Reducing the use of reading spectacles in pseudophakic patients – „Motivation Study“

In general, pseudophakic patients are unable to accommodate. But some cases, patients who have undergone cataract surgery manage to achieve good distance and near vision and do not need glasses for either distance. This is attained through a large depth of focus of the eye or pseudoaccommodation, and other factors. Aim of this study is to assess whether motivation of patients to attempt to do near work without glasses and ‘exercise’ their near vision, results in less spectacle dependency in patients, who have undergone bilateral cataract surgery within the last year.
