Multifocal IOLs help to restore distance and near vision

The majority of patients with monofocal IOLs enjoy distance vision, as do patients with ReSTOR IOLs. In one study, all patients had good vision with glasses with either lens type. Intermediate vision is more likely to be "acceptable" in those with ReSTOR IOL however intermediate vision is less likely to be "excellent" - this is due to the optics of the multifocal lens which due to its nature needs to focus light into 2 planes - which can affect contrast sensitivity (eg ability to distinguish objects apart in dim illumination).
