Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate our initial experience with a new TECNIS Eyhance ICB00 monofocal IOL with enhanced features for intermediate vision.

Setting:

Private Refractive Surgery Theater (Optical Express)

Methods:

Outcomes of 138 eyes from 71 presbyopic patients who underwent cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange with bilateral implantation of the TECNIS Eyhance ICB00 were reviewed. The age range of patients was 48 to 81 years. Postoperative clinical safety and efficacy outcomes up to 12 months following implant were analysed.

Results:

The mean binocular distance visual acuity was -0.05 logMAR (range -0.18 to +0.22 logMAR) and the mean binocular intermediate visual acuity was 0.45 logMAR (range 0.22 to 0.70 logMAR). Mean gain in visual acuity lines was 8 for UCDVA and 4 for UCIVA. Less than 5% of patients experienced severe difficulty with glare, halo or starburst. Only 1 patient reported significant difficulties with tasks requiring intermediate vision (e.g. working on computer, cooking, fixing things around house). No intraoperative or early postoperative adverse events related to the IOL have been noted.

Conclusions:

Initial outcomes suggest this new monofocal IOL is a good alternative for patients with ocular pathology where a true multifocal or an extended depth of focus IOL might be contraindicated. Thus far, the IOL showed low incidence of visual phenomena within the first year.
