Abstract

We followed up the 100 patients (104 eyes) who had undergone cataract extraction and PCL implantation into the bag with 3M diffractive multifocal intraocular lensee for at least 2 month, in order to evaluate the function of this lens. 92 eyes (88.5%) had the far corrected vision more than 0.5 and 94 eyes (90.4%) had the near vision with far correction more than J3. We added additional adds (-0.25, +0.25, +0.50, +0.75D) in order to ascertain the adequacy of +3.50D add in this lens and it was found that the additional add of +0.75D was most preferred. This means that more add is necessary for near vision. There was, also, no more remarkable side effects or difficulties associated with this lenses. So, multifocal Intraocular lenses enable good near vision without any severe disadvatages but the amount of near add is cuntroversial.
