Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate clinical outcomes with rotationally asymmetric, reduced addition multifocal intraocular lens designs (Lentis® Comfort MF15/toric and MF20/toric) implanted bilaterally in a cohort of patients undergoing cataract or lens replacement surgery.

Setting:

Optegra Yorkshire Eye Hospital, Bradford, UK

Methods:

Observational case series. The series comprised 169 binocularly treated patients. The mean age of patients was 62±8 years (range 41 to 85 years). Range of pre-operative spherical equivalent was from +11.38D to -14.25D with 8.0% myopia over -6.00D and 7.4% hyperopia over +5.00D. Follow-up took place 61.6±53.2 days after surgery. Implantations were consecutive and performed by one surgeon at a single site. Exclusions were made for amblyopia. Post-operative binocular uncorrected distance (UDVA) was recorded for 169 patients and binocular uncorrected near (UNVA) vision was recorded for 153 patients, along with patient satisfaction.

Results:

Post-operatively, the mean monocular UDVA was 0.01±0.12 logMAR. Post-operatively 100% of patients achieved binocular UDVA 6/12 or better and 88% of patients achieved binocular UDVA 6/6 or better. 100% of patients achieved binocular N10 or better UNVA, 98% of patients achieved binocular N8 and 89% of patients achieved binocular N6 or better. 89% of patients achieved a combination of at least binocular unaided 6/7.5 and N6. Mean post-operative spherical equivalent refraction was -0.21±0.58D. Patient reported satisfaction was high.

Conclusions:

The MF15/toric and MF20/toric lenses proved to be an effective way to enhance both distance and near vision following small incision phacoemulsification surgery in this cohort of patients.
