySof® IQ lens offered statistically and clinically significant improvements in night driving test conditions that simulated city and rural settings under normal, glare and fog conditions.

In these tests, the IQ lens performed functionally better in 34 of 36 conditions tested. The performance in 12 of these conditions was statistically significant, with the greatest advantage observed in detection and identification of city pedestrians and rural warning signs under glare and fog conditions.

The improved functional vision of the AcrySof® IQ lens gave respondents greater time to take appropriate action.

Ask your doctor if the AcrySof® IQ lens is right for you.
