Abstract
During the past years, the wish to become independent of spectacles has been growing among cataract and presbyopic patients due to many factors, such as the increase in near visual demands, the aesthetic need for a spectacle-free image and ageing of refractive surgery patients, among others. This review assesses recently published studies that analyze visual and optical performance of eyes implanted with multifocal hybrid intraocular lenses (IOLs). The published evidence suggests patients implanted with this type of IOL obtain a satisfactory full range of visual functions.
