The binocular defocus curve showed a VA better than 0.20 logMAR over a range from +\u20091.50 to \u2212\u20092.45 D. Contrast sensitivity aligned with monofocal lenses, highlighting the lens\u2019s clinical value. Aberrometry showed minimal changes in corneal aberrations. NEI-RQL-42-Questionnaire showed a high patient satisfaction for daily activities and revealed reduced dependence on glasses, particularly for near and intermediate vision. The Acunex Vario AN6V demonstrated minimal dysphotopsias, making it a promising option for those seeking spectacle independence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This segmental refractive EDoF IOL provides a high degree of spectacle independence for far and intermediate distances with functional near VA.
