As a new multifocal IOL concept, refractive rotational asymmetry has been introduced into clinical practice for about a half decade, the main part of the lens behaves as a standard monofocal IOL, but in a specific sector of the lens, light is split into numerous foci.

Comparison of the Clinical Performance of Refractive Rotationally Asymmetric Multifocal IOLs with Other Types of IOLs: A Meta-Analysis

Modern cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation results in improved vision and visual function in more than 90% of the cases.1 Currently, monofocal IOL implantation is the standard of care worldwide.

Data from Abbott's study showed that people with cataracts who received the Tecnis Symfony lens achieved significantly improved intermediate, as well as near, vision compared to those who were given a monofocal IOL.

Abbott reports positive results from pivotal clinical trial of Tecnis Symfony 1-Piece Acrylic Intraocular Lens (IOL) for use in cataract surgery

Denser cataracts where OCT macula& RAM is not possible makes difficult in decision making and the decision more towards monofocal IOL is encouraged.

(26) Such an outcome may affect the lens selection as the IOL will need to be housed in the ciliary sulcus, whereupon a monofocal IOL is most commonly used.

Counselling patients for refractive surgery

have compared the outcomes of Tecnis Symfony IOL with those of Tecnis monofocal IOL and concluded that the ERV IOLs provided better distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity than the aspheric monofocal IOL, while maintaining the same level of visual quality [15].

Visual and Refractive Outcomes following Bilateral Implantation of Extended Range of Vision Intraocular Lens with Micromonovision

As the name implies, the lens is an add-on IOL, therefore explantation of the primary/original monofocal IOL (implanted during cataract surgery) from the capsular bag is not required.
