Abstract Details

Purpose:

To determine the efficacy and safety through the retrospective analysis of 1500 patients implanted with an asymmetric refractive intraocular lens.

Setting:

Sydney, Australia

Methods:

1500 Patients were carefully assessed and selected to have an asymmetric refractive intraocular lens (MF30, Oculentis) implanted after cataract surgery. Uncorrected distance, reading and intermediate vision was recorded pre and post-operatively.

Results:

Results: At the 1 months post operative visit, 97% of patients achieved uncorrected distance vision of 6/7.5 or better. This was found to be independent of axial length. 99% of patients achieved uncorrected near vision of N8 or better and 85% of patients could read N6. At 60cm, 85% could read N10 or better uncorrected.

Conclusions:

The asymmetric refractive intraocular lens is an effective & predictable intraocular lens for correcting distance and reading vision.
