You may qualify if…

• Study participants must have a cataract for which phacoemulsification extraction and posterior IOL implantation has been planned in at least one eye.
• Study participants should be capable of achieving better than 20/30 Snellen best corrected distance vision after cataract extraction and IOL implantation.
• The surgeon may use the Mento Potential Acuity Meter (PAM)laser interferometer, McIntyre Pinhole, or his/her judgement to estimate the patient's potential acuity.

You may not qualify if…

• Concurrent participation or participation in the last 30 days in other clinical trials.
• Known steroid IOP responder.
• Taking medications that may affect vision, IOP, or ease of cataract surgery (e.g. Flomax, Glaucoma medications, etc.).
• Acute or chronic disease or illness that would increase risk or confound study results(e.g. uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, immunocompromised, etc.).
• Uncontrolled systemic or ocular disease.
• Corneal abnormalities (e.g. stromal, epithelial, or endothelial dystrophies)
• Pseudoexfoliation.
• Ocular hypertension (>or =20hg) or glaucomatous changes in the optic nerve.
