45 EW REFRACTIVE May 2017 100% of patients saying that they would choose their EDOF IOL again. AcrySof IQ ReSTOR respondents were part of the group most "able to read books and newspapers without correction." These responses were lowest in the Symfony group with up to 45% unable to read books without correction. The study outcomes were revealing about the strengths and weaknesses of these three different presbyopic IOLs. Dr. Attia summed up the results, saying, "The inves- tigation revealed the advantages of each IOL. Binocular intermediate visual acuity was good, even for the bifocal IOL. The bifocal IOL showed the highest near visual acuity. Bin- ocular intermediate reading acuity at preferred distances was similar for the trifocal and the EDOF IOL. The EDOF IOL showed the lowest near visual acuity but a wide range of sharp vision between far and inter- mediate distances. Between 70 and 90% of examined patients would undergo surgery with the same IOL once again. In the end, the choice of the IOL is an individual choice depending on the patient's lifestyle and main activities. Furthermore, preoperative patient education about the benefits and flaws of each IOL is essential."
