ABSTRACT

With recent advancements in refractive surgery, we can achieve sufficient results in the treatment of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Patients are able to appreciate good uncorrected visual acuity (VA), and their quality of life can also be improved. The next interest goes to how we can treat presbyopia. Several methods have been introduced. Implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) instead of original crystalline lenses is familiar to the ophthalmic surgeon, since we are performing this technique for cataract patients for many years. We could learn most results of multifocal IOLs from our cataract patients.
