[Implantation of bifocal intraocular lens from personal material]

Results of 25 bifocal IOLs implantations are presented. Follow-up time ranged from 3 to 6 months. Visual acuity for distant and near vision was estimated. The results were compared with a control group of 50 monofocal IOLs implantations. It was found that bifocal IOLs implantations enable good visual acuity for distant and near vision without additional correction, though visual acuity for distant vision was better in the monofocal group. Patients with bifocal IOLs have complained of glare and/or monocular diplopia more often than patients with monofocal IOLs.
