چکیده

OBJECTIVE To evaluate visual results after bilateral implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) with asymmetrical light distribution for the far and near focus. METHODS Twenty-nine patients underwent bilateral implantation of silicone-optic, foldable, diffractive IOLs in a prospective, 2-center, noncontrolled interventional study. Each patient had a distant-dominant multifocal IOL implanted in 1 eye and a near-dominant multifocal IOL implanted in the fellow eye. Refractive and visual results, including contrast acuity and binocular visual function, were determined. Patients were questioned for postoperative spectacle usage. RESULTS Visual and contrast acuity in the dominant focus of either lens was superior to that in the nondominant focus at 3.5 to 12 months postoperatively, i.e., performance was best at distance for the distant-dominant and at near for the near-dominant lens. In binocular viewing, the monocular maximal results added up to an improved binocular visual performance. Binocular visual function was within normal limits. Eighty percent of patients reported no use of spectacles at any time postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Bilateral implantation of asymmetrical diffractive IOLs is an effective alternative for restoring simultaneous distance and near vision with a potential for improved contrast sensitivity compared with conventional multifocal IOLs.

Comparison of diffractive and refractive multifocal intraocular lenses in presbyopia treatment.

Multifocal intraocular lenses (MFIOL) enable good near and far vision after cataract surgery. Excellent results with cataract patients encouraged ophthalmologists to implant MFIOL after clear lens extraction (CLE). There are two types of MFIOL: diffractive and refractive. In our prospective study we compared clinical outcomes after CLE and bilateral implantation of diffractive (Tecnis Multifoca...

Visual acuity and patient satisfaction at varied distances and lighting conditions after implantation of an aspheric diffractive multifocal one-piece intraocular lens

PURPOSE The aim of the study is to evaluate the visual acuity and patient satisfaction at varied distances under photopic and mesopic lighting conditions in patients bilaterally implanted with aspheric diffractive multifocal one-piece intraocular lenses. METHODS In this retrospective-prospective study, 16 patients with a mean age of 66.2±9.2 years (range: 50-81 years) who had undergone bilate...

The main goal of a presbyopic patient is to reduce dependence on optical aids and improve both distance and near vision as well as the range of clear vision. Several studies report good safety, predictability, and efficacy outcomes in the implantation with monofocal, toric and multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) after refractive lens exchange (RLE). Patients with hybrid spherical IOLs show goo...
