Abstract

Multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) are designed to reduce dependence on spectacles for all vision ranges after cataract surgery or clear lens extraction. The Lentis Mplus IOL (Oculentis GmbH, Berlin) is a sectorial piece refractive multifocal lens made of hydrosmart with an aspheric posterior surface. The multifocality is achieved by implementing a distance piece and a distinct near sector of +3.0 D in the lower IOL segment, comparable to a multifocal spectacle lens. Here we report the case of a patient who developed a hyperopic shift following MIOL implantation and needed additive excimer laser treatment to achieve an adequate visual result [1].
