Purpose
Compare Visual Result Differences Between 4 Multifocal Diffractive IOL Platforms

Methods
20 eyes of each IOL platform were included; at lisa 809 m/ restor +3/ tecnis mf/fine vision) no other ocular diseases were allowed. Preop, complete evaluation including corneal specular microscopy, macular oct, aberrometry and corneal topography-tomography were evaluated. Phacoemulsification was performed by same surgeon. Postop, final evaluation of visual results are reported at one year follow-up including unva and bcva at distance, intermediate and near distances.

Results
All platforms performed. Similarly, within their respective distance and near focal points.one platform performed better (although statistically non significant) at intermediate uncorrected visual distance.

Conclusion
Diffractive multifocal IOL's evaluated in this study performed similarly and were effective in distance and near visual acuity results.
