Zusammenfassung:To evaluate the maximally corrected visual acuity and contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions with or without glare in pseudophakic patients implanted with either foldable or rigid intraocular lenses. A total of 83 patients after cataract surgery were examined at baseline and 8-12 weeks later: 47 patients with age-related macular degeneration (Group 1) and 36 patients without ocular comorbidities (Group 2). Contrast sensitivity was measured using a Ginsburg Box, VSCR-CST-6500. Using logistic regression analysis it was revealed that probability of clinically significant improvement of contrast sensitivity under photopic conditions with and without glare in the patients with implanted foldable lenses increased by 3.1 times (95% PI 1.6-5.9, P
