Uncorrected visual acuity |
Comparison of uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA), intermediate visual acuity, near visual acuity were measured at 5m, 80cm and 33cm respectively. All visual acuity measurements were conducted under photopic conditions (85 cd/m2) and at 100% contrast in design group and control group. |

Optical quality |
An OPD scan III aberrometer (NIDEK Co. Ltd., Gamagori, Japan) was used to evaluate postoperative mesopic and photopic pupil diameters and the quality of vision in each subject. Visual acuity was evaluated by MTF(modulation transfer function), SR(strehl ratio), intraocular total aberration, high order aberration, spherical aberration, coma aberration, trefoil aberration under 4mm pupil diameter. |

Contrast sensitivity |
Contrast sensitivity measures were conducted uniocularly, under photopic, mesopic (5 cd/m2), photopic with glare and mesopic with glare conditions, with the OPTEC 6500 contrast sensitivity test (Stereo Optical, USA). Contrast sensitivity was evaluated at five spatial frequencies (1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree [cpd]). Patients were allowed 5 minutes to adapt to each illumination level before testing. |

Defocus curve |
Monocular defocus curves were obtained in all patients, positioned at 5m under photopic (>85 cd/m 2 ) condition to measure the visual acuity with each defocus lens, representing the consecutive visual function of each eye. Negative lenses were added in 0.50 D steps and the visual acuity was recorded for each type of defocus level. The procedure was then repeated but with positive lenses. The range of defocus evaluated was from -4.00D to +2.00D. |
