Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in mobility/self-efficacy-related safety in everyday life, e.g., as a difference in the ABC-D score (preoperative vs. postoperative). Subgroup comparison of endpoint changes between patients with monofocal and multifocal intraocular lenses. Exploratory: Correlation of endpoint changes with baseline characteristics (e.g., age, gender, history of falls, comorbidities/medication). | — |
