ReSTOR^® Diffractive versus Array^®2 Zonal-progressive Multifocal Intraocular Lens: a Contralateral Comparison

Abstract

The diffractive MIOL showed better uncorrected and distance corrected near VA. The refractive Array 2 MIOL had a tendency to better value for intermediate distance. Disturbing photic phenomena were observed only in one case with the Array 2 MIOL.

Visual acuity from far to near and contrast sensitivity in eyes with a diffractive multifocal intraocular lens with a low addition power

“…In addition, it has been shown that halo and glare symptoms are less with diffractive multifocal IOLs than with refractive multifocal IOLs. 34,35 These results suggest fewer adverse effects with the multifocal IOL with a C3.0 D add.…”

Visual outcomes and optical performance of a monofocal intraocular lens and a new-generation multifocal intraocular lens

“…8,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]15,[21][22][23] However, optical side effects have been reported with multifocal IOLs; these include induction of halos and glare and loss of contrast sensitivity. [11][12][13]24,25 In this study, we evaluated a new-generation IOL, the Lentis Mplus LS-312, which is based on the concept of refractive rotational asymmetry. It is the first commercially available IOL based on this concept.…”

Quality of life evaluation after implantation of 2 multifocal intraocular lens models and a monofocal model

“…8,9,13,[30][31][32] The center of the IOL surface consists of an apodized diffractive optic (3.6 mm diameter) that focuses light for near through distance. The refractive region of the IOL bends light as it passes through the IOL to a focal point on the retina.…”
