Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes delivered by a new hybrid presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (IOL): TECNIS Synergy ZFR00V IOL model (Johnson &amp; Johnson Vision). Setting: Hospital da Luz Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal. Design: Prospective observational study. Methods: Patients undergoing bilateral IOL implantation were included. Visual acuity (VA) was measured for far distance, intermediate (66 cm), and near (40 cm) vision under both photopic and mesopic conditions. In addition, at the 3-month follow-up visit, the defocus curve was obtained for binocular vision, and questionnaires were administered to measure spectacle independence and level of satisfaction ( quality of vision and Catquest-SF9) with the surgical outcomes. Results: 54 eyes of 27 patients were included. At the 3-month follow-up, under photopic conditions, VA values were as follows: corrected distance VA (CDVA) = −0.02 ± 0.07, distance-corrected intermediate VA = 0.03 ± 0.11, and distance-corrected near VA (DCNVA) = 0.00 ± 0.08, whereas under mesopic conditions, VA values were as follows: CDVA = −0.01 ± 0.05 and DCNVA = 0.07 ± 0.09. The binocular defocus curve revealed that mean VA was better than 0.30 logMAR within the +1.00 to −4.00 diopters (D) interval, and better than 0.10 logMAR between +0.50 and −3.00 D. All patients achieved distance vision spectacle freedom, whereas 3.7% of them said they used them in certain intermediate or near vision situations. As much as 88% of the patients reported being fairly satisfied or very satisfied. Conclusions: The TECNIS Synergy ZFR00V IOL model used for cataract surgery is capable of restoring visual function while providing very good intermediate and near vision, under both photopic and mesopic conditions, resulting in a high level of patient satisfaction.
