[Current Review: Multifocal Intraocular Lenses and Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lenses].

Presbyopia and cataract patients' wish to be increasingly independent of spectacles after surgery and this is one of the main drivers for the development of multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOL) and extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOL). As education, biometry, diagnostics, surgical techniques, and MIOL/EDOF IOL designs have improved over the past decade, an increasing number of cataract surgeons have become cataract refractive surgeons to help address this need. There is not one single MIOL/EDOF IOL, however, that suits all patients' needs.

[Comparison of Long-term Results with Small Incision Refractive Lenticule Extraction (ReLEX SMILE) vs. Femto-LASIK].

Aim: Our aim was to retrospectively compare ReLEx Smile to femtosecondlaser-assisted LASIK (FsLASIK, femto-LASIK) in terms of safety, efficacy, stability as well as intraoperative complications. Comparable studies only show the results over the course of 3 years, making our data the first to examine longer term results.

Materials/methods: To accomplish this, we compared 404 eyes after FsLASIK (Mel 80, Carl Zeiss Meditec) and 1192 eyes after ReLEx SMILE (VisuMax, Carl Zeiss Meditec).

[Clinical Evaluation of a Novel Intraocular Lens with Enhanced Depth of Focus (EDOF) to Increase Visual Acuity for Intermediate Distances].

Background: Modern intraocular lens surgery has made great progress over the last few years towards creating independency of spectacles in daily life. Especially in the areas of distant and near visual acuity, optimisation has been possible. Nevertheless, with new media and requirements in professional life, there is an increasing need for optimisation of the intermediate range.

Clinical Evaluation of Functional Vision of +1.5 Diopters near Addition, Aspheric, Rotational Asymmetric Multifocal Intraocular Lens.

Purpose: To evaluate postoperative outcomes and visual performance in intermediate distance after implantation of a +1.5 diopters (D) addition, aspheric, rotational asymmetric multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL).

Methods: Patients underwent bilateral cataract surgery with implantation of an aspheric, asymmetric MIOL with +1.

Visual Outcomes, Patient Satisfaction and Spectacle Independence with a Trifocal Diffractive Intraocular Lens.

Purpose: To evaluate visual outcomes following implantation of a trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) and to analyze their correlation with patient satisfaction and ease of performing daily tasks.

Methods: This was a prospective study enrolling 100 eyes of 50 patients undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of trifocal IOL AT LISA tri 839MP. Visual and refractive outcomes were evaluated during a 3-month follow-up.
