Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the safety and visual performance of a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) and a extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL.

Setting:

Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital and BalGunNun Eye Clinic

Methods:

Sixty patients were enrolled for bilateral surgery. Patients were implanted bilateral +3.25 Tecnis® ZLB00 multifocal IOL (group A), bilateral Tecnis® Symfony EDOF IOL (group B) or mix-and-match implantation with Symfony in a dominant eye and +3.25 Tecnis® in a non-dominant eye (group C). Twenty patients in each group were retrospectively analyzed by the bilateral distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity (VA) measured at 3 months postoperatively. Visual acuity was converted to LogMAR for statistical analysis.

Results:

The mean distant VA of the group A, B, and C was 0.041 ± 0.005, 0.050 ± 0.015, and 0.033 ± 0.004, respectively, which was not statistically significant. Mean intermediate VA was 0.155 ± 0.006, 0.110 ± 0.009, and 0.110 ± 0.007, respectively, which was not statistically significant, but group A showed lower VA than the other two groups. The mean near VA was 0.049 ± 0.003, 0.244 ± 0.013, and 0.130 ± 0.013, respectively, which showed significant difference among groups (p : A-B < 0.001, A-C = 0.009, B-C = 0.003).

Conclusions:

While there was no significant difference among the groups in distance and intermediate bilateral VA, bilateral near VA was obtained in order of group A, C, and B. In patients who require near and precise visual acuity, bilateral multifocal IOLs would be recommended and in patients who require both near and intermediate VA, mix-and match implantation would be a better choice.
