title: [Diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses. A prospective clinical study].
abstract: Forty-three patients were examined three months after implantation of a multifocal or bifocal intraocular lens following cataract extraction. With far vision correction, simultaneous bifocal function with far acuity better than 0.5 and near acuity better than Nieden 3 was achieved in 95.4% of these cases. Glare sensitivity was tested with the BAT and mesopic visual acuity was examined with the Ocutrast. No statistical differences were found between these patients and a control group with monofocal IOLs.
