Comparative Evaluation of Visual and Functional Outcomes Following Cataract Surgery with Extended Depth of Focus versus Multifocal Intraocular Lenses: A Retrospective Study
Abstract: Background: Cataract surgery is a commonly performed surgical procedure with increasing emphasis on postoperative visual quality. Aim: To compare visual outcomes and patient satisfaction between EDOF and multifocal intraocular lenses. Methods: Retrospective study of 250 patients (125 EDOF, 125 multifocal). Statistical analysis included t-test and chi-square. Results: Mean UDVA was comparable (p=0.42). Intermediate vision significantly better in EDOF (p<0.001). Near vision better in multifocal group (p<0.001). Halos were reported in 12% EDOF vs 32% multifocal (p=0.002). Conclusion: EDOF lenses provide better intermediate vision with fewer dysphotopsia, while multifocal lenses provide superior near vision.
