Extended depth of focus intraocular lenses (EDoF IOLs) offer an expanded number of modalities for simultaneous cataract and presbyopia treatment. The objective of the current study was to assess clinical outcomes with a new mono-EDoF intraocular lens and to analyze the effect of different parameters on postoperative results. The inclusion criteria were defined as uneventful cataract surgery, no history of concomitant ocular disease, implantation of ZOE Primus-HD lens. Parameters from IOL Master 500 were analyzed. The main outcome measures were postoperative uncorrected distance (UDVA) and intermediate (UIVA) visual acuity. The study included 39 eyes of 37 patients (15 males and 22 females) with a mean age of 73.59±7.71. Postoperatively, the UDVA improved to 0.84±0.16 (p<0.001) and UIVA was 0.86±0.14. There was no correlation between K1, K2 and IOL power with both postoperative UDVA and IDVA. Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference between UDVA and UIVA between patients with mean K value over or under 44.0D (p=0.204 and p=0.817, respectively). The results of a multinomial logistic regression analysis for the predictive value of the factors K1, K2 and IOL power demonstrated no statistical significance, except for UIVA with a significant influence of IOL power (p=0.024) in patients with less than 0.9 Snellen visual acuity. The implantation of the new mono-EDoF ZOE Primus-HD lens led to improvement in both UDVA and UIVA. Patients with keratometry values less than 44.0D could still benefit from the mono-EDoF lenses. Further studies including wavefront aberrometry are needed to study the interaction between corneal aberrations and EDoF IOLs.
