ClinConnect Summary

Spectacle independence is a central aim in modern cataract surgery. Although bilateral monofocal IOL implantation, aiming for emmetropia or low myopia, leads to high levels of patient satisfaction in distance vision, spectacle dependence for reading and other near vision tasks is the usual result.

The option commonly used to achieve spectacle independence are multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). Multifocal IOLs either use a refractive or diffractive design or a combination of both or segmented asymmetric optics. The principal of the refractive design is based on changing the route of ligh...
