Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, involving 18 patients (36 eyes) who received Evolux\u2122 lenses bilaterally. The inclusion criteria comprised individuals over 40 years old with no active eye diseases, excluding cataracts, and no postoperative complications. Various parameters were evaluated, including distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity; refraction; defocus curves; dependency on spectacles; and patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction and visual quality of life were measured using the Catquest-9SF and QOV questionnaires. Results: The average age of the patients was 72.7 years, with the majority being women (77.8%). The results demonstrated excellent postoperative visual acuity at different distances. The mean logMAR values for uncorrected visual acuity were \u22120.04 for distance vision, 0.15 for intermediate vision, and 0.35 for near vision. The defocus curve indicated good tolerance, with visual acuity exceeding 20\/20 in significant defocus ranges. Most patients expressed high satisfaction with their vision without spectacles, particularly for distance and intermediate vision. The need for spectacles for near vision was notably reduced. Furthermore, there was a low incidence of photic phenomena like halos and glare, contributing to the overall high patient satisfaction. Conclusions: Evolux\u2122 lenses were found to be an effective choice for cataract surgery, providing excellent visual acuity at various distances and high patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13237404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]],"date-time":"2024-12-05T06:24:44Z","timestamp":1733379884000},"page":"7404","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Evaluation of Evolux\u2122 Intraocular Lenses in Cataract Surgery: Clinical Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3587-7892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Cano-Ortiz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anterior Segment, Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Hospital Arruzafa, 14012 Cordoba, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences, Universidad Loyola Andaluc\u00eda, 41704 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5303-988X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c1lvaro","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Ventosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anterior Segment, Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Hospital Arruzafa, 14012 Cordoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9594-1601","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Timoteo","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Cruces","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anterior Segment, Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Hospital Arruzafa, 14012 Cordoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8549-8431","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Villalba Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anterior Segment, Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Hospital Arruzafa, 14012 Cordoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Dolores","family":"L\u00f3pez P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anterior Segment, Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Hospital Arruzafa, 14012 Cordoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Carlos","family":"D\u00edaz-Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anterior Segment, Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Hospital Arruzafa, 14012 Cordoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6456-3572","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan J.","family":"Prados Carmona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Reina Sofia University Hospital, 14004 Cordoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victor","family":"Tejerina Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Microcirug\u00eda Ocular (IMO), 28035 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Elies Amat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Microcirug\u00eda Ocular (IMO), 28035 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7612-2555","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Villarrubia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anterior Segment, Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Hospital Arruzafa, 14012 Cordoba, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"331","DOI":"10.4103\/sjopt.sjopt_68_22","article-title":"Extended depth of focus intraocular lens versus a new monofocal intraocular lens: A prospective comparative and interventional study","volume":"37","author":"Sihmar","year":"2023","journal-title":"Saudi J.
