  • Intraocular pressure (IOP) between 14 and 21 mmHg (Goldmann tonometer);
  • Previous refraction between -5 and +3 diopters in spherical equivalent;
  • Corneas perfectly transparent without leukoma or other corneal pathology.

Exclusion

  • Any acute, chronic or uncontrolled disease as severe heart failure, recent cardiovascular event, respiratory failure, severe hepatic or renal disease, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, active severe autoimmune disease, active malignancy etc. that in the opinion of the Investigator, would increase the risk of operation or affect the outcome of the study;

  • Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) or suspected zonular compromise of any origin;
  • Corneal angle narrow or/and glaucoma;
  • Anterior segment pathology likely to increase the risk of an adverse outcome for phacoemulsification cataract surgery (e.g., pseudoexfoliation syndrome, synechiae, iris atrophy, inadequate dilation, shallow anterior chamber, traumatic cataract, lens subluxation etc.);
  • Any corneal irregularity or leukoma (as assessed by slit lamp and specular microscope pachymetry);
  • Complicated cataracts;
  • Subjects requiring implantation of toric lenses;
