Partial monovision achieved by unilateral implantation of a multifocal add-on lens with bilateral pseudophakia: evaluation and results.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the results of partial monovision (PMV) in comparison to a bilateral monofocal implantation (MMV).

Methods

The PMV group was treated bilaterally with a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, followed 3 months later by the implantation of a multifocal AddOn® lens (+ 3.00 D) into the non-dominant eye. The MMV group received a bilateral monofocal IOL implantation intending to achieve a slight anisometropia (0.0 D/ - 0.50 D). The near visual acuity (UNVA), intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), distance visual acuity (UDVA), defocus curve, and Lang-Stereotest II were conducted uncorrected, binocular, and minimum 3 months after the last operation. For the contrast sensitivity test, the patients were refractively corrected. The Quality of Vision Questionnaire
