Analysis of patients with good uncorrected distance and near vision after monofocal intraocular lens implantation.

Purpose: To analyze factors contributing to uncorrected visual acuity of at least 6/12 for distance and at least J4 for near (pseudoaccommodation) after monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Setting: Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Center, Ahmedabad, India.

Methods: In a case-controlled study of 30 eyes (30 patients) that had phacoemulsification, those with pseudoaccommodation were assigned to cases and 30 eyes (30 patients) without pseudoaccommodation were designated as controls.
