op, operation; Pharmacia intraocular lens (IOLs) were 811C heparin‐coated; Acrysof IOLs were MA60; median first postoperative (post‐op) refraction at 14 days post‐op (range 1–60 days); median first postop refraction  = 6.75 D sphere (range 2–10); median difference (target post‐op refraction—measured first post‐op refraction)  = 0.65 D sphere; range (−2.85 to 2.97 D sphere); median refraction at 3 years (estimated from graphs, n  = 8 eyes of 4 patients) post‐op  = 1.96 D sphere.
