Abstract Details

Purpose:

To describe the refractive results of multifocal IOL implantation in patients with previous corneal refractive laser surgery for myopia.

Setting:

Retina Total Eye Care, Driebergen, The Netherlands.

Methods:

Prospective data collection of refractive and visual acuity results 3 months after implantation with a multifocal IOL (Acrysof Restor, Alcon) in patients who have had previous corneal refractive laser surgery for myopia (LASIK, LASEK or PRK).

Results:

Seventy-six eyes of 42 patients were included. Thirty-two eyes underwent lens extraction because of cataract, 44 eyes had a clear lens extraction. Mean post-operative UCDA was 0.14±0.03 LogMAR, median was 0.10 LogMAR. Mean post-operative SE was -0.31±0.10D. Fifty-five % reached ±0.50D, 86% reached ±1.0D. One eye needed an IOL-change because of a refractive surprise of -3.00D. There were no serious adverse events (no cystoid macular edema, no endophthalmitis)

Conclusions:

Multifocal IOL implantation in eyes with previous corneal laser surgery for myopia gives good results in terms of refractive outcome and visual acuity.
