Abstract
<p class="first" id="d22575221e129">Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) offer the
possibility of spectacle-free vision
following cataract surgery compared to standard IOLs. Existing systematic reviews
have generally concluded that multifocal IOLs result in better uncorrected near vision
and greater spectacle independence, but more unwanted visual phenomena such as glare
and halos, compared to monofocal IOLs. However, the certainty of evidence has been
low for most outcomes, and pooled analyses have grouped together technologically obsolete
lenses with newer lenses, potentially obscuring differences in performance across
different lens types.
