Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate whether the indication (CAT or RLE) for implantation of a multifocal IOL affects visual outcomes, refraction and patient satisfaction.

Setting:

Private refractive surgery clinic.

Methods:

Retrospective comparative cohort study. All patients consecutively implanted with a diffractive hydrophilic multifocal IOL, the Fullrange SeeLens MF (Hanita lenses, Israel), were included. The study included 99 cataractous eyes of 99 patients (58 F) with a mean age of 65,7 ± 7,5 years, and 183 eyes of 183 patients (93 F) requesting RLE with a mean age of 54,5 ± 5,4 years. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and near visual acuity (NVA), postoperative refraction and patient satisfaction were recorded at the 3-month follow-up visit

Results:

Both patients groups (CAT versus RLE) achieved refractive outcomes close to emmetropia (mean SE -0,07D ± 0,37 versus 0,02D ± 0,43; P= 0,124). No significant differences were noted in uncorrected distance (-0,01 ± 0,08 LogMar versus -0,01 ±0,11 LogMar; P=0,729) and uncorrected near visual acuity (0,02 ±0,08 LogMar versus 0,01 ±0,10 LogMar; P=0,812) as well as patient satisfaction (84% were happy or very happy in both groups; P = 0,791) between the two groups. No adverse effects were recorded.

Conclusions:

Cataract or refractive lens exchange results in comparable outcomes in terms of refraction, visual acuity, and patient satisfaction. The fullrange SeeLens MF results in good corrected and uncorrected visual acuity in both these patient groups.
