Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the efficacy of Eyhance intraocular lens implantation in providing intermediate visual acuity and avoiding dysphotopsia after cataract surgery especially in people driving at night.

Setting:

A secondary care multispeciality day care ophthalmic eye hospital in India.

Methods:

The first 31 patients who underwent Eyhance intraocular lens implantation (Johnson and Johnson Vision) after uneventful phacoemulsification were evaluated for uncorrected and corrected distance, intermediate and near vision at five weeks post operatively. Patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism less than 1.0 D were implanted. Any complaints of disturbing haloes/glare at night were elicited.

Results:

Out of 31 patients, one was lost to follow up and one had 6/36, N36 best corrected visual acuity because of macular scar. Of the remaining 29 patients evaluated, age range was 26 – 80 years, 24 were males and 7 females. Uncorrected distance visual acuity was 6/9 (20/40) or better in 93% (27/29) of patients. 62% (18/29) patients had uncorrected N6 intermediate vision at 60 cms. 38% (11/29) had N8 to N10 intermediate vision. 59% (17/24) patients had near vision of N6 with correction. 41% (12/29) patients could read N6 without correction. There were no complaints of disturbing glare or haloes at night on enquiry.

Conclusions:

Implantation of Eyhance intraocular lenses after cataract surgery provides excellent uncorrected distance vision, good intermediate vision and reasonable near vision. The patients do not have disturbing glare and haloes at night and these lenses would be a good choice for people driving at night.
