Influence of ocular biometric parameters such as effective lens position, keratometry, and axial length on near add power of multifocal intraocular lens.

Visual quality after multifocal intraocular lens (mIOL) implantation has received increased attention. Postoperative residual ametropia, posterior capsule opacification, dry eye, IOL decentration, pupil size, and other factors can affect patient visual acuity. In addition, patient dissatisfaction after mIOL implantation has a relationship with the near add power of mIOLs, which is correlated with vision habits of different patients. Indeed, the actual spectacle plane add power of mIOLs is incompletely consistent with the near add power given by the manufacturers. Ocular biometric parameters such as effective lens position, keratometry, and axial length have effect on the near add power of mIOLs in the lens plane. In this article, the influence of ocular biometric eye parameters on the actual near add power of mIOLs in the lens plane was reviewed.
