Active Comparator: Higher Cylinder Toric IOL
Consented subjects that are eligible will have both eyes implanted with a TECNIS Symfony IOL. Each eye may have a different TECNIS Symfony IOL implanted, as determined by the surgeon and the TECNIS Symfony Toric IOL calculator; however, at least one eye must be implanted with either a Symfony Toric IOL Model ZXT150 (lower-cylinder group) or a Model ZXT300 or ZXT375 (higher-cylinder group) and the fellow eye must have the same or a lower toric power. The eye with the highest toric power IOL will determine the model group.
