Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Postoperative uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity for far distances is assessed with LogMar and ETDRS charts for each eye at 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months 2. Postoperative uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity for intermediate distances (60 cm) is assessed using the Jeager eye chart for each eye at 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months 3. Postoperative uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity for near distances (33cm) is assessed using the Jaeger eye chart for each eye at 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months 4. Postoperative binocular uncorrected visual acuity for far (4 m), intermediate (60 cm) and near (33 cm) distances at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Rate of visual disturbances was assessed with specific questionnaires with scores from 0 (for absence of disturbances) to 5 (for maximal difficulty) at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after sugery 2. Spectacle dependence rate at far, intermediate and near visual distances was assessed with specifict questionnaires with scores from 0 (total independence) to 5 (for maximal dependence) at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after sugery 3. Global visual satisfaction was assessed with specifict questionnaires with scores from 0 (absolutely not satisfied) and 10 (fully satisfied) at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after sugery 4. Difficulties in everyday activities was assessed with specifict questionnaires with scores from 0 (total ease) to 5 (maximal difficulty) at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after sugery | — |
