Key Points

• Extended depth of focus lenses may be an effective solution for the growing number of presbyopes who desire good visual acuity at all distances.

• The advantages of EDOF lenses over multifocal lenses include a reduced incidence of photic phenomena, improved uncorrected intermediate visual acuity suitable for working with computers and smartphones, and no loss of contrast sensitivity.

• Implanting an EDOF lens requires careful selection of patients.
