Title	Odyssey study

Purpose	This prospective study evaluated patient-reported visual function, satisfaction, and postoperative symptoms one month and three months after bilateral implantation of the TECNIS Odyssey multifocal IOL.
Methods	Ten patients (20 eyes) underwent bilateral cataract surgery with TECNIS Odyssey multifocal IOL. Patient-reported outcome with online questionnaire at month 1 and 3. regarding long distance/intermediate/near/functional vision on a 5-point scale.
Results	At one month postoperatively, patients generally reported good functional vision for distance and intermediate activities. Near tasks showed greater variability in subjective performance. Nighttime driving was also more challenging than daytime driving, with some patients reporting halos. All patients reported satisfaction with the surgical outcome and postoperative expectations. Net improvement in their quality of life. The nature and severity of postoperative visual complaints varied considerably between patients. A subset of patients experienced halos during nighttime driving. At the 3-month follow-up, most patients reported a decrease of halos, no patient experienced functional limitations due to halos in night driving, as well as improvement in reading distance.
Conclusion	1 month postoperatively patients reported favorable functional vision for far and intermediate tasks, while reading small print and nighttime driving showed to be more difficult. We see a net improvement in reading and halos. Overall satisfaction of patients is high at every timepoint.
