Prospective Comparative Study of Tolerance to Refractive Errors After Implantation of Extended Depth of Focus and Monofocal Intraocular Lenses with Identical Aspheric Platform in Korean Population

Background: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of extended depth of focus (EDOF) and monofocal intraocular\nlenses (IOLs) that share identical aspheric platform and compare their visual acuity tolerance to postoperative\nrefractive errors.\nMethods: This non-randomized, prospective comparative study included 120 eyes undergoing cataract surgery\nwith implantation of either Tecnis ZCB00 IOL (Abbott Medical Optics Inc., Santa Ana, CA) (monofocal group: 60 eyes\nof 30 patients) or Tecnis Symfony IOL (Abbott Medical Optics, Inc.) (EDOF group: 60 eyes of 30 patients). Monocular\nand binocular visual outcomes, changes in refraction, defocus curve, contrast sensitivity, and perception of photic\nphenomena (Halo & Glare Simulator; Eyeland Design Network, Vreden, Germany) were evaluated 3 months\npostoperatively. To compare the refractive tolerance, each group was divided into three subgroups according to\nthe postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and postoperative spherical equivalent (SE).\nResults: In the EDOF group, the mean 3-months postoperative monocular UDVA, intermediate (UIVA), and near�����..
