Introduction For decades, spherical monofocal lenses were the sole option for implantation in cataract surgery. However, their use has been accompanied by recognized drawbacks, such as compromised contrast sensitivity and photic disturbances, particularly notable under mesopic conditions. These limitations prompted a market shift toward aspheric negative aberration-correcting monofocal lenses, despite evidence suggesting that they offer reduced depth of focus (DOF) compared to spherical lenses.
