(2) Methods: This retrospective, single-center study conducted on 86 eyes from 59 patients aged 40\u201380 years compared the performance and patient satisfaction of Symfony\u00ae and Synergy\u00ae (Johnson &amp; Johnson Vision) IOLs during a follow-up of 1 year postsurgery. Uncorrected and corrected distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities were assessed (UDVA, CDVA, UIVA, CIVA, UNVA, and CNVA, respectively). (3) Results: Although both IOLs demonstrated a commendable distance VA, Synergy\u00ae outperformed in near VA (UNVA, p = 0.040; CNVA, p = 0.014), and Symfony\u00ae slightly excelled in intermediate VA (UIVA, p = 0.014; CIVA, p = 0.040). The defocus curve of Synergy\u00ae maintained a higher VA even at \u22124 D with a smoother curve and a broad landing zone. Although the optical quality assessments were similar, Symfony\u00ae had a nonsignificant edge. Patients indicated higher satisfaction and reduced reliance on spectacles with Synergy\u00ae despite more frequent reports of glare and halos. (4) Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of personalized IOL selection in cataract surgery, which must be customized to apply the distinctive advantages of each IOL to address the unique visual requirements and lifestyle of patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12237368","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,28]],"date-time":"2023-11-28T07:41:32Z","timestamp":1701157292000},"page":"7368","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Comparative Evaluation of Visual Performance and Patient Satisfaction following Cataract Surgery: A Retrospective Analysis of an Extended Depth-of-Focus Intraocular Lens and a Diffractive Multifocal Lens with Extended Depth of Focus"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Kwang Eon","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital, Pusan National University School of Medicine, Yangsan 50612, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Research Institute for Convergence of Biomedical Science and Technology, Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital, Yangsan 50612, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji Eun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital, Pusan National University School of Medicine, Yangsan 50612, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Research Institute for Convergence of Biomedical Science and Technology, Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital, Yangsan 50612, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1097\/ICU.0000000000000340","article-title":"The global state of cataract blindness","volume":"28","author":"Lee","year":"2017","journal-title":"Curr.
