description

We report 3 patients implanted with the AcrySof ReSTOR pseudoaccommodating intraocular lens (IOL) who had irregular nonreactive pupils as a consequence of pupil stretching during phacoemulsification. Despite the pupils, the visual acuity at distance and near was not compromised. The outcome in these cases suggests that an irregular nonreactive pupil is not an exclusion criterion for pseudoaccommodating IOL implantation.
