Cataract surgery with new monofocal intraocular lens enhanced for intermediate vision and standard monofocal intraocular lens for retinal disorder. Int Ophthalmol 2024; 44:104. [PMID: 38378994 DOI: 10.1007/s10792-024-03047-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the difference in the initial surgical results between a new monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with enhanced intermediate vision and the standard monofocal IOL in patients with retinal disease. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with retinal disease who underwent cataract surgery due to accompanying cataracts. Types of retinal diseases were investigated and best-corrected distant visual acuity, distant uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), intermediate UCVA, near UCVA, and spherical equivalent were recorded at each visit. The surgical results were investigated at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after surgery. RESULTS Seventeen eyes treated with a new monofocal IOL enhanced for intermediate vision (ICB00 group) and 18 eyes treated with the standard monofocal IOL (AAB00 group) were included in this study. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics, including the type of underlying retinal disease, between the groups. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of distant, intermediate, or near UCVA at day 1 and week 1 after surgery. However, at 1 month after surgery, the ICB00 group showed a significantly better intermediate vision improvement than the AAB00 group (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Even in patients with cataract accompanied by retinal disease, the use of the ICB00 IOL showed significant improvement in intermediate vision compared to the use of the AAB00 (standard monofocal) IOL. The ICB00 IOL might be a good option for patients with cataract and retinal disease in the era of increased intermediate vision needs in daily life.

Clinical Evaluation of a Modified Light Transmission Short-Wavelength Filtering Intraocular Lens Compared to a Colorless Control. Ophthalmol Ther 2023; 12:1775-1785. [PMID: 37071325 PMCID: PMC10164208 DOI: 10.1007/s40123-023-00709-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/19/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a violet-light filtering intraocular lens (IOL) compared to a colorless IOL control. METHODS This was a prospective, bilateral, randomized, comparative, patient/evaluator-masked multi-center clinical trial at 12 sites in the USA. Patients underwent standard small-incision phacoemulsification cataract extraction. Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and color vision were tested 12 months postoperatively. Patient satisfaction and vision-related quality of life were evaluated based on directed patient responses obtained from a binocular subjective questionnaire. RESULTS A total of 250 subjects were bilaterally implanted with the violet-light filtering TECNIS monofocal ZV9003 (n = 126) and colorless TECNIS monofocal ZA9003 (n = 124). Mean uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 0.123 LogMAR for ZV9003 and 0.116 LogMAR for the ZA9003 group. Mean corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 0.00 LogMAR for both groups. No significant difference was found between the groups for 22/25 questionnaire categories, including color perception. A significant difference was found in favor of the ZV9003 group for day driving, night driving, and frustration with vision. Contrast sensitivity mean difference was < 0.05 log units across all lighting conditions and spatial frequencies. CONCLUSION No difference was found between groups for visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, color testing, and adverse events as well as with the majority of optical/visual symptoms. A statistical difference was noted in driving and frustration with eyesight that may be related to benefits of using a violet-light filtering chromophore. Overall, the violet-light filtering ZV9003 showed excellent visual acuity and contrast sensitivity results with a low incidence of optical/visual symptoms.

