Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate visual outcomes and patient satisfaction with a toric trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL, PanOptix Toric, Alcon Laboratories Inc,USA).

Setting:

Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey, Retrospective case series.

Methods:

Files of patients who had undergone cataract surgery with implantation of Acrysof PanOptix Toric were retrospectively evaluated. Uncorrected distance visual acuity at 6 meters (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity at 80 cm (UIVA), and uncorrected near visual acuity at 40 cm (UNVA) at the last follow-up examination taken under photopic conditions (85 candelas/m2) were noted. Any visual disturbances, spectacle dependence and overall satisfaction were also evaluated. Thirteen patients were implanted unilaterally and 5 patients were implanted bilaterally.

Results:

Eighteen eyes of 13 patients completed 3 months follow-up. The mean age of these patients was 60.85 ± 8.32 years. The mean best corrected visual acuity was 0.26 ± 0.25 logMAR preoperatively. The mean UDVA was 0.02 logMAR ± 0.03, the mean UIVA was 0.04 ± 0.06 logMAR, and the mean UNVA was 0.03 ± 0.06 logMAR at month-3 follow-up. The mean difference between intended and achieved axis orientation was 1.77°±2.64°. Eighty-nine percent of the patients rated overall satisfaction as “very good” to “excellent” and 95% of the them reported complete independency from spectacles.

Conclusions:

The toric trifocal IOL provided effective restoration of vision at far, intermediate and distance, with “very good” to “excellent” overall patient satisfaction.
