Abstract Details

Purpose:

The aim of the study is to present the preliminary results of the implantation of monofocal intraocular lenses with extended depth of focus (TECNIS Eyhance IOL, J&J, USA) in cataract patients

Setting:

1 Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, Poland 2 Department of Ophthalmology, Professor K. Gibinski University Clinical Center of the Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland

Methods:

As part of the project, 20 TECNIS Eyhance IOL lenses were implanted in 20 eyes during cataract phacoemulsification to assess the effectiveness of the lens and evaluate the technique of implantation. The power of implanted lenses was calculated by distance ememtropy. Patients were checked prior to surgery and in the follow-up for: Catquest-9SF 2011 questionnaire to assess vision-related quality of life, visual acuity measurements - UDVA, BCDVA, UIVA (66cm), UCNVA and refraction using maximum plus technique

Results:

The IOL power was from 19.0 to 25.5 D. The best UCDVA, UCIVA was significantly better after the procedure (p,0.05). The average refractive error before surgery was -1.50 D +/- 2.25 D, whereas after surgery -0.25 D +/- 0.50 D. No adverse effects or decentration of the IOL were observed. The results of surveys - Catquest-9SF indicate a significant improvement in the performance of daily activities connected to vision by patients after implantation of the monofocal IOL with extended depth of focus

Conclusions:

The innovative monofocal IOL with extended depth of focus -TECNIS Eyhance provides patients very good far-distance vision and improved vision at intermediate distances. Improvement of daily activity related to vision was also much better after binocular implantation.
