Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the visual outcomes of subjects implanted with a new non-diffractive extended vision intraocular lens (Alcon DFT015) at six sites in Spain.

Setting:

Multicenter clinical trial sponsored by Alcon

Methods:

Six surgeons in Spain bilaterally implanted 51 subjects with the DFT015 IOL and 37 with the monofocal control IOL (SN60WF) as part of a prospective, randomized, subject and assessor masked trial. At 6 months after the second eye implant, the binocular defocus curve, binocular distance corrected visual acuities (VAs) at distance (CDVA, 4 m), intermediate (DIVA, 66 cm) and near (DNVA, 40 cm), and visual disturbances of halos, glare and starbursts (QoV, McAlinden) were assessed.

Results:

The DFT015 IOL binocular defocus curve demonstrated >0.5 D of extension over the SN60WF IOL at 0.2 logMAR.  Binocular CDVA was better than 0.0 logMAR for both groups.  At intermediate and near, the improvement in binocular distance corrected VA for the DFT015 IOL over the SN60WF IOL was ≥ 0.1 logMAR.  In the DFT015 IOL group, 69% or more subjects were not at all bothered by halos, starbursts and glare; while 57% or more subjects were not at all bothered by these visual disturbances with the SN60WF IOL.

Conclusions:

Compared with the SN60WF IOL, bilateral implantation of this new non-diffractive extended vision IOL provided subjects with an extended range of vision from distance to near, while maintaining the same quality of vision and visual disturbance profile as an aspheric monofocal.