Comparison of dynamic defocus curve on cataract patients implanting extended depth of focus and monofocal intraocular lens. EYE AND VISION (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2023; 10:5. [PMID: 36721199 PMCID: PMC9890684 DOI: 10.1186/s40662-022-00323-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to compare the dynamic defocus curve on patients post-implantation of the extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) and monofocal intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS A total of 62 age-related cataract patients receiving phacoemulsification with implantation of TECNIS Symfony (ZXR00) or monofocal IOLs were enrolled. The binocular static and dynamic defocus curves with corrected distance visual acuity were evaluated at one month postoperatively. RESULTS The ZXR00 group achieved significantly better intermediate (P = 0.044) and near (P = 0.017) visual acuity (VA) than the monofocal group. Two groups had similar uncorrected and corrected distance VA (P > 0.05, respectively). The dynamic defocus curve revealed a smoother decline from 0.0 D to - 2.0 D in the ZXR00 group. Defocused dynamic VA in the ZXR00 group was significantly better (P < 0.05) except at 0.0 D (P = 0.724) and - 0.5 D (P = 0.176). The area under the curve (P = 0.002) and corrected dynamic vision accommodation (P = 0.001) derived from the dynamic defocus curves were better in the ZXR00 group. A positive correlation was observed between defocused dynamic and static VA in both groups (P < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that defocused static VA and corrected dynamic vision accommodation were significant influential factors for the defocused dynamic VA from - 1.0 D to - 3.0 D (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The EDOF IOL provided similar distance vision, better intermediate and near vision, and a better overall dynamic defocus curve than the monofocal IOL. The dynamic defocus curve may be comprehensively applied to evaluate the all-distance dynamic visual performance post-cataract surgery.

Abstract
CLINICAL RELEVANCE It is important to distinguish between visual acuity, optical quality and quality of vision when outcomes obtained with intraocular lenses are evaluated. These parameters, that includeobjective and subjective tests, should be assessed to obtain results that are not biased. BACKGROUND To assess the difference in visual and optical quality between two monofocal intraocular lens models. METHODS : This was a prospective, parallel and randomised clinical study conducted at Miranza IOA, a private clinic in Madrid, Spain. Sixty patients were implanted bilaterally, 30 per group, with two aspheric IOLs with induced spherical aberration of -0.27 μm for Group A and -0.20 μm for Group B. Visual outcomes obtained at 1 and 3 months after surgery included both uncorrected (UCVA) and corrected monocular distance visual acuity (DCVA), objective scattering index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF) cut-off, Strehl Ratio (SR), contrast sensitivity defocus curve (CSDC), intraocular lens spherical aberration (SA), and longitudinal chromatic aberration of the eye. Activity limitations in daily life were assessed using CatQuest-9SF questionnaire. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences for DCVA (0.04 LogMAR; p = .008) and SR (0.03; p = .003) between groups. Outcomes related to CSDC showed statistically significant differences for vergences between -0.50 D and +1.00 D (3 mm pupil) and for vergences of 0.00 D and +0.50 D (4.5 mm pupil) between groups. Overall, Group A showed better results regarding visual and optical quality, including a lower longitudinal chromatic aberration result in comparison to Group B. Patient satisfaction evaluated with CatQuest-9SF showed that Group A achieved better outcomes, although the differences were statistically significant only for the 'Reading text on television' item (p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS Both intraocular lens models showed excellent quantity of vision, optical and visual quality as well as high patient satisfaction. Despite this, the the Group A model provided slightly better outcomes than the Group B model.

Multifocal intraocular lens exchange to monofocal for the management of neuroadaptation failure. EYE AND VISION (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2022; 9:40. [PMID: 36316701 PMCID: PMC9623973 DOI: 10.1186/s40662-022-00311-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate visual, refractive, quality of vision, visual function and satisfaction of multifocal intraocular lens (MF-IOL) exchange with a monofocal IOL (MNF-IOL) in dissatisfied patients following MF-IOL implantation. METHODS This was a retrospective case series. Bilateral IOL exchange (MF-IOL to MNF-IOL) was performed in 13 patients (26 eyes) with neuroadaptation failure. Questionnaires including the Quality of Vision (QoV), Visual Function Index (VF-14 and Rasch-revised VF-8R version), and a satisfaction questionnaire were used. RESULTS The mean time for IOL exchange was 15 months. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved from 20/26 to 20/23 (P = 0.028). The uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) worsened after exchange from 20/47 to 20/62 (P = 0.024). QoV scores improved significantly across all three subscales after exchange. Visual function for far distance improved with a change in VF-14 score from 74.2 ± 24.8 to 90.9 ± 9.1 (P = 0.03). The VF-8R score showed worsening although not statistically significant. Near vision spectacle independence was totally or partially lost in all cases. Ten patients (77%) reported they would not repeat the lens exchange. Safety and efficacy indices changed from 1.23 to 0.85, respectively, at three months to 1.24 (P = 0.871) and 0.89 (P = 0.568), respectively, at one year. CONCLUSION IOL exchange (multifocal to monofocal) to solve neuroadaptation failure in this case series resulted in significant improvements in dysphotopsia and improved distance visual function. However, UNVA worsened and patient satisfaction after exchange remained suboptimal with 77% claiming they would not repeat the lens exchange, suggesting the value of near vision spectacle independence for these patients.

