Abstract Details
Purpose:
To evaluate and compare the visual outcomes of two different monofocal IOLs (TECNIS® Eyhance vs. TECNIS® 1-piece).
Setting:
Eye Clinic, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Health Sciences, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy.
Methods:
Prospective, single center, single-blind, randomized controlled clinical study. The study included patients undergoing phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. Patients were consecutively randomized by block randomization and assigned in a 1:1 allocation ratio to two study arms to bilaterally receive Tecnis® Eyhance (model ICB00) or Tecnis®1-piece (model ZCB00) respectively. The primary endpoint was to compare groups for distance corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) 3 months after second eye implant. The secondary endpoints were to analyze and compare uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) at the same time point.
Results:
A total of 60 patients (30 for each group) were enrolled. At 3 months follow-up, statically significant differences for DCIVA and UIVA were found between the two groups. UDVA and BCDVA were not statistically significantly different (p>0.05). None of the patients complained of dysphotopsia. Spectacles independence was reported by all patients in several daily activities.
Conclusions:
TECNIS® Eyhance (ICB00) provided better results in intermediate visual outcomes without increased risk of unwanted photic phenomena. Similar outcomes between the two groups were found for distance visual acuity.
