Purpose To assess visual acuity, binocular defocus curve, spectacle independence, and photic phenomena after bilateral same-day cataract surgery with implantation of an extended depth-of-focus intraocular lens (IOL) with mini-monovision. Methods Single-center retrospective study including 124 eyes from 62 patients who underwent bilateral implantation of an isofocal EDOF lens [Isopure® (BVI)] with mini-monovision (−0.50 D). Refraction, visual acuity at different distances, binocular defocus curves, spectacle independence, and subjective ratings of picture-referenced photic phenomena were assessed one to two months postoperatively. Results The mean postoperative refractive spherical equivalent was −0.15±0.41D in the dominant eyes and −0.46±0.35D in the mini-monovision eyes (p<0.01). Overall, 98.4% and 87.7% of the eyes were within ±1.00D and ±0.50D of the target refraction, respectively. Postoperative monocular corrected distance visual acuity was −0.04±0.07 logMAR. Binocular uncorrected visual acuity was −0.02±0.07, 0.13±0.11and 0.40±0.20 logMAR for far, intermediate and near, respectively. At the visual acuity threshold of 0.20 logMAR (or better) the defocus curve ranged from −1.6D to +0.9D. Reported spectacle-independence was 96% for far distance, 95% for intermediate, and 34% for near. Five percent of patients reported halos, 16% starburst, and 16% glare. Only 7% of all patients considered them bothersome. Conclusion In patients undergoing same-day bilateral cataract surgery, an isofocal EDOF lens provided an extended range of functional vision, up to 63 cm, resulting in useful uncorrected near vision, good uncorrected intermediate vision, and excellent uncorrected distance vision. Subjective patient satisfaction in terms of spectacle independence and photic phenomena was high.
