We compared the visual performance of ZCB00 ultraviolet light-filtering and ZCB00V violet light-filtering monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (both Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision) with the same materials and basic design in cataract patients treated from 2011 to 2020. The evaluations were performed 10 weeks after the last surgery for implantation of bilateral lenses ≤ 3 months apart. The ZCB00 and ZCB00V groups included 904 eyes from 452 patients (age 72.3 ± 6.8 y; women/men, 268/184) and 1374 eyes from 687 patients (age 73.0 ± 7.4 y; women/men, 415/272), respectively. Statistical validity was confirmed using a linear mixed-effects model with binocular data and adjustments for age, sex, subjective refraction cylinder, subjective refraction spherical equivalent, corneal astigmatism, axial length, pupil diameter, and corneal higher-order aberrations. ZCB00 showed slightly but significantly better results ( p
