Abstract Details

Purpose:

We have evaluated the subjective perception of halo effects in a patient with trifocal lens replacement for a monofocal lens in patient´s dominant eye.

Setting:

Eye Clinic DuoVize, Prague, Czech Republic

Methods:

64 years old patient has been at first treated for senile cataract of both eyes with implantation of trifocal lens AcrySof IQ PanOptix. Due to the persistent disturbing halo effects half a year after the operation the trifocal lens from the dominant eye was explanted and replaced by a monofocal lens AcrySof IQ.

Results:

We have induced hybrid monovision and amount of halo effects has significantly reduced and does not limit the patient in his active life anymore. The patient is very satisfied now.

Conclusions:

Neuroadaptation to trifocal lenses may not always be successful. In this case it is possible to consider an exchange of trifocal lens from dominant eye for a monofocal lens.
