Abstract Details

Purpose:

To review the visual results in patients implanted with a Crystalens AO in the dominant eye and a Crystalens HD in the non-dominant eye.

Setting:

private practice

Methods:

Following routine preoperative testing and informed consent, patients underwent cataract surgery. In the dominant eye, a Crystalens AO was implanted, while in the non-dominant eye, a Crystalens HD was implanted. Patients were followed out to 6 months and assessed for corrected and uncorrected vision.

Results:

25 patients were available at 6 month. Monocular results: All AO eyes had an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20, while all HD eyes had an uncorrected near visual acuity of J1 or better. All eyes had uncorrected intermediate visual acuity of 20/20 or better. Binocular results: All 25 patients had an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 or better, an intermediate uncorrected visual acuity of 20/16 or better and an uncorrected near visual acuity of J1 or better.

Conclusions:

The combination of a Crystalens AO in the dominant eye and a Crystalens HD in the non-dominant eye provides patients with excellent distance vision and depth of focus, as well as good intermediate and near vision. In all eyes implanted to date, the combination of the AO in the dominant eye and the HD in the non-dominant eye provided patients with the best range of near, intermediate and distance vision.
