This is the first published study about clinical results with the multifocal phakic anterior chamber IOL. Patient satisfaction and explantation rate were similar to the results after presbyopic lens exchange.

9. Leyland M, Zinicola E: Multifocal versus monofocal intraocular lenses in cataract surgery. A systematic review. Ophthalmology 2003; 110:1789-1798. This review confirmed the known advantages and limitations of multifocal intraocular lenses. His patient satisfaction rate was counterbalanced by some loss in contrast sensitivity and in best corrected visual acuity.

This paper demonstrated better near contrast sensitivity and better bear visual acuity by correcting for near the distance IOL power.

A learning curve for implanted patients to get accustomed to multifocal IOLs has been found in this study, at least to ignore image blurring at distance focus.

Secondary procedures for refractive errors and for visual disturbances were required by originally emmetropic patients, and not by patients originally hyperopic by two or more diopters. Secondary procedures did not increase patient satisfaction in this study.
