title: [Multifocal and monofocal implant. Comparative functional results (contrast sensitivity and dynamic visual acuity)].
abstract: The functional results (contrast sensitivity and dynamic visual acuity) of 19 multifocal (3 M design) and 14 monofocal intraocular (IOL) were compared. Best corrected visual acuity was > or = 8/10 P 2. Major differences of functional performance in favour of monofocal IOL's were found under standard conditions of vision (low contrast and illumination levels). Dynamic visual acuity allowed accurate evaluation of the difference of performance between these two models of implant. The indications for multifocal IOLs were reconsidered in the light of these results.
