Abstract Details

Purpose:

To assess satisfaction, independence from wearing glasses and patients visual acuity after cataract surgery with primary implantation of Oculentis Mplus and AcuNex VarioMax multifocal lenses.

Setting:

Ophthalmological Center For Children And Adults Optomed, Chorzow, Poland

Methods:

A retrospective study was conducted in 102 eyes into whom Oculentis Mplus MF20, MF30, MT30 and AcuNex VarioMax spherical and toric multifocal lenses were implanted. 34 women and 25 men aged from 58 to 75 years (mean 62) were operated.Among keratoconus patients (8 eyes) toric intraocular lenses were implanted. Patients were qualified to toric intraocular lenses implantation in case of with-the-rule astigmatism higher than 0.5 D, and against-the-rule astigmatism higher than 0.25D. Visual acuity before and after surgery were assessed. A survey was conducted among patients regarding independence of functioning without glasses and occurrence of undesirable optical phenomena.

Results:

95.1% of patients declared independence from wearing glasses. 4.9% of patients declared necessity of using glasses for reading. 21.4% of patients reported, without being asked any targeted question, streaking down, especially at night, from light sources. However, that phenomenon did not impede driving a car in any patient. The best uncorrected visual acuity (BUCVA) ranged from 0.8 to 1.0; uncorrected visual acuity for near vision with both eyes was D 0.5. Keratoconic patients with BUCVA ranged between 0.4 and 0.8, and uncorrected visual acuity for near vision was D1.0-D0.5

Conclusions:

Oculentis lenses allow to get satisfactory postoperative, uncorrected for near and distance visual acuity. A high independence from wearing glasses was obtained.  Occurring optical phenomena did not make it impossible to function on everyday basis, including driving vehicles.
