title: A comparison of a monofocal Acrysoft IOL using the "blended monovision" formula with the multifocal array IOL for glasses independence after cataract surgery.
abstract: We compared the Acrysoft monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) in the mini monovision formula (n = 20) with the Array multifocal intraocular lens (n = 20) for glasses independence after cataract surgery. The Acrysoft monofocal IOL group showed similar and even slightly better results than the Array multifocal IOL group. The monofocal Acrysoft IOL using the mini monovision (blended vision) formula is a good alternative for providing post-cataract surgery glasses independence.
