Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate visual outcomes in patients who have undergone bilateral implantation of a polyfocal, bioanalogic intraocular lens.

Setting:

Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital Most, Czech Republic

Methods:

Three months after surgery, the distance and near visual acuities; spherical equivalent; residual refractive astigmatism were evaluated. A patient satisfaction and visual phenomena questionnaire was administered to all patients.

Results:

14 patients (15 eyes) with an average age of 71,1 ± 8,7 years (range: 53 to 86 years) underwent mono or bilateral implantation of a polyfocal bioanalogic IOL (WIOL-CF, Medicem). Three months after surgery, the mean monocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (logMAR) was 0.11 ± 0.07 at 4 m, and J 3-4 at 40 cm

Conclusions:

Implantation of polyfocal, bioanalogic, large optics IOL in patients with cataract was a simple, safe, and accurate option. Extended depth of focus design and biocompatible material provides surgeons with a feasible option for meeting patient expectations of an enhanced lifestyle resulting from long term decreased spectacle dependence.
