Oculentis (Multifokal vs Monofokal): Comparison between bilateral low-add multifocal intraocular lenses and monofocal intraocular lenses: a randomised trial

Although bilateral monofocal IOL implantation, aiming for emmetropia or low myopia, leads to high levels of patient satisfaction in distance vision, spectacle dependence for intermediate vision, reading and other near vision tasks is the usual result. One option to enhace intermediate vision and to leave patients with good contrast sensitivity is the use of low-add multifocal IOLs. One example of these low-add multifocal IOLs is the LENTIS Comfort MF15 with a near add of 1.50D. Its single transition zone works to deliver patients the same kind of distance vision as a monfocal IOL with the addition of enhanced intermediate vision. This should result in better unaided distance vision and therefore higher patient satisfaction after cataract surgery. The rationale of this study is to compare the clinical performance of low-add multifocal IOLs with monofocal IOLs concerning visual function and spectacle independence for distance vision.
