Exclusion criteria: targets for mini-monovision, incomplete data, other ocular pathology. Data were prospectively collected on pre- and postoperative refraction, keratometry, distance vision, near vision, surgical wound site and Surgically Induced Astigmatism (SIA).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The average postoperative monocular Uncorrected Distance and Near visual acuities (UDVA and UNVA) were 0.12 LogMAR (\u00b1 0.1) (6\/7.5<jats:sup>+1<\/jats:sup>) and 0.34 LogMAR (\u00b1 0.09) respectively. The average binocular UDVA and UNVA were 0.05 (\u00b1 0.07) and 0.29 LogMAR (\u00b1 0.06) respectively. Low levels of preoperative corneal astigmatism (0-0.99 D) were associated with better LogMAR UDVA and UNVA when compared with higher levels (&gt; 0.99 D): 0.11 (CI 0.103-0.107)<jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic>0.206 (CI 0.122-0.290) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>=0.015, CI 95%) and 0.33 (CI 0.316 - 0.356)<jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic>0.39 (CI 0.34-0.43) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>=0.034, CI 95%) respectively.
