Comparison between OPD-Scan results and visual outcomes of monofocal and multifocal intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To compare the visual outcome, contrast sensitivity and wavefront analysis of patients that underwent cataract surgery and implantation of AcrySof SN60D3 multifocal intraocular lens with those who received the AcrySof SN60AT monofocal IOL.

Methods: This was a prospective clinical trial of forty eyes that received the multifocal IOL and thirty-two eyes that received the monofocal IOL after phacoemulsification.

Results: Values for total and spherical aberrations in the multifocal group were statistically lower than in the monofocal group.
