Inclusion Criteria

1) Unilateral/Bilateral

2) Age = 45 year or greater.

3) Cataract for which phacoemulsification extraction and posterior

chamber IOL implantation was planned in at least one eye of the

patient. 4) Clear intraocular media other than cataract.

5) Signed informed consent. 6) Patient who are willing to attend all the regular follow-up

examinations as per the study schedule.

7) Patients with Grade I to III cataract and used OVDs

8) Patients that have healthy eyes excluding the formation of cataract.

9) Given consent to use device related data for scientific purpose.

10) No other ocular pathology or condition and pupil dilation that was

greater than 7.0 mm

Exclusion Criteria

1) Concurrent participation or participation in the last 30 days in any

other clinical trial.

2) History of previous steroid - induced IOP

3) Patient with pigment dispersion syndrome

4) Taking medications that may affect vision, IOP, or ease of cataract

surgery (e.g., Flomax, glaucoma medications, etc.)

5) Acute or chronic disease or illness that would increase risk or

confound study results (e.g., diabetes mellitus,

immunocompromised, etc.).

6) Uncontrolled systemic or ocular disease.

7) Previous intra ocular or corneal surgery or history of ocular trauma. 8) Corneal abnormalities (e.g., stromal, epithelial or endothelial

dystrophies).

9) Known pathology that may affect visual acuity; particularly retinal

changes that affect vision (e.g., macular degeneration, cystoid

macular edema, diabetic retinopathy, etc.).

10) Any visual disorder predicted to cause future acuity loss to a level

of 0.3 LogMAR or worse.

11) Pseudoexfoliation

12) Ocular hypertension ( >22 mm Hg) or glaucomatous changes in the

optic nerve.

13) Endothelial cell counts lower than 1500 cells/mm2 preoperatively

(based on the lowest value of three cell counts performed by

technician at investigative site).

14) Patient is pregnant, planned to become pregnant, lactating or had

another condition associated with the fluctuation of hormones that

could lead to refractive changes.

15) Vulnerable subject.

16) Black, Brunescent, traumatic or subluxated cataract.

17) Patient who had Glaucoma, Pseudo exfoliation Syndrome with Iris

atrophy, uveitis, Proliferative diabetic retinopathy at the time of

surgery (Random blood sugar level more than 140 mg/dl).

18) A history of chronic or recurrent inflammatory eye disease (e.g.

iritis, scleritis, uveitis, Iridocyclitis, rubeosis iritis).

19) Intraocular pressure (IOP) higher than 24 mm Hg

20) Surgery of the contralateral eye performed or planned within a

period of 7 days before or after the surgery of the studied eye
