Abstract Details
Purpose:
To evaluate the visual performance after bilateral implantation of a diffractive aspheric trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a +2.17 diopter (D) (60 cm) intermediate and a +3.25 D (40 cm) near add power.
Setting:
Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe-University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Methods:
In this prospective single-arm study, twenty-seven patients (54 eyes) had bilateral implantation of the PanOptix IOL (AcrySof® IQ PanOptixTM, Alcon Research, Fort Worth, TX, USA) pre-enrollment. Exclusion criteria were previous ocular surgeries, corneal astigmatism of > 1.5 diopter, ocular pathologies or corneal abnormalities. Postoperative examination at 3 months included manifest refraction, monocular and binocular uncorrected (UCVA) and distance-corrected (DCVA) visual acuity in 4 m, 80 cm, 60 cm and 40 cm, slit-lamp examination, monocular and binocular defocus testing, binocular contrast sensitivity (CS) under photopic and mesopic conditions, and a questionnaire on subjective quality of vision, optical phenomena, and spectacle independence.
Results:
Mean spherical equivalent was -0.04 ± 0.321 D 3 months postoperatively. Binocular UCVA at distance, intermediate (80 cm, 60 cm) and near was 0.00 ± 0.094 logMAR, 0.09 ± 0.107 logMAR, 0.02 ± 0.112 logMAR, and 0.01 ± 0.087 logMAR respectively. Binocular defocus curve showed peaks with best VA at 0.00 D (-0.07 logMAR) and -2.00 D (-0.02 logMAR). The lowest mean VA between far (4 m) and near distance (40 cm) showed 0.07 logMAR at -1.00 D. Despite some optical phenomena, 81% of patients would choose the same IOL again, and would also recommend it to others.
Conclusions:
Visual performance of PanOptix trifocal IOL showed good visual acuity at far (4 m), intermediate (60 cm, 80 cm) and near (40 cm) distance; high patient satisfaction despite some optical phenomena; and high spectacle independence at 3 months postoperatively.
