Comparative analysis of defocus curves of four presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses with four designs: diffractive panfocal, diffractive trifocal, segmental refractive and extended depth of focus
The Panfocal, Trifocal, Extended-depth-of-focus, and Segemental Refractive IOLs provide comparably good distant and intermediate visual acuity. All showed good near vision, with only the EDOF IOL demonstrating lower spectacle independence. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)

Cataracts, irregular corneal astigmatism, and strong desire for spectacle independence
In 2016, a then 62-year-old man presented with gradual painless reduction in vision. His medical history was unremarkable other than for the use of tamsulosin for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The patient's ocular history was positive for myopia and astigmatism for which he has used only spectacles; he has never worn contact lenses because he is very “phobic” regarding his eyes. He had not had an eye examination for several years and could not recall previous eyecare professionals. There was no significant ocular family history.
