Abstract Details

Purpose:

To compare visual function after implantation of multifocal Lentis comfort LS-313 MF 15 (group A) or Lentis M plus LS-313 MF 30 (group B) intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Setting:

Asan Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea.

Methods:

Patients ranged in age from 49 to 76 years who received monocular cataract surgery with multifocal IOL implantation were analyzed. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively for distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities, and static photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity. A satisfaction questionnaire was administered 3 months after surgery.

Results:

Group A comprised 21 eyes and group B contained 34 eyes. Both groups had a statistically significant improvement in uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities postoperatively (P < 0.01). Uncorrected visual near acuity at 33 cm was better in group 2 (1 month: P = 0.013; 3 months: P= 0.051). Uncorrected intermediate visual acuity at 70cm was better in group 1 (1 month: P=0.060; 5 months: P= 0.044). No significant differences in contrast sensitivity were observed between the groups. Glare and halo symptoms were better in group 1 (glare: P=0.044; halo: P=0.029).

Conclusions:

Inferior sector-shaped, near-addition IOLs with lower add powers (+1.5 Diopter) provide good vision over longer working distances and show fewer glare and halo symptoms.
