Abstract
In recent years, visual expectations of patients with cataract have changed significantly. While becoming more active in later periods of life, an increasing number of patients seek spectacle independence at [...]
PURPOSE: To assess visual and refractive outcomes and patient satisfaction after bilateral sequential implantation of a primary capsular bag intraocular lens (IOL) and a supplementary sulcus-fixated trifocal IOL. METHODS: All patients had bilateral implantation of a mono-focal IOL in the capsular bag followed by a supplementary trifocal IOL (Sulcoflex 703F, Rayner Intraocular Lenses Limited) in the sulcus. Patients were evaluated for monocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, binocular uncorrected and corrected distance, intermediate and near visual acuity, photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity, defocus curves, visual symptoms, spectacle independence, and patient satisfaction at 1 and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS: Forty eyes of 20 patients were evaluated. Six months after surgery, mean binocular uncorrected visual acuity was ?0.07 ± 0.06 logMAR for distance vision (range: ?0.2 to 0.0 logMAR), ?0.03 ± 0.17 logMAR for intermediate vision (range: ?0.1 to 0.6 logMAR), and 0.09 ± 0.08 logMAR for near vision (range: ?0.1 to 0.2 logMAR). All patients reported full spectacle independence after 6 months and no adverse events were reported for any of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: Sequential implantation of a monofocal IOL in the capsular bag and a supplementary trifocal IOL in the sulcus provides a safe and effective choice for patients who desire spectacle independence after cataract surgery.
