Metric-Based Visual Acuity and Defocus Curve Simulation of Two Multifocal Intraocular Lens Models.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To predict clinical defocus curve performance of the PanOptix intraocular lens (IOL) model TFNT00, a population-based image quality metric was applied to a pseudophakic eye model.

Methods

Visual acuity (VA) was simulated using a 2-surface reduced eye model. For each virtual eye, the derived corneal surface was combined with scaled IOL surface. Corneal power and aberration, anterior chamber depth, and pupil size were iterated using a Monte-Carlo approach. Image quality of the IOLs was assessed using the total aberration map to compute the amplitude point spread function. A diffraction-normalized light-in-the-bucket metric was calculated for each virtual eye for defocuses from -3.5 D to +1.0 D (step size 0.25 D) and transformed to VAs and defocus curves. Simulated VA for the ReSTOR +3.0 D lens was used to generate a calibration function by linear regression correlation of simulated data with clinical VA data. Simulated TFNT00 VA was then validated by comparing defocus curves to clinical TFNT00 data.

Results

From -3.5 D to +1.0 D, the simulated defocus curve was generally consistent with the defocus curve from the TFNT00 clinical trial. The mean absolute difference was 0.022 logMAR (~1 letter) for simulated VA versus clinical trial VA.

Conclusion

IOL image quality can be assessed using a population-based virtual eye model to simulate VA and predict clinical performance. Computational modeling and simulation can be applied to future IOL development before clinical trials are conducted.

Project description:ImportanceAlthough intraocular lenses (IOLs) are often implanted in children, little is known whether primary IOL implantation or aphakia and contact lens correction results in better long-term visual outcomes after unilateral cataract surgery during infancy.ObjectiveTo compare long-term visual outcomes with contact lens vs IOL correction following unilateral cataract surgery during infancy.Design, setting, and participantsThis multicenter randomized clinical trial enrolled 114 infants with a unilateral congenital cataract who underwent cataract surgery with or without primary IOL implantation between 1 and 6 months of age. Data on long-term visual outcomes were collected when the children were age 10.5 years (July 14, 2015, to July 12, 2019) and analyzed from March 30 through August 6, 2019.InterventionsIntraocular lens implantation at the time of cataract surgery.Main outcomes and measuresBest-corrected visual acuity using the electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (E-ETDRS) testing protocol. Analysis was performed on an intention-to-treat basis.ResultsBest-corrected visual acuity was measured at age 10.5 years for 110 of the 114 patients (96%) enrolled as infants. The participants included 58 girls (53%) and 52 boys (47%). Overall, 27 of the children (25%) had good (logMAR 0.30 [Snellen equivalent, 20/40] or better) visual acuity in the treated eye (12 [22%] in the IOL group and 15 [27%] in the aphakia group), but 50 children (44%) had a visual acuity of logMAR 1.00 (Snellen equivalent, 20/200) or worse (25 [44%] in the IOL group and 25 [44%] in the aphakia group). The median logMAR acuity in the treated eye was similar in children randomized to receive an IOL at the time of cataract extraction (0.89; interquartile range [IQR], 0.33-1.43 [Snellen equivalent, 20/159]) and those who remained aphakic (0.86; IQR, 0.30-1.46 [Snellen equivalent, 20/145]) (IQR, 0.30-1.46; P?=?.82). Although the overall difference in median visual acuity between the 2 groups was small, the estimate was imprecise (99% CI for the difference in medians was -0.54 to 0.47).Conclusions and relevanceAs in previous phases of the study, visual acuity outcomes were highly variable with only 27 children (25%) achieving excellent visual acuity in their treated eye and 50 children (44%) having poor vision in the treated eye. Implanting an IOL at the time of cataract extraction was neither beneficial nor detrimental to the visual outcome.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00212134.

Project description:PurposeTo determine the cost effectiveness of an adjunctive screening OCT during the preoperative evaluation of a patient considering cataract surgery with a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.DesignCost-effectiveness analysis.ParticipantsA 67-year-old man with 20/60 vision undergoing evaluation for first-eye cataract surgery.MethodsThe cost-effectiveness analysis of the reference patient undergoing a preoperative cataract examination with and without a screening OCT was performed, evaluating for vitreoretinal diseases including an epiretinal membrane, age-related macular degeneration, vitreomacular traction, and cystoid macular edema. It was assumed that patients with macular pathologies detected before surgery would receive a monofocal IOL and be referred to a retina specialist for evaluation and management. The Medicare reimbursable cost of an OCT was $41.81. All costs and benefits were adjusted for inflation to 2019 United States dollars and discounted 3% per annum over a 16-year time horizon. Probability sensitivity analyses and 1-way deterministic sensitivity analyses were performed to assess for uncertainty.Main outcome measuresIncremental cost-effectiveness ratio and incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) measured in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs).ResultsApproximately 20.5% of patients undergoing cataract surgery may have macular pathologies, of which 11% may not be detected on the initial clinical examination. In the base case, an adjunctive preoperative OCT was cost effective from a third-party payer and societal perspective in the United States. In the probability sensitivity analyses, the ICURs were within the societal willingness-to-pay threshold of $50 000/QALY in approximately 64.4% of the clinical scenarios.ConclusionsA preoperative screening OCT during the evaluation of a patient considering a multifocal IOL added to the costs of the cataract surgery, but the OCT increased the detection of macular pathologies and improved the QALYs over time. An adjunctive screening OCT can be cost effective from a third-party payer and societal perspective.
