Meta-analysis of defocus curves of monofocal, enhanced monofocal and extended depth of focus IOLs.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

Recently, modified monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (proposed mono plus IOLs) have emerged claiming to provide monofocal quality distance vision while enhancing intermediate distance visual performance. The purpose of this study was to conduct a literature review and compare the range of vision following cataract surgery with the implantation of standard monofocal, claimed monofocal plus and extended depth of focus (EDoF) IOLs.

Methods

Literature searches and a meta-analysis were conducted on Embase, PubMed, IOLEvidence App and the Food and Drug Administration premarket approval database. Mean defocus curves were calculated with a random effect model and study quality was assessed.

Results

After eliminating duplicate publications, 36 studies were in
