Abstract Details

Purpose:

To compare visual performance and high order wavefront analysis of patients with Acrysof IQ Restor toric multifocal vs Alcon SN60T toric monofocal intraocular (IOL) lens implants.

Setting:

Hospital de Egas Moniz – Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Ocidental

Methods:

This prospective clinical study included 10 eyes implanted after phacoemulsification with a toric multifocal IOL and 10 eyes implanted with a toric monofocal IOL after cataract surgery. Higher order aberrations and visual performance were measured 3-months after surgery using a OPD-scanning device and were compared between the two groups of patients.

Results:

There was no statistically significant difference between uncorrected distance visual acuities, spherical equivalent, residual astigmatism and aberrometry analysis in the two groups (p >0,05).

Conclusions:

Both studied intraocular lenses promoted good distance postoperative visual acuity with no statistically significant difference in higher-order aberrations visual acuity and residual astigmatism. Additional studies with larger samples are needed to confirm these results. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
