Purpose: To evaluate the refractive results, visual outcomes and patients' satisfaction of a new extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL). Setting: Oculens Clinic, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Design: Retrospective, single-center, observational study. Methods: 104 eyes of 52 patients undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of the Mini Well Ready EDOF-IOL (SIFI, Catania, Italy) were included in the study. Visual acuity at distance, intermediate and near was evaluated at 1, 6 and 12 months. Refractive results, contrast sensitivity, defocus curve and photic phenomena were also assessed. Results: The mean age of patients was 66.04±7.82. A significant reduction of the spherical equivalent and improvement of corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was observed (p<0.0001) after the surgery. All eyes obtained a CDVA of 0.5 or better at one month. All eyes achieved a corrected intermediate visual acuity (CIVA) of 0.5 or better and a corrected near visual acuity (CNVA) of 0.5 or better. At 12 months the spherical equivalent was within -0.5- +0.5 diopters (D). Conclusions: The EDOF-IOL offers good visual outcomes at distance, intermediate and near vision, providing an adequate contrast sensitivity and low rate of visual disturbances.
