Visual acuity from far to near and contrast sensitivity in eyes with a diffractive multifocal intraocular lens with a low addition power

The diffractive multifocal IOL with a low add power provided significantly better intermediate and near visual acuity than the monofocal IOL. Contrast sensitivity with and without glare was reduced with the multifocal IOL, and all-distance visual acuity was independent of pupil diameter and IOL displacement.
