Short and long distance vision as well as vision in twilight conditions and dazzle sensitivity in 2 groups of 30 persons have been compared. In one group Corneal-Dual bifocal intraocular lenses and in the other group monocular lenses were implanted. In the former group 0.75 or nearer vision acuity was obtained without any additional correction, while in the latter group obtention of such vision required additional correction to +/- +2 4.0 D sph. Vision in twilight conditions and dazzle sensitivity were similar in both groups, though clearly lower than normal. The study also presents indications and contraindications for implantation of bifocal lenses.
