Objective:

To evaluate the performance and patient satisfaction of different increased-range-of-focus (IRoF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) in cataract surgery.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • All four IOLs performed similarly on defocus curves and significantly better than monofocal IOLs.
    • Patients reported high rates of spectacle independence, especially for distance vision.
    • The TECNIS PureSee lens had the highest proportion of patients reporting no need for glasses and the least incidence of bothersome dysphotopsias.
    Interpretation:

    While all IRoF lenses provided satisfactory outcomes, the TECNIS PureSee lens was associated with higher patient satisfaction and lower rates of dissatisfaction compared to other lenses.

    Limitations:
    • The study was retrospective and not a prospective clinical trial.
    • The sample size was small, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.
    Conclusion:

    The study suggests that IRoF IOLs, particularly the TECNIS PureSee, offer excellent visual outcomes and high patient satisfaction, making them a viable choice for cataract surgery.
