Abstract Details

Purpose:

To compare the clinical outcomes of multifocal intraocular lenses(IOLs) with different add powers after cataract surgery.

Setting:

Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital.

Methods:

Consecutive eyes of cataract patients were divided into 2 groups. Group A received a Tecnis multifocal IOL with a near add power of +2.75 diopters (D) and Group B, with a near add power of +4.00 D. Distance, near, and intermediate visual acuity outcomes were evaluated during a 6-month follow-up. Postoperative contrast sensitivity, ocular aberrations, defocus curves, and patient satisfaction were analyzed.

Results:

Patients ranged in age from 41 to 62 years. Group A comprised 15 eyes and Group B, 16 eyes. After surgery, no significant differences between groups were observed in uncorrected distant, intermediate and near visual acuity (p >.46). There were statistically significant differences between-group differences in several levels of defocus corresponding to intermediate vision based on defocus curves (p<.042). There were no significant differences in postoperative contrast sensitivity, internal aberration, and patient satisfaction between groups (p >.36).

Conclusions:

Both IOL models restored distance, intermediate and near visual function and IOL with +2.75D add power more improved intermediate vision.
