title: The preliminary clinical observation of array multifocal intraocular lens implantation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the clinical effects of implantation of Array multifocal intraocular lenses.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-one cases (37 eyes) of cataract patients, including 15 males (19 eyes) and 16 females (18 eyes), were involved in this study. All patients underwent standard phacoemulsification with Array multifocal intraocular lens implantation. The complications during operation, postoperative distant visual acuity, near visual acuity, corneal curvature and visual symptoms were observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mean value of best postoperative visual acuity was recorded as follows: uncorrected distant visual acuity was 0.8, the best-corrected distant visual acuity was 0.9, uncorrected near visual acuity was 0.5, near visual acuity with distant-corrected was 0.6, the best-corrected near visual acuity was 0.9. The astigmatism of cornea was less than 1.5 D pre-operatively and post-operatively. One patient complained of glare.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Array multifocal intraocular lens can provide good distant and near visual acuity. With observation of more cases and follow-up of longer time, we can draw a further conclusion.
