Purpose: The authors present the biometrical and functional results of a retrospective study in which they evaluate the patients with hyperopia and presbyopia that were operated by clear lens extraction with implantation of multifocal ReSTOR +3D intraocular lens. Material & Method: We studied a group of 21 eyes from 11 patients with age between 40 and 70 years, who were operated for hyperopia and presbyopia by phacoemulsification with multifocal posterior chamber ReSTOR +3D intraocular lens. Before the surgery we performed the ocular biometry, the ultrasound and optic technique. The refractive target was 0.00�?�?�?¢�?�??�?�?��?�??�?�??+0.5 D. Results: At 1 year after the operation, the refractive target was obtained in 38.1% of cases. At 6 weeks after the operation, the distance visual acuity without correction was 0,0logMar scale in 66.67% of cases and the visual acuity with correction was 85.72%. Visual acuity at near without correction was 0,0logMar scale in 71.43% and with correction in 90.48% of cases. The intermediate visual acuity without correction was 0.0logMar scale in 66.67% and with correction 90.48% of cases. At one year after the surgery, distance visual acuity without correction was 0.0logMar scale in 66.67% of cases and with correction in 80.95% of cases. Near visual acuity without correction was maximal in 76.19% of cases and with correction in 85.72% of cases. Intermediate visual acuity without correction was 0,0logMar scale in 71.43% and with correction it was maximal in 85.72%. Conclusion: Refractive clear lens extraction with multifocal intraocular lens ReSTOR +3D implantation gives very good functional results at distance, intermediate and near. It represents a therapeutical approach at patients older than 40 years old with hyperopia and presbyopia.
