摘要
Contrast sensitivity as a function of focus and visual acuity as a function of contrast were investigated in 19 patients with a diffractive multifocal intraocular lens and compared with 19 control patients with a conventional monofocal implant. The contrast sensitivity of the multifocal patients followed a bimodal curve with a maximum sensitivity at the far focus and a second peak at the near focus, corresponding to about +3 diopters in the spectacle plane. The maximum sensitivity of the multifocal group was 0.14 log units lower than the control group (P < .05). In the near region, the contrast sensitivity of the multifocal patients exceeded that of the control group from + 2 diopters and inward. No difference in distance visual acuity was found with high contrast letters. With intermediate contrast letters, the visual acuity of the multifocal patients was lower than that of the control group (P < .05).