Factors associated with good near vision after cataract surgery with monofocal intraocular lens implantation at a tertiary eye hospital in southern India. Saudi J Ophthalmol 2022; 36:224-228. [PMID: 36211305 PMCID: PMC9535915 DOI: 10.4103/sjopt.sjopt_50_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Although multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are effective methods of dealing with surgical presbyopia, there are associated limitations (cost, technique, and patient-reported symptoms). Given their scalability challenge (due to economic factors), it is imperative to explore alternative low-cost and sustainable solutions to achieve good near vision postcataract surgery. This study aimed to determine the proportion of and the factors associated with good near vision in patients following cataract surgery with monofocal IOL implantation. METHODS We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study at a tertiary eye hospital in southern India from September 2019 to January 2020. Inclusion criteria: Uncomplicated postcataract surgery cases with monofocal IOL at least 30 days ago. Exclusion criteria: patients with any ocular condition (other than refractive errors) that could decrease the vision with best-corrected distance visual acuity < 0.18 Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (LogMAR) units. Data collection: we assessed near vision (at 40 cm distance by using near vision card with Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study format), distance visual acuity (uncorrected and best-corrected), refractive error (amount and type), type of astigmatism, pupil size, axial length, and contrast sensitivity. We considered a near vision of 0.2 LogMAR units or better as good near vision. RESULTS Of the 82 patients (82 eyes), 71 (86.59%) had good near vision. Multiple logistic regression analysis found found that the presence of myopia or myopic astigmatism was significantly associated with good near vision (adjusted odds ratio: 72.63; 95% confidence interval: 1.02-5193.5, p = 0.049). CONCLUSION About eight of every ten participants had good near vision postcataract surgery with monofocal IOL implantation. Myopia/myopic astigmatism was associated with good near vision.

Visual and optical quality of enhanced intermediate monofocal versus standard monofocal intraocular lens. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2022; 260:3617-3625. [PMID: 35622140 PMCID: PMC9581853 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-022-05700-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Intraocular lens designs are constantly evolving, trying to obtain more spectacle independence after cataract surgery. This advantage can be linked to some disadvantages, such as optical quality decrease. For that reason, it is important to assess, not only the amount of vision provided but also the quality of vision once they are implanted. The purpose of the present work was to compare the visual performance between two monofocal intraocular models: a standard model and a monofocal with enhanced intermediate vision lens. Methods Prospective, randomized, comparative study. Sixty adult subjects scheduled to undergo bilateral cataract surgery and IOL implantation were randomized to receive one of the two IOLs in both eyes at Miranza IOA, Madrid, Spain (group A: monofocal with enhanced intermediate vision lens and group B: standard monofocal lens). Monocular outcomes (right eyes) determined 1 and 3 months postoperatively were photopic corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), perceived halo, corrected intermediate-distance contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations. The impact of the new IOL in the postoperative management with autorefraction devices was also evaluated. Results No differences were found in CDVA between the two groups. Significant differences were detected between the two lenses evaluated in both total HOA (p = 0.028) and internal HOA (p = 0.037). Contrast sensitivity and halometry results obtained at 1 month were similar across the two IOL groups. Conclusion In patients undergoing cataract surgery, monofocal with enhanced intermediate vision IOL offered similar distance performance and contrast sensitivity along with perceived HOA and halos compared with the standard monofocal IOLs tested.

