Background/Aim: To evaluate distance and near vision-related benefit after implantation of ReSTOR® multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) following cataract surgery. Methods: Two prospective open-labeled nonrandomized studies were pooled. Patients’ perception of benefit was assessed with the TyPE, administered at baseline and after each eye surgery. Results: A total of 499 patients received ReSTOR IOLs, and 173 received monofocal IOLs. The distance vision of monofocal and ReSTOR patients improved equally with and without glasses. A greater improvement in near vision without glasses was reported by ReSTOR-implanted patients as early as after the 1st eye surgery (p < 0.0001). More ReSTOR patients than monofocal patients reported independence from glasses after the 1st eye surgery (64 vs. 52%; p = 0.0002). This difference had increased after the 2nd eye surgery (85 vs. 51%; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The improvement in near vision without glasses was significantly more evident in ReSTOR patients, allowing the majority of them to be free of glasses.
