Abstract

PURPOSE:To evaluate postoperative visual performance and patient-reported outcomes following combined implantation of an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) and a trifocal IOL.
METHODS:The study enrolled consecutive patients undergoing refractive lens extraction or cataract surgery with combined implantation of an EDOF IOL (dominant eye) and a trifocal IOL in the nondominant eye. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, uncorrected intermediate (UIVA) and near (UNVA) visual acuities, defocus curves, and subjective questionnaires were evaluated 1 month postoperatively.
RESULTS:The study enrolled 100 consecutive patients (200 eyes). The postoperative mean binocular UDVA, UIVA, and UNVA were −0.08 ± 0.07, 0.13 ± 0.12, and 0.17 ± 0.11 logMAR, respectively. The percentage of eyes within ±0.50 and ±1.00 diopters of the refractive target was 65% and 96% with EDOF IOLs, and 76% and 99% with trifocal IOLs, respectively. Of all patients, 91% were satisfied or more than satisfied with the procedure, and 87% of patients were spectacle free for near vision. On a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very), mean scores of 0.52 ± 0.83, 0.71 ± 0.83, and 0.34 ± 0.73 were reported for glare, halos, and starbursts. The mean daytime and nighttime Quality of Vision scores were 9.13 ± 0.91 and 7.96 ± 1.57, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:The combination of an EDOF IOL and a trifocal IOL provides good unaided visual acuity for distance and near. This IOL combination provides high postoperative satisfaction and functional vision, but some early visual side effects were reported.
