Abstract Details

Purpose:

.To evaluate the visual quality after bilateral implantation of a new additive trifocal sulcus IOL in pseudophakic patients.

Setting:

nordBLICK Augenklinik Bellevue, Kiel, Germany

Methods:

.The prospective study includes the first results after bilateral implantation of the new Sulcoflex trifocal in 10 pseudophakic eyes of 5 patients. All follow-up examinations were performed up to one month after surgery. Subjective refraction, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, intermediate and near visual acuity were assessed.

Results:

The patients achieved postoperative a spherical equivalent of -0.30 ± 0.21 Dpt. The mean UCDVA is binocular 1,08 ± 0,13. The mean UCNVA is binocular 0,8±0,0 and UCINVA 0,92± 0,1. With correction binocular CDVA was 1,2± 0,13, DCIVA  0,96 ± 0,08 and DCNVA 0.84 ± 0.08. The defocus curve shows a good and stable rsults for uncorrected near and intermediate visual acuity. All patients achieved almost eyeglass independence in all visual ranges with very high patient satisfaction. No intra- or postoperative complications occurred.

Conclusions:

The good functional results one month postoperatively show that Sulcoflex Trifocal is an good  option to treat pseudophakic patients with a trifocal optic to improve spectacle independence. Long-term investigations have to follow.  As the first additive trifocal IOL, Sulcoflex Trifocal is also a flexible, reversible alternative to trifocal intracapsular trifocal lenses.
