Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the distance, intermediate, and near visual outcomes and monocular defocus curve of a continuous range of vision IOL (Tecnis Synergy, J & J Vision USA).

Setting:

Optegra Eye Hospital, London

Methods:

A retrospective non comparative study of patients undergoing cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange with bilateral IOL implantation with best-corrected distance visual acuity (VA) potential of 20/25 or better. Distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity testing was performed under photopic conditions at 4 m, 66 cm, and 40 cm. Defocus curve testing was conducted from +0.5 D to -4.0 D in 0.5 D increments with minus lenses at 3 months. Patient reported outcome measures including spectacle independence, satisfaction and dysphotopias were collected.

Results:

200 eyes from 100 patients were available for analysis. Monocular best-corrected VA for distance, and distance-corrected intermediate and near were -0.01, 0.094, and 0.092 logMAR at 3-months postoperative. The monocular distance-corrected defocus curve of the first-eyes at 3 months demonstrated continuous range of vision throughout the defocus range.

Conclusions:

The early results of this new IOL are extremely promising with a continuous range of vision and excellent uncorrected visual performance when implanted bilaterally
