Functional outcomes after bilateral implantation of apodized diffractive aspheric acrylic intraocular lenses with a +3.0 or +4.0 diopter addition power

Intermediate vision at a mean reading distance of approximately 40 cm was better with the aspheric IOL with a +3.0 D add than with the aspheric IOL with a +4.0 D add, as shown by the near peak in the mean binocular defocus curve; near and distance acuity were similar between the 2 IOLs. Patients reported excellent overall quality of vision, spectacle independence, and satisfaction.
