KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS, Multifocality in IOLs is achieved through refractive or diffractive optical approaches. Diffractive multifocal IOLs intentionally induce diffraction so that the waves exiting the lens will have constructive interference at two or more distinct foci at different distances. Zonal refractive multifocal IOLs shape the waves exiting the lens from different annular regions so that they converge to…

Approximately 3.6 million cataract surgeries were performed in the USA and more than 20 million worldwide in 2015.1 Using established surgical techniques, the natural lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens. This is among the most common procedures performed by ophthalmic surgeons. Femtosecond-laser assisted cataract surgery, with imaging guidance, is a modern technique enabling…
