Abstract Details

Purpose:

To investigate the 3-month postoperative performance and safety after implantation of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in a Korean population.

Setting:

Clinical

Methods:

Forty-four subjects (88 eyes) with bilateral cataract with expected postoperative corneal astigmatism of <1.00 diopter (D) and no ocular disease or eye condition underwent bilateral implantation of the AcrySof IQ® PanOptix IOL (TFNT00). Postoperative examination at 3 months included binocular defocus curve; binocular best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA); monocular/binocular uncorrected VA (UCVA) at distance (4 m), intermediate (60 cm), and near (40 cm); binocular contrast sensitivity under photopic conditions with/without glare; and subjective outcomes of spectacle independence.

Results:

Binocular defocus curve at 3 months after bilateral implantation showed mean acuity of 0.1 logMAR or better between +0.5 and -2.5D of defocus. Binocular BCDVA mean ± SD at 4 m was −0.05±0.07 logMAR. Binocular and monocular UCVAs were 0.03±0.1 and 0.08±0.12 logMAR (4 m), −0.03±0.11 and 0.05±0.13 logMAR (60 cm), and 0.03±0.12 and 0.09±0.13 logMAR (40 cm), respectively. Contrast sensitivity with glare was 1.67±0.13, 1.91±0.17, 1.54±0.21, and 1.14±0.20 log units at 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles/degree, respectively. For near, intermediate, and distance tasks 84% 91%, and 96% of subjects reported spectacle independence, respectively.

Conclusions:

In a Korean population, visual performance of the trifocal TFNT00 IOL 3 months postoperatively was <0.1 logMAR for binocular UCVA at all distances, with high rates of spectacle independence.
