Introduction: Cataract surgery has undergone significant evolution, offering patients not only the restoration of visual acuity but also the potential for reduced dependence on corrective eyewear and improved quality of life. The introduction of multifocal IOLs has revolutionized cataract surgery by addressing the visual needs of patients with presbyopia and providing functional vision at varying distances. However, concerns regarding compromised visual quality and increased incidence of visual disturbances have prompted the need for comprehensive evaluation and analysis of multifocal IOLs' efficacy and safety. Materials and Methods: This prospective study evaluated visual outcomes, patient satisfaction, and complications associated with multifocal IOL implantation in 30 patients (19 males, 11 females) aged 55 to 80 years. Preoperative assessments included visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and ocular examination. Standard small incision phacoemulsification was performed, followed by multifocal IOL implantation. Postoperative assessments were conducted at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and complication monitoring. Results: The study demonstrated significant improvements in visual acuity and contrast sensitivity postoperatively, with high levels of patient satisfaction reported across various criteria. Postoperative complications, including posterior capsular opacification, glare, halos, and dry eyes, were observed in a minority of patients. Conclusion: This study underscores the positive impact of multifocal IOL implantation on visual outcomes and patient satisfaction in cataract surgery. Despite acknowledged limitations, the findings support the efficacy of multifocal IOLs and advocate for their broader adoption in ophthalmic practice, emphasizing the importance of refining outcomes and enhancing patient satisfaction in cataract surgery.
