Comparison of Clinical Outcomes After Cataract Surgery with Implantation of Either a Partial-Depth of Field Extended or Monofocal Intraocular Lens

AI Generated Summary*

Fifty-five cataract surgery patients received, without randomized allocation, a continuous-power partial depth-of-field IOL (Tecnis PureSee, 29 patients) or a same-platform monofocal IOL (26); one eye per patient was analyzed over three months. Distance acuity was similar (uncorrected 0.03 to 0.05 logMAR, corrected -0.03 logMAR). Distance-corrected intermediate acuity was 0.10 versus 0.29 logMAR and near acuity 0.31 versus 0.51 logMAR, favoring the partial depth-of-field lens (p<0.001), as did defocus curves from -1.50 to -4.00 D. The authors interpret a 2.4 D depth of focus at 0.2 logMAR as meeting ANSI EDOF criteria and the ESCRS extend subcategory. Starbursts were infrequent in both groups; Catquest-9SF scores showed less difficulty with reading, shopping, needlework and hobbies but no difference in overall satisfaction.
