For VF-14 questionnaire, the maximum score was 4 and the minimal score was 0. All VF-14 scores were converted into a 100-point scale, in which higher scores indicated better visual perceptions. The subjective perception of glare and halos was assessed by two direct 4-scale Likert-type questions (1-severe; 2-moderate; 3-slight; 4-none). The spectacle dependence for total vision activities was also assessed by direct 4-scale Likert-type questions (1-always; 2-most of the time; 3-sometimes; 4-never). The grade of the overall satisfaction used the 5-point Likert scale (1-very dissatisfied; 2-dissatisfied; 3-neither satisfied nor dissatisfied; 4- satisfied; 5-very satisfied). IOL = intraocular lens, EDOF = extend depth-of-focus, VF-14 = visual function index-14, SFP = spectacle-free patients, SD = standard deviation, IR = interquartile ranges, and NA = not available. Statistically significant .
