2.	Presbyopia 10/01/2007 - "As a consequence of improvement in intraocular lens (IOL) technology and the wish for presbyopia correction, modern multifocal IOLs are being implanted increasingly more often. " 12/01/2010 - "Presbyopic lens exchange with implantation of the ReSTOR multifocal IOL in emmetropic eyes is an effective and safe procedure for presbyopia correction." 01/01/2022 - "This study aims to systematically review investigator measured and patient reported optical aberrations following implantation of multifocal IOLs during phacoemulsification surgery to treat presbyopia in adults. " 01/01/2009 - ""Multifocal IOLs" for this study included the ReZoom, ReStor and Crystalens presbyopia correcting IOLs. " 06/06/2023 - "Relevant articles were identified using the following keywords: "presbyopia," "multifocal intraocular lens," "angle kappa," "angle alpha," "Chord mu," and "Chord alpha" up to June 2022. "
3.	Astigmatism 07/01/2014 - "The study provides clinical evidence that the new toric multifocal IOL seems to be predictable, safe, and effective, providing satisfactory visual acuity for far and near and correcting astigmatism." 03/01/2010 - "Limbal relaxing incisions at the time of apodized diffractive multifocal IOL implantation, with or without subsequent LASIK, were effective and safe in reducing astigmatism." 03/01/2008 - "It is believed that this association can extend the indications for multifocal intraocular lens implants in patients with significant corneal astigmatism and this possibility should be confirmed by future studies." 05/01/1992 - "This study confirms the benefits to both distance and near vision of myopic astigmatism as an alternative to multifocal intraocular lenses." 02/01/2023 - "The calculation of toric multifocal IOL should be individualized especially in the ATR eyes for the impact of PCA on the estimation of the preoperative corneal astigmatism and the CSIA."
4.	Refractive Errors (Refractive Error) 09/01/2002 - "Six-month results of implantation of the AMO Array multifocal IOL for refractive lens exchange demonstrated safety, efficacy, and predictability in correcting high ametropia and significant improvement of uncorrected near and distance visual acuity." 01/01/2008 - "Wavefront-guided LASIK is safe and effective in diffractive multifocal IOLs to correct residual refractive error, but higher order aberrations did not improve. " 06/01/2009 - "Laser in situ keratomileusis for residual ametropia after apodized diffractive multifocal IOL implantation was predictable, effective, and safe." 01/01/2016 - "The aims of this study are to define the various stages of capsular contraction syndrome (CCS) and its effect on refractive error with hinge-based accommodating intraocular lenses (IOLs) and to describe a systematic approach for the management of the different stages of CCS. " 11/15/2023 - "A significant postoperative refractive error is particularly annoying - and contributes to the patient's dissatisfaction with the procedure and the surgeon - when a multifocal IOL, an EDOF-IOL or a toric IOL has been implanted. "

" 02/01/2007 - "Firm recommendations cannot be made on the use of multifocal intraocular lenses in patients with glaucoma as large studies have not been done to evaluate their benefit. " 07/16/2022 - "Therefore, glaucoma patients need to be cautious of implanting multifocal IOLs. " 07/16/2022 - "A 72-year-old woman with bilateral glaucoma underwent phacoemulsification in the dominant eye (left eye) with implantation of an asymmetrical multifocal IOL.
