               (mIOL) zu erreichen, ist die sorgfältige Patientenauswahl. Das gleiche Linsenimplantat
               kann bei verschiedenen Patienten zu komplett unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen führen.
               Obwohl das postoperative Ergebnis nicht immer vorhersagbar ist, gibt es einige Hinweise,
               wie sich die objektiven und subjektiven Ergebnisse durch eine sorgfältige Patientenselektion
               verbessern lassen.
            
         Abstract
         
         Patient selection is the key to patient satisfaction with multifocal intraocular lenses
            (mIOLs). While multifocality provides spectacle independence, it is associated with
            potentially bothersome side effects inherent in multifocal optics. Photic phenomena
            such as halos and glare, as well as loss of contrast in low light environments, can
            be potentially problematic in visually demanding occupations and leisure activities.
            The use of mIOLs may also be disadvantageous in patients with certain comorbidities
            that affect vision or increase the risk of complications. In addition, unilateral
            mIOL implantation, preoperative myopia, postoperative ametropia, unrealistic patient
            expectations and certain personality traits may lead to lower patient satisfaction
            with mIOLs. Healthy, hyperopic patients with presbyopia or cataracts, a desire for
            spectacle independence and a willingness to compromise tend to achieve the highest
            satisfaction with mIOLs.
