“…In the study by Marques et al,8 all the patients with monovision achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/40 or better, and in the study of Javitt and Steinert,9 96% of the patients who received multifocal IOLs also achieved 20/40 uncorrected visual acuity. The multifocal group reported a slightly more favorable level of satisfaction with near vision than the monovision group, although the difference was not significant ( P =0.6260).…”

“…In Akaishi et al’s12 study, multifocal lenses resulted in a mean satisfaction of 8.48 on a scale of 1–10 (1= incapacitating and 10= excellent), and in the study carried out by Marques et al,8 the pseudophakic monovision technique also resulted in a high degree of satisfaction (97.3%).…”

“…At the end of 3 months and at a distance of 60 cm, 83% of the patients achieved J3 or better and 35% of the patients achieved J2 or better. In the study carried out by Marques et al,8 which evaluated intermediate vision in monovision, 90% of the patients achieved a visual acuity of J3 or better. However, Chang’s13 study revealed that multifocal lenses provided good distance, intermediate and near vision under photopic and mesopic lighting conditions.…”

“…Contemporary cataract surgery using the phacoemulsification technique not only has the objective of restoring lens transparency but also has a refractive objective, providing good distance and near vision and improving quality of life with independence from glasses 8. Furthermore, a national driver’s license may only be obtained in Brazil when visual acuity is equal to or better than 20/30, and for most near vision activities, a visual acuity of J3 or better allows performance of everyday activities with less difficulty.…”

PurposeTo analyze patient satisfaction and difficulties with bilateral multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) implantation and aspheric monofocal IOLs implantation using monovision, after cataract surgery.Materials and methodsA total of 61 participants were included in the study, 29 with monovision and 32 with multifocal lenses. The inclusion criteria were patients undergoing phacoemulsification for bilateral visual impairment due to cataracts and presenting with postoperative visual acuity of 20/30 or better for distance and line J3 or better for near vision.ResultsThe 2 groups had similar results regarding difficulties with daily activities such as distance vision, near vision, watching television, reading, cooking, using a computer or cellphone, shaving/putting on makeup and shopping. There were differences in responses between the groups regarding difficulty with night vision (P=0.0565) and night driving (P=0.0291). Degree of satisfaction in terms of distance vision without glasses was statistically significantly better in monovision group (P=0.0332), but not for near (P=0.9101).ConclusionBoth techniques yielded satisfactory results regarding visual acuity for different activities without the need to use glasses. Multifocal lenses are a good option for patients with the exception of night driving, and who desire independence from glasses.

“…Recently, we published in cohort of patients that 97.4% were satisfied or very satisfied with this technique using non-toric IOL achieving spectacle independence in 92.6% However, these options are suitable for patients with corneal astigmatism up to 1D in order to provide good distance and near vision without needing for enhancements (6) .…”
