New multifocal intraocular lens design

Abstract

The first clinical experience with a new diffractive multifocal intraocular lens implanted in 55 eyes of 53 patients is reported. Excluding four patients with preoperative senile macular degeneration, the best corrected visual acuity was 20/40 or better and the near vision without any add to the best distance correction was J2 or better in all cases three, six, and 12 months postoperatively.
