Purpose: To evaluate the longterm efficacy of 1 CU® accommodative intraocular lenses (IOLs) to restore near visual performance. Methods: This prospective study comprised 14 eyes previously included in a 6-month, case-control clinical trial, undergoing phacoemulsification and implantation of a 1 CU® accommodative IOL. The main outcome measures were subjective refraction, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), best corrected distance VA (BCDVA), distance-corrected near VA (DCNVA), best corrected near VA (BCNVA), and subjective amplitude of accommodation (AA). In addition, anterior and posterior capsule opacification were assessed. Patients were examined over a 2-year follow-up period. Results: Distance and near visual performance worsened after 6 months. Uncorrected DVA and BCDVA were 0.8 ± 2.1 and 1.0 ± 0.8 at 6 months and 0.4 ± 0.1 and 0.6 ± 0.1 at 1 year, respectively (p = 0.001). Distance-corrected NVA and BCNVA were 3.7 ± 2.1 Jaeger (J) and 1.0 ± 0.7 J at 6 months and 8.1 ± 0.7 J and 1.5 ± 0.5 J at 1 year, respectively (p = 0.001). Anterior and posterior capsule opacification were present, respectively, in 28% and 21% of patients at 6 months and in 100% of patients at 1 and 2 years (p
