Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate our initial experience with a new TECNIS Eyhance ICB00 monofocal IOL with enhanced features for intermediate vision.

Setting:

Private Clinics, UK

Methods:

Outcomes of 25 presbyopic patients who underwent cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange with bilateral implantation of the TECNIS Eyhance ICB00 were reviewed. The age range of patients was 52 to 68 years. One month postoperative clinical and patient-reported outcomes were analysed.

Results:

The mean binocular distance visual acuity was -0.07 logMAR (range 0.15 to -0.18 logMAR) and the mean binocular intermediate visual acuity was 0.08 logMAR (range 0.32 to 0.0 logMAR). Less than 5% of patients experienced severe difficulty with glare, halo or starburst. Only 2 patients reported significant difficulties with tasks requiring intermediate vision (e.g. working on computer, cooking, fixing things around house). No intraoperative or early postoperative adverse events related to the IOL have been noted.

Conclusions:

The new monofocal IOL might be a good alternative for patients with ocular pathology where a true multifocal or an extended depth of focus IOL might be contraindicated. The IOL showed low incidence of visual phenomena at 1 month, but longer follow-up is needed to determine the performance of this IOL.
