PURPOSE: To compare visual function after bilateral implantation of multifocal Lentis Mplus LS-312 (Group A) or Acrysof Restor SN6AD1 (Group B) intraocular lenses (IOLs). SETTING: Ophthalmology Unit, Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra, and Visual Neuroscience Laboratory, IBILI, Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal. DESIGN: Comparative case series. METHODS: Patients between 49 years and 76 years had bilateral cataract surgery with multifocal IOL implantation. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively for distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities; static photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity; and visual acuity under a glare source using the Metrovision contrast sensitivity platform. Color vision was evaluated with the Cambridge Colour Test. RESULTS: Group A comprised 56 eyes and Group B, 44 eyes. Visual and refractive results were comparable between the 2 groups. Photopic contrast sensitivity was significantly better in Group B at intermediate (2.2 cycles per degree [cpd] and 3.4 cpd) and high (7.1 cpd and 23.6 cpd) spatial frequencies. Under low mesopic conditions (0.08 candelas/m(2)), differences were significant at 1.1 cpd and 2.2 cpd spatial frequencies. There were no differences in visual acuity under a glare source or in color vision. CONCLUSIONS: Both IOLs provided good distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities. Visual acuity under a glare source and color vision were similar in the 2 groups. However, photopic and low mesopic contrast sensitivities were better in Group B, particularly for intermediate spatial frequencies, which are important for night driving.
