Multifocal versus monofocal intraocular lenses after cataract extraction.

BACKGROUND Good unaided distance visual acuity is now a realistic expectation following cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Near vision however still requires additional refractive power usually in the form of reading glasses. Multiple optic (multifocal) IOLs are available which claim to allow good vision at a range of distances. It is unclear whether this benefit outweigh...

Visual Outcomes After Cataract Surgery: Multifocal Versus Monofocal Intraocular Lenses.

PURPOSE To evaluate visual outcomes, spectacle independence, and quality of life among nonastigmatic and astigmatic patients who received AcrySof IQ ReSTOR toric or nontoric multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX) compared with those who received commercially available nontoric monofocal IOLs after bilateral cataract removal. METHODS This randomized, patient-...

Comparative Study of Multifocal Versus Monofocal Lenses after Cataract Extraction Surgery

The lens is a highly organised, transparent structure that has evolved to alter the refractive index of light entering the eyes. With the practice of cataract extraction surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation good unaided distance visual acuity is now a realistic expectation post-surgery. Monovision does not allow full advantages of binocularity, including stereopsis at near. Multifoca...

Optical performance of monofocal versus multifocal intraocular lenses.

In their recent paper, Ortiz et al. studied the optical performance of monofocal and multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) in the human eye. Their main conclusion was that of the IOLs studied, the hybrid refractive–diffractive IOLwas the least affected by pupil diameter in terms of intraocular aberrations. This IOL type also showed a smaller increase in optical aberrations during pupil dilation....

Comparative visual performance with monofocal and multifocal intraocular lenses

BACKGROUND To compare near, intermediate, and distance vision, and quality of vision using appropriate subjective questionnaires, when monofocal or apodized diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are binocularly implanted. METHODS Patients with different binocular IOLs implanted were recruited after surgery and had their visual acuity tested, and quality of vision evaluated, at a si...
