Abstract Details

Purpose:

The aim of the current study is to report the visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after cataract surgery with implantation of a new presbyopic intraocular lens (IOL) with Continuous Transitional Focus optic.

Setting:

Vissum Innovation, Alicante and Miguel Hernández University, Elche, Alicante, Spain

Methods:

This study included 15 eyes of 8 patients (mean age 65±11 years) that were implanted with a presbyopic IOL with Continuous Transitional Focus optic, the Precizon presbyopic NVA IOL (ophtec). Distance, intermediate and near visual acuities, defocus curve, contrast sensitivity, patient satisfaction and quality of vision were measured. The follow-up was 3 months.

Results:

The uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) improved significantly with surgery from 0.54±0.32 to 0.14±0.11 (p<0.01) LogMAR. The postoperative distance corrected near (DCNVA) and uncorrected intermediate (UIVA) visual acuities were 0.20±0.11 and 0.25±0.10 LogMAR, respectively. Mean defocus curve showed a visual acuity of 0.22 LogMAR or better for defocus levels between +0.50 to -2.50D. Mean photopic contrast sensitivity with and without glare were similar to the normal values for the same age sample studied. 62.5% of patients were very or quite satisfied with the surgery. 62.5% of patients never refer halos and 25% occasionally refer halos.

Conclusions:

The Precizon presbyopic NVA IOL restores the visual function after cataract surgery with a good patient satisfaction.
