Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and quality of life of newly generated monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) in patients diagnosed with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IEM) following phacovitrectomy. Methods: In this prospective study, 42 patients with IEM and cataract underwent pars plana vitrectomy. They were divided into the ICB00 group (21 patients) and the ZCB00 group (21 patients). Data collected before and after the surgery were compared between the two groups, including uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), vision-related quality of life (VRQOL), intraocular pressure, contrast sensitivity (CS), and central macular thickness (CMT). Results: The preoperative characteristics of the two groups showed no significant differences. However, at the 6-month follow-up after surgery, there were significant improvements in UDVA (p < 0.001), UIVA (p < 0.001), VRQOL (p < 0.001), CS (p < 0.001), and CMT (p < 0.001) compared to baseline. Notably, the Eyhance ICB00 group showed a significantly higher UCIVA value at 6 months post-surgery when compared to the Tecnis ZCB00 group (p = 0.001), while other parameters did not show significant differences between the groups. Conclusion: The Eyhance IOL significantly improved both intermediate and distance visual acuity, with no notable difference in quality of life or CS compared to the Tecnis ZCB00 IOL after IEM removal. It appears to be a favorable choice for combined cataract and vitreoretinal surgery, offering enhanced vision for daily tasks and a promising alternative to traditional monofocal IOLs.
