Abstract Details

Purpose:

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in the visual outcomes, functionality and satisfaction in patients undergoing cataract surgery with presbyopia correction using enhanced depth of focus lenses or EDOF lenses in combination with multifocal lenses.

Setting:

This study was completed in a single private practice setting. All surgeries were performed by the author in a private surgery center.

Methods:

A retrospective study of 25 patients undergoing cataract surgery with presbyopia correction was preformed.  Eleven patients bilateral EDOF lenses placed and fourteen patients had combination EDOF and multifocal lenses.  Outcome measures included their bilateral distance, intermediate and near vision as well as spectacle independence  night time glare symptoms and overall satisfaction.

Results:

Fifty four percent of the bilateral EDOF group had uncorrected bilateral near visual acuity of 20/25 or better versus 93% in the combination group.  Seventy three percent of the bilateral EDOF group was free of glasses at distance versus 86% of the combination group. Eighteen percent of the bilateral EDOF group reported being free of  glasses at near versus 71% in the combination group.  Thirty six percent of the bilateral EDOF group reported being very satisfied with overall results versus 71% in the combination group.

Conclusions:

The conclusion was combining EDOF and multifocal lenses improves uncorrected intermediate and near vision, spectacle independence, and overall satisfaction.
