**5. Conclusions**

The majority of patients presenting for cataract surgery who whished to increase independence from spectacle correction are eligible for the implantation of a non-diffractive

EDOF lens. Postoperative visual acuity improves at any distance. In the case of the monocular uncorrected intermediate visual acuity at 80 cm, it is better for patients with EDOF lens than with monocofal or multifocal lens. In the case of monocular uncorrected near visual acuity at 40 cm, patients with EDOF lens achieved worse visual acuity than patients with multifocal lens and better than with monofocal lens. The EDOF lens definitely increases independence from spectacle correction compared to monofocal lenses (65% vs 4%); however, the greatest degree of independence from spectacles is provided by multifocal lenses (100%). Only 14% patients after EDOF implantation reported photic phenomena. Compared to patients with monofocal lens, the incidence of dysphotopsia is slightly more frequent, but definitely it is seen less than in patients with multifocal lens.
