Abstract Details
Purpose:
To determine the visual outcomes and complications following surgery using a hybrid acrylic refractive continuous transitional focus (CTF) lens compared to patients undergoing surgery with a monofocal lens.
Setting:
Single centre case-control study
Methods:
Patients with higher than 1D astigmatism and co-existing ocular pathologies were excluded from this study. 24 consecutive cases (eyes) undergoing cataract surgery with a CTF lens (Ophtec Precizion Presbyopic CTF lens) were compared to a similar cohort undergoing surgery with a monofocal lens. Respective patient demographics, post-operative refractive outcomes, pre-operative and post-operative best corrected visual acuity, intra-operative and post-operative complications, and intermediate and near vision were collected. Patients were also asked about symptoms of glare, haloes, photopic phenomena and post-operative spectacle independence. Analysis was conducted and data was compared to defocus information produced by the lens manufacturer.
Results:
In both groups, post-operative uncorrected distance visual acuity improved. There were no significant intra-operative or post-operative complications in either group. Patients with CTF lenses showed greater spectacle independence compared to patients with monofocal lenses. The CTF lens group had minimal reports of glare or photopic phenomena; they also reported approximately 80% spectacle independence, showing refractive defocus data similar to that of previous studies.
Conclusions:
Preliminary analyses indicate that CTF lens leads to improved intermediate and near vision with greater level of spectacle independence and low reports of photopic phenomena.
