Visual Outcomes at 12 Months in Patients Following Implantation of a Diffractive Multifocal Intraocular Lens.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this study was to assess distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and patient satisfaction outcomes of a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).

Methods

This multicenter, prospective clinical study was conducted at seven study sites in Turkey. Patients who underwent bilateral cataract removal and implantation of a diffractive, acrylic, hydrophobic, multifocal IOL (Acriva UD Reviol MFB 625; VSY Biotechnology, Istanbul, Turkey) were included. The uncorrected and best corrected distance visual acuities (UCDVA and BCDVA), uncorrected and best corrected intermediate visual acuities (UCIVA and BCIVA), and uncorrected and best corrected near visual acuities (UCNVA and BCNVA) were measured preoperatively and at postoperative 1, 6, and 12 months. Distance and near visual acuity scores (VAS) contrast sensitivities were measured at these time points. Quality of life was evaluated by visual function-14 (VF-14) questionnaire.

Results

Two hundred eyes of 100 patients were included. Monocular and binocular visual acuities at all distances showed improvement at postoperative 12 months compared to preoperative measurements (P < 0.001). Monocular and binocular UCIVA and binocular BCIVA at postoperative 12 months were significantly improved compared to measurements at 1 month (P < 0.001). Binocular contrast sensitivity at distance showed significant improvement from postoperative 1 month to postoperative 12 months, except for 3 cycles per degree (cpd; without glare) and 18 cpd (with glare). VAS improved from 75.96 at postoperative 1 month to 76.85 at postoperative 12 months. VF-14 score was 98.2 ± 4.6.

Conclusion

The Acriva UD Reviol MFB 625 appears to provide a good level of distance and near visual acuity, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. Further studies with longer follow-up will provide valuable insight into the long-term stability of these visual outcomes.

Project description:PurposeTo assess refractive and visual outcomes post-cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of a bi-aspheric diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL).MethodsA total of 24 patients who underwent bilateral implantation with the Asqelio Trifocal IOL TFLIO130C were evaluated at the 6 months postoperative mark. Key outcome measures included refractive error, photopic monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA), uncorrected and corrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA, CDIVA) at 60 cm, and uncorrected and corrected near visual acuity (UNVA, CDNVA) at 40 cm. Additionally, monocular and binocular CDNVA were assessed under mesopic conditions. Monocular and binocular defocus curves, and binocular contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions, with and without glare, were measured. Catquest-9SF and visual symptoms questionnaires were also administered.ResultsPostoperative average values of binocular logMAR photopic CDVA, photopic CDIVA, photopic CDNVA and mesopic CDNVA were -0.01±0.06, 0.03±0.09, 0.02±0.05 and 0.19±0.13, respectively. About 100% of patients showed cumulative CDVA and CDNVA ≥20/25, and CDIVA ≥20/32. The average absolute depth-of-focus was about 4.50D. The average postoperative spherical equivalent was 0.05±0.30D and 100% and 93.75% eyes were within ±1.00D and ±0.50D, respectively. Contrast sensitivity was either within or above normal levels under both photopic and mesopic conditions, both with and without glare, except for 12 cpd under mesopic conditions with glare where the mean falls just below the normal range. Questionnaires revealed that 87.5% of patients were either satisfied or very satisfied with their vision after the surgery, and higher percentages for no difficulty in performing different activities, ranging from 70.83% to 95.83%, were reported.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that the bi-aspheric diffractive trifocal IOL yields very good visual performance across distances, fostering high satisfaction levels and minimal difficulties in daily activities.

Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term visual outcomes and factors affecting visual results in children undergoing secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation following primary congenital cataract extraction.Children with congenital cataracts who underwent secondary IOL implantation for aphakia at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2007, were retrospectively reviewed. One eye was randomly selected in children with bilateral cataracts. Laterality, type of cataract (total or partial opacity), sex, age at primary and secondary surgeries, visual axis opacity (VAO), compliance with amblyopia therapy, postoperative ocular complications, refractive error, ocular alignment, and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at last follow-up were recorded; potential factors that might have affected the visual results were evaluated.Seventy-six bilateral and 34 unilateral congenital cataract cases were analyzed; the mean ages of the children were 12.70±5.06 and 12.50±2.71 years at final follow-up, the mean follow-up periods from IOL implantation were 94.93±24.22 and 109.09±18.89 months, and the mean BCVA (Log MAR) values were 0.51±0.37 and 1.05±0.46, respectively. Final BCVA after secondary IOL implantation was significantly associated with laterality, type of cataract, age at primary cataract extraction, compliance with amblyopia therapy, and refractive correction after surgery. No significant associations were found between BCVA and sex, age at secondary IOL implantation, VAO, or other ocular complications. The most common ocular complications were VAO and elevated intraocular pressure after surgery. There were no other complications, with the exception of one eye with IOL dislocation.The results indicate that the important determinants of long-term visual outcomes in children with congenital cataracts undergoing secondary IOL implantation are laterality, cataract type, age at initial cataract extraction, compliance with amblyopia therapy, and refractive error.
