We measured monocular uncorrected and best-corrected-distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA), uncorrected- and distance-corrected-intermediate visual acuity (UIVA and DCIVA), uncorrected- and distance-corrected-near visual acuity (UNVA and DCNVA), manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE) and cylinder, monocular defocus curve and patient-reported outcome questionnaires (Catquest-9SF and NEI VFQ-25). Follow-up visits were carried out at 1, 3 and 6 months post-surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>At 6 months post-surgery all eyes were within \u00b1 0.50 D with a mean MRSE of \u22120.19 \u00b1 0.20 D, 95.45% had a refractive cylinder of \u2264 0.50 D with a mean cylinder of \u22120.24 \u00b1 0.27 D. The mean values of postoperative monocular CDVA, DCIVA, and DCNVA were 0.02 \u00b1 0.08, 0.16 \u00b1 0.11, and 0.26 \u00b1 0.15 logMAR, respectively. The defocus curve showed good visual acuity at distance and intermediate with a depth-of-focus of about 1.60 D. A total of 81.82% of patients did not report any difficulty with their vision in their everyday-life and 86.36% reported being quite satisfied to very satisfied with their current vision. The NEI VFQ-25 showed that all values improved significantly (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05) after the surgery in the different parameters analyzed except for ocular pain (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.390) and color vision (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.333).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The use of a non-diffractive EDOF IOL in AMD eyes with cataracts is a safe and effective surgical approach for visually correcting aphakia, providing good visual acuity at far and intermediate distances.
