        Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability and stability 
        of the M-flex (Rayner) multifocal lens (IOL) in pseudophakic eyes 
        after cataract and clear lens phacoemulsification in hyperopic and 
        presbyopic patients. Initial results with the new Toric Multifocal 
        Lens M-flex-T are also presented. Methods: A prospective, non-randomized, 
        observational study in 61 eyes of 43 patients implanted 
        with the M-flex IOL and operated by the same surgeon was performed. 
        The mean follow-up was 12 months (range: 3 – 20 months). 
        Data were collected with Datagraph-med 3.20-d. Changes in Uncorrected 
        Visual Acuity (UCVA), Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), 
        Refraction over time, refractive outcome, Defocus Equivalent, Uncorrected 
      (UCNVA) and Best Corrected Near Vision (BCNVA) and Uncorrected 
      Intermediate Vision at 65 cm. (UIV) were recorded. Complications 
      were noted. Results: UCVA was 0.8 or better in all the 
      cases. The Defocus equivalent was 0.5 diopters or less in all the 
      cases. At 1 year only 20% of patients reach J1 without addition 
      glasses, 60% reach J3, 80% reach J5. The mean addition needed to 
      reach J1 was 1.5 diopters. UIV at one year was 0.8 or better in 75% of 
      cases. No one patient lost lines of vision. Complications were: monocular 
      diplopia (1 case), significant halos (1 case), undercorrection (1 
      case), overcorrection (1 case). Conclusion: The M-flex IOL is safe, 
      stable and predictable. Distance vision and intermediate vision are 
      excellent. Near vision is acceptable as a “social reading lens”.
