Objective: To observe the influence on spectacle independence, satisfaction and visual function after cataract surgery monovision with different ADD. Methods: Prospective clinical study. All patients were collected from the department of ophthalmology, Shanghai JiaoTong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital who were diagnosed as bilateral cataract from Oct. 2013 to Mar. 2015. This study comprised 64 cases (128 eyes). All consecutive patients scheduled to undergo bilateral cataract phacoemulsification and implantation of a monofocal AcrySof IQ IOL. The average age of patients was (65.4± 6.0) years old, ranged from 51 to 70 years. 28 males and 36 females. According to the different demands of spectacle independence and living habits of patients, all cases were divided into two groups: MV1 group (32 patients), whose near addition being 1.25-1.75 D and MV2 group (32 patients), whose near addition being 2.25-2.75 D. Parameters 6 months postoperatively included binocular uncorrected distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities, stereo vision and refractive states were analyzed. Parameters of spectacle independence, subjective visual symptoms and patient satisfaction according to visual function questionnaire were analyzed at the same time. T test was used to compare uncorrected visual acuity. Whitney U test was operated in stereo vision comparison. Chi-square test was applied in sex-distribution comparison and visual function questionnaire between two groups. Results: The uncorrected distance vision in MV1 group was (0.09±0.09), while it was (0.11±0.08) in MV2 group. The uncorrected intermediate vision in MV1 group was (0.27±0.25), and it was (0.30±0.22) in MV2 group. There were no significant difference between two groups in bilateral uncorrected distance vision (t=1.62, P=0.264, LogMAR), intermediate (t=- 0.23, P=0.876, LogMAR). However, there was significant difference between two groups in uncorrected near vision (t=2.38, P=0.021, LogMAR). It was (0.06±0.06) in MV1 group and (0.02±0.07) in MV2 group. Moreover, near stereo vision was better in MV1 group than MV2 group (Z=- 1.29, P=0.031). On the questionnaire, all patients in two groups had no significant difference in their daily lives discomfort (÷(2)=0.10, P=0.756). In MV2 group, there were 2 patients complained obstacles while walking stairs dimly. In MV1 group, there were 3 patients had to wear low degrees of presbyopic glasses when they were on near work. Percentage of patients spectacle independence was less than 90% in MV1 groups. In MV2 group, one case needed low degrees of myopic glasses when he was on intermediate computer work and playing table games. Conclusion: Different near addition has similar advantages to different patients on spectacle independence, satisfaction and visual function after cataract surgery.
