        Purpose: To compare functional near and intermediate vision of 
        patients after bilateral cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) 
        implantation of ReZoom/ReSTOR, ReSTOR/ReSTOR, or ReSTOR/Re- 
        STOR blended ( 1.0D). Methods: A total of 44 patients were divided 
        into 3 groups based on the type of IOL implanted: Group A (mix/ 
      match), Group B (bilateral ReSTOR), and Group C (blended ReSTOR). 
      Bilateral near and intermediate vision was evaluated without correction 
      and wearing the best distance correction using the NPReading 
      test. Reading speed, words per minute (wpm), at the different font 
      sizes was compared among the groups. Results: Uncorrected near 
      and intermediate vision of patients in group A (179.8 ± 42.2 and 
      173.3 ± 28.7wpm), group B (183.3 ± 38.0 and 174.6 ± 23.0 wpm), and 
      group C (179.3 ± 33.5 and 172.7 ± 28.9 wpm). Best distance corrected 
      near and intermediate vision of patients in Group A (189.2 ± 38.0 and 
      169.0 ± 35.3wpm), Group B (190.9 ± 23.5 and 168.8 ± 23.6 wpm), and 
      Group C (172.5 ± 38.2 and 153.5 ± 31.5 wpm). The number of subjects 
      that were able to read decreased as the font size decreased. Conclusions: 
      Overall, all the subjects read in a similar pattern (inverted-u 
      shape). Functional near and intermediate vision of patient in Group 
      B was slightly better when compared to those in Group A, and C. The 
      combination of bilateral ReSTOR is best for reading fine print.