The effects of premium intraocular lenses on presbyopia treatments. ADVANCES IN OPHTHALMOLOGY PRACTICE AND RESEARCH 2022; 2:100042. [PMID: 37846220 PMCID: PMC10577869 DOI: 10.1016/j.aopr.2022.100042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
Background Presbyopia has become a global disease affecting the world's aging population. Among various treatments, cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation have become the most popular and common methods of presbyopia correction. During the twentieth century, IOLs have underwent significant innovation and advancements to meet the patients' high demands for functional vision at all distances. Main Text To meet the increasing needs for excellent near and intermediate vision for daily activities, some premium IOLs with more than one focus have been developed, for example, the refractive MfIOLs, diffractive MfIOLs, extended depth of field (EDOF) IOLs, and accommodating IOLs (AIOLs) were introduced to meet this need. In addition, the add-on MfIOLs have been explored as promising supplementary IOLs for pseudophakic presbyopia. When selecting the MfIOLs, the IOLs' features, patients' characteristics, preoperative eye conditions, and treatment expectations should be considered. Conclusions In this review, we focus on the multifocal IOLs (MfIOLs) commonly used for presbyopia correction and systematically summarized their optical designs and clinical outcomes. More evidence-based studies are required to provide guidelines for MfIOL selection, provide maximum visual benefits, and develop personalized visual solutions in the future.

Optical coherence tomography-signal strength index following trifocal and monofocal intraocular lens implantation. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2021; 36:102606. [PMID: 34710616 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2021.102606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of trifocal and monofocal intraocular lens implantation on the optical coherence tomography-signal strength index values obtained during macular and peripapillary scanning. METHOD Study group included 60 eyes of 60 patients with intraocular lens (Acriva BB UD 613 monofocal in 30 eyes and Acriva Trinova UD trifocal in 30 eyes) implantation after uneventful phacoemulsification. Thirty eyes of 30 healthy subjects without any intraocular surgery were selected as the control group. Eyes with best corrected visual acuity less than 20/20 due to any media opacity, high refractive errors excluded. Macular and retinal nerve fiber layer scans were generated by optical coherence tomography after pupillary dilation. Intergroup comparisons of signal strength index values of the macular and peripapillary scans were performed between eyes implanted with two different intraocular lenses and control group. RESULTS The mean signal strength index of the peripapillary and macular scans obtained in the eyes implanted with both monofocal and trifocal intraocular lenses were statistically less than the control group (p < 0.05, for all). SSI's of macular and peripapillary scans recorded from the eyes implanted with either monofocal or trifocal intraocular lenses were not statistically different from each other (p = 0.957 and p = 0.877, respectively). CONCLUSION In the present study despite different intraocular lenses properties, the image quality values were not found to be lower in eyes with trifocal sinusoidal intraocular lenses implantation compared to monofocal intraocular lenses during macular and peripapillary optical coherence tomography scans.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the visual performance of extended depth of focus (EDF) contact lenses (CL) in eyes that had undergone monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, and compare that between EDF and single-vision (SV) contact lenses. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, randomized, crossover study METHODS: Seventeen patients implanted with monofocal IOLs were enrolled. The study was conducted using 1dayPure EDOF as a test CL and 1dayPure moisture (both SEED Co., Ltd.) as a control CL. Binocular visual acuity from far to near distances, photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity (with and without glare), and stereopsis were evaluated after wearing the two kinds of CLs in random order. The obtained results were compared between the EDF and SV CLs. RESULTS Binocular visual acuity at 0.3, 0.4, 0.7, 1, and 5 m was 0.24 ± 0.12, 0.07 ± 0.09, - 0.02 ± 0.08, - 0.02 ± 0.08, and - 0.06 ± 0.07 logMAR during the EDF CL wear, respectively, and 