Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - the subjects´ age: between 50 and 70 years - pseudophakia - Monofocal aspheric IOL - Corneal astigmatism = 0.75 (rectus and inversus only)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Dyslexia or illiteracy - complications during cataract surgery, which effects the postoperative visual acuity - Diseases that have an influence on vision - astigmatism> 0.75dpt - Spherical refractive error of 2dpt - Opacity of the refractive media

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
There will be ??unique measurements of the near visual acuity and visus using the Freiburg Acuity and Contrast Test (FRACT), shown on the Salzburg Reading Desk (SRD). As a test mark the Radner Reading Charts, Landolt rings, as well as the tumbling E charts are used. The long distance visual acuity is examined via Frankfurt Freiburg Contrast and Acuity Test System (FF-CATS).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
single measurement of - The pupil diameter (Procyon ® P3000) - The subjective and objective refraction (iTrace) - The reading speed and reading distance (Salzburg Reading Desk) - The corneal topography (iTrace)
