Purpose:
To assess Pseudophakic Dysphotopsia in relation to the Edge-design of implanted IOL
Setting:
Laxmi Eye Institute, Mumbai, India
Methods:
178 eyes of 136 patients were assessed. Patients were evaluated using a telephonic questionnaire between 3-6 months post-surgery. Responses were rated on a scale from 0-4 (none-severe symptoms). 3 edge designs were compared. RESULTS Mean scores for dysphotopsia and night-time glare were higher in Optiedge group than in Frosted Square edge group (p<0.5). Square edge had higher mean scores for all dysphotopsia symptoms as compared to Frosted Square edge but the results were not statistically significant. Regression analysis showed that Frosted Square edge affected dysphotopsia score by a factor of -0.485
Conclusions:
Frosted Square edge is superior to the Optiedge design in preventing dysphotopsia
Financial Disclosure:
No
