This study presents results obtained after implantation of 25 diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses. The follow-up ranged from six to 12 months. Visual acuity for distance without correction was 0.5 or better in 72% of cases; for near, it was J1 to J3 in 84% of cases. Slight decentration of the lens and pupil size did not affect visual acuity.
