Bilateral, contralateral multifocal IOLs yield similar distance, intermediate visual acuity
Bilateral implantation of one multifocal IOL power was non-inferior to contralateral implantation of different multifocal IOL powers in improving distance and intermediate visual acuity, according to a study. However, contralateral implantation yielded superior near vision.“Contralateral implantation might be more beneficial for reading than bilateral implantation. Thus, patients demanding spectacle independence when reading would benefit from contralateral implantation,” corresponding author Soraya M.R. Jonker, MD, and colleagues said in the study, published in the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
