Methods: Patients with preexisting low-grade ERM who underwent cataract surgery with the implantation of an EDOF IOL were included. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), autorefraction and keratometry, manifest refraction, and central foveal thickness (CFT) were measured before surgery and at postoperative months 3 and 6. A monocular defocus curve was measured 6 months postoperatively. Furthermore, patients were instructed to report symptoms of photic phenomena at each visit. Results: In total, 16 eyes of 16 patients (median age, 59.5 years) were included in this study. Compared with those at baseline, the CDVA, UDVA, UIVA, UNVA, and CFT significantly improved at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The defocus curve revealed that a visual acuity of 0.12 logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution or better was maintained from +0.5 to \u20131.5 diopters. No patients reported visual disturbances suggestive of photic phenomena, such as glare or halo. Conclusions: EDOF IOL implantation had excellent outcomes, including improved distance and intermediate visual acuity, functional near visual acuity, and absence of visual symptoms in patients who received phacovitrectomy to treat low-grade ERM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14072423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,2]],"date-time":"2025-04-02T07:47:44Z","timestamp":1743580064000},"page":"2423","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Clinical Outcomes of Combined Phacoemulsification, Extended Depth-of-Focus Intraocular Lens Implantation, and Epiretinal Membrane Peeling Surgery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8735-1684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ho-Seok","family":"Chung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, Ulsan University College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dabin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Dankook University Hospital, Dankook University College of Medicine, Cheonan 31116, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin-Hyoung","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MS Eye Clinic, Seoul 06512, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S17","DOI":"10.3928\/1081597X-20210408-03","article-title":"The Economic Impact of Presbyopia","volume":"37","author":"Donaldson","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