0.39 ± 0.17, 0.26 ± 0.15, 0.04 ± 0.12, - 0.02 ± 0.08, and - 0.09 ± 0.09 during the SV CL wear, respectively. The EDF CL showed better results than the SV CL at 0.3, 0.4, and 0.7 m (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in contrast sensitivity between the EDF and SV CLs at 1.5 cycles per degree under all conditions; however, the sensitivity of the EDF CL was generally worse than that of the SV CL from the middle to high spatial frequencies. Stereopsis at 40 cm was significantly better in the EDF CL wear than in the SV CL wear (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The EDF CL substantially improved visual acuity at near to intermediate distances in IOL-implanted eyes. However, far visual acuity decreased under low-contrast conditions, and contrast sensitivity slightly declined at the middle to high spatial frequencies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the effectiveness, safety and predictability of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in eyes with shallow anterior chamber (AC). METHODS This is a prospective consecutive clinical study. All eyes presented an anterior chamber depth (ACD) ≤ 2.1 mm and were submitted to FLACS with monofocal intraocular lens (mIOL) or trifocal intraocular lens (tIOL) implantation. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (VA) and corrected distance VA values were used to assess efficacy and safety of the surgery. Refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelial cell density (ECD) and ACD were evaluated before and 6 months post-surgery. RESULTS Phacoemulsification was carried out successfully in all eyes, without intra- or postoperative complications. Efficacy and safety indexes were 0.96 and 1.26 for the mIOL group, and 0.87 and 1.01 for the tIOL group, respectively. The mean postoperative spherical equivalent was - 0.06 ± 0.28D and - 0.14 ± 0.38D for the mIOL and tIOL groups, respectively. The ECD varied from 2470 ± 483 to 2009 ± 538 cells/mm2 (p < 0.05) and from 2443 ± 319 to 2245 ± 628 cells/mm2 (p = 0.06) for the mIOL and tIOL groups, respectively. IOP significantly decreased (p < 0.05) after the surgery from 14.34 to 12.85 mmHg for the mIOL group and from 14.37 to 11.91 mmHg for the tIOL group, with a general reduction of medical hypotensive treatment in both groups (85% of cases required ≤ number of medications). ACD changed significantly (p < 0.05) from 1.96 ± 0.15 mm to 3.75 ± 0.30 mm after the surgery in the mIOL group and from 1.94 ± 0.15 mm to 3.23 ± 0.21 mm for the tIOL group. CONCLUSION FLACS with implantation of either mIOL or tIOL may provide good efficacy, safety and predictability in eyes with shallow AC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the early findings of new monofocal intraocular lens (Tecnis® Eyhance) in comparison with standard monofocal intraocular lens (Tecnis® 1-piece) in patients who underwent cataract surgery. METHODS Sixty-four eyes of thirty-two patients (each intraocular lens model was implanted bilaterally in 16 patients) were included in this retrospective study. Preoperative and postoperative (at one month) manifest refraction, spherical equivalent (SE) values, monocular and binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA), distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA), distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA), binocular defocus curve, photopic contrast-sensitivity, spectacle independence, photic phenomena, tolerance to residual refractive errors and complications were recorded. RESULTS The mean monocular postoperative UDVA, CDVA, DCNVA, spherical equivalent and cylinder values were comparable between each group (p > 0.05). Monocular and binocular DCIVA and UCIVA were significantly higher in Tecnis® Eyhance group than Tecnis® 1-piece group (p = 0.033, p = 0.038, respectively). No statistically significant difference was detected between groups regarding the photopic contrast sensitivities for any spatial frequency (p > 0.05). Spectacle independence was significantly higher in Tecnis® Eyhance group than Tecnis® 1-piece group. Tecnis® Eyhance IOL revealed a good tolerance to unexpected residual refractive errors than Tecnis® 1-piece IOL. CONCLUSION Tecnis® Eyhance appears to be an effective option for both patients and surgeons regarding better intermediate visual acuities and more forgiving for residual refractive errors relative to the standard monofocal intraocular lenses. However, longer follow-up studies with larger group of patients are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of Tecnis® Eyhance intraocular lens.
