Modified monovision yields better intermediate, distance visual acuity

Modified pseudophakic monovision resulted in better binocular intermediate and distance visual acuity than conventional monovision, according to a study. However, conventional monovision provided better near visual acuity.The prospective study included 82 patients who underwent bilateral implantation of a monofocal IOL. At 3 months postoperatively, investigators simulated modified monovision by adding a +0.75 D spherical lens to the nondominant eye or conventional monovision by adding a +1.75 D spherical lens to the nondominant eye.
