Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are designed to overcome the postoperative lack of accommodation by dividing the incoming light onto two or more focal points. One of these is used for distance vision, the other for near or intermediate vision. These IOLs reduce the need for spectacle correction in daily life [1]. However, good refractive outcomes and low residual astigmatism after surgery are crucial to success. Therefore, accurate biometry and good patient selection are the keys to success. this article is available in open access under Creative Common attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) license, allowing to download articles and share them with others as long as they credit the authors and the publisher, but without permission to change them in any way or use them commercially
