Implantation of the ReSTOR IOL offered excellent visual acuity at distance and near distance and functional visual acuity in the intermediate range. For patients who need excellent vision at intermediate range, leaving 1 eye with distance myopia or hyperopia to compensate for intermediate vision may provide consistent good binocular vision over the full range in cases of bilateral implantation.

Intermediate optimization with slight myopia in 1 eye after bilateral implantation of the multifocal IOL offered consistent good vision at all ranges, indicating it a safe option for patients who require good vision at intermediate ranges.
