Abstract Details

Purpose:

To assess the 1-month and 12-month postoperative visual performance and subjective patient satisfaction following combined implantation of an extended depth of focus and trifocal intraocular lens (IOL).

Setting:

Cathedral Eye Clinic, Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK

Methods:

The refraction, uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuities, uncorrected intermediate (UIVA) and near (UNVA) visual acuities, distance-corrected intermediate and near visual acuities, and a quality of vision (QoV) questionnaire were evaluated 1 month and 12 months after implantation.

Results:

The study enrolled 100 eyes of 50 patients. The mean binocular UDVA was -0.07 logMAR ± 0.07 at 1 month and -0.10 ± 0.12 logMAR at 12 months (P= .061). The mean binocular UIVA was 0.16 ± 0.13 logMAR and 0.11 ± 0.11 logMAR, respectively (P = .009). The mean binocular UNVA was 0.19 ± 0.13 logMAR and 0.14 ± 0.10 logMAR, respectively (P = .003). The mean nighttime and day QoV scores were 8.04 ± 1.56 and 9.08 ± 0.94 at 1 month, and 8.19 ± 1.35 and 9.31 ± 0.66 for night and day at 1 year.

Conclusions:

This combination of IOL implantation provided excellent unaided vision in near, intermediate, and distance vision 1 month and 12 months postoperatively. However, near and intermediate vision significantly improved at 1 year. There was a high overall subjective night and day QoV score which improved at the second assessment.
