AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® Multifocal IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.) with low add power has a balanced design without prioritizing any foci.

Contrast sensitivity is decreased in multifocal IOLs (MFIOLs) due to distribution of light energy between different focal points.

Multifocal IOL patients experience dysphotopic phenomena of unwanted images, halos, streaks, or starbursts of light.

The Eyecryl ACTV diffractive multifocal IOL (Biotech Vision Care Pvt Ltd.) has comparable visual outcomes in terms of far, intermediate, and near visual acuity.

Defocus curves of Eyecryl ACTV diffractive and AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® multifocal IOL confirm that MFIOLs with lower near adds have better intermediate visual acuity.

The Eyecryl ACTV diffractive multifocal IOL has comparable photopic and better mesopic contrast sensitivity than the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® multifocal IOL.

In general, reading speed parameters are not different between MFIOLs.

The Eyecryl ACTV diffractive multifocal IOL group had higher psychosocial satisfaction; overall satisfaction did not differ significantly between groups.

No unwanted photopic phenomena were noted in the Eyecryl ACTV diffractive multifocal IOL group.

Individuals with limited resources (particularly in low- and low-middle-income countries) may opt for Eyecryl™ ACTV for similar visual outcomes.
