Sumario:Cataract surgery has evolved. The goal of the surgeon includes both restoration of vision and refinement of vision. Patients’ desire for spectacle independence has driven the market for presbyopia-correcting cataract surgery and development of novel intraocular lens (IOL) designs. The Tecnis(®) Multifocal Intraocular Lens incorporates an aspheric, modified anterior prolate IOL with a diffractive multifocal lens design. The design aims to minimize spherical aberration and improve range of focus. The purpose of this review is to assess patient acceptability of the Tecnis(®) multifocal intraocular lens.
