Purpose:
To evaluate the visual outcome and quality of life (QoL) following cataract surgery with single-piece aspheric enVista MX60 intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Setting:
Eye Surgery Centre, National University Hospital, National University Hospital System, Singapore
Methods:
This is a retrospective case review of 10 patients who had undergone phacoemulsification cataract surgery with enVista MX60 (Bausch & Lomb Inc) aspheric IOL implantation between October to December 2011. All patients had visually significant cataract with corneal astigmatism of <2 DC and no pre-existing ocular disease. Visual outcomes were evaluated during a 1-month follow-up period. The 25-item quality of life questionnaire (National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25 [NEI VFQ-25]) was administered to evaluate the effect of phacoemusification cataract surgery with the MX60 IOL.
Results:
The study included 16 eyes (10 patients) ranging in age from 57 to 80 years (mean age of 65.4 years). Most of the patients in this study were female (7; 70%). The pre-operative uncorrected distance visual acuity (logMAR) ranged from 0.17 to 0.88 with a mean of 0.52 . The post-operative uncorrected distance visual acuity (logMAR) at 1 month ranged from 0.00 to 0.30 with a mean of 0.04. The difference in pre- and post-operative uncorrected distance visual acuity (logMAR) was significant (p<0.001). Pre-operatively, the QoL composite score was 86.4%. Post-operatively, the QoL composite score was 98.8%. There was a significant difference between the pre- and post-operative QoL composite score (p=0.03). No adverse events were noted during the 1-month post-operative period.
Conclusions:
The visual outcome improved significantly following implantation of the enVista MX60 aspheric IOL. There was a significant improvement in the quality of life of our patients following phacoemulsification cataract surgery. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
