Abstract Details

Purpose:

To determine which is the best method of presbyopia correction resulting in better intermediate vision.

Setting:

Clinica Baviera Albacete. Instituto Oftalmológico Europeo

Methods:

All patients undergoing presbyopia correction in our institution were included in the study. Patients were corrected with one of these methods: Acri.LISA 366, ReStor +3, Combination of ReStor +3 in one eye and ReStor +2,5 in the other, laser monovision, or Finevision Trifocal. Intermediate vision was measured with a specially designed logarithmic chart at 65 cm (intermediate-near) and 95 cm (intermediate-far) at 6 months postoperatively.

Results:

The best logMAR vision at intermediate near (65 cm) was achieved by the Finevision Trifocal (mean 0,133 SD 0,08) followed by laser monovision (mean 0,143 SD 0,114), however, the best logMAR vision at intermediate far (95 cm) was achieved by laser monovision (mean 0,112 SD 0,077) followed by Finevision Trifocal (mean 0,12 SD 0,07) and Combination of ReStor +3 and +2,5 (mean 0,264 SD 0,216).

Conclusions:

Both, the implantation of Fine Vision Trifocal and laser correction with monovision, provide excellent results in near and far intermediate vision.
