Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate and compare contrast visual acuity with / without glare, quality of life, spectacle independence and dysphotopsia symptoms after cataract surgery with 2 different diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) implantation.

Setting:

Department of Ophthalmology, Marmara University Medical School, Istanbul, Turkey

Methods:

This prospective study enrolled cataract patients having bilateral implantation of Acrysof Restor SN6AD1 apodized MIOL (n=15 patients) or Acriva Reviol MFM 611 MIOL (n=15 patients). Binocular uncorrected distance (UDVA), intermediate (UIVA) and near (UNVA) visual acuities; contrast sensitivity measurements with and without glare (CSV-1000 E), photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity by Pelli-Robson test,) and patient satisfaction by National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life Instrument-42 (NEI-RQL-42) questionnaire were analyzed preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 3, 6, 12 months.

Results:

There were no statistically significant postoperative differences in the visual acuity parameters (p>0.05). Contrast sensitivity measurements, spectacle independence and dysphotpsia symptoms were not significantly different between the 2 IOL groups. There were significant improvements in 12 subscales and the overall scale of NEI-RQL-42 at 12 months after surgery (p<0.0001). Neodymium: YAG laser capsulotomy was not required in any of the eyes.

Conclusions:

Both MIOLs provided excellent and clinically relevant postoperative improvements in visual outcomes, contrast sensitivity, and quality of life.
