Prospective visual evaluation of apodized diffractive intraocular lenses
To evaluate distance, intermediate, and near visual performance in patients who had multifocal apodized diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain.The best corrected distance visual acuity, best distance-corrected near visual acuity, intermediate visual acuity, distance contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions, and patient satisfaction were measured in 325 patients and 335 patients who had bilateral implantation of the model SA60D3 IOL (AcrySof ReSTOR, Alcon) and model SN60D3 IOL (AcrySof Natural ReSTOR), respectively.At the 6-month postoperative visit, binocular best corrected distance acuity with the ReSTOR IO…
Symmetric bilateral implantation of a distance-dominant diffractive bifocal intraocular lens
To assess visual results after symmetrical bilateral implantation of a distance-dominant bifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL).Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain.Fifty patients had bilateral implantation of a distance-dominant diffractive bifocal 447D IOL (Acri.Tec GmbH) in a prospective study. Monocular and binocular best corrected distance visual acuities and best distance-corrected near visual acuity, binocular best distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity, and distance contrast sensitivity under photopic (85 cd/m(2)) and mesopic (5 cd/m(2)) conditions were determined.At the 6-month postoperative visit, the mean binocular best corrected distance acuity and…
Correlation of pupil size with visual acuity and contrast sensitivity after implantation of an apodized diffractive intraocular lens
To determine whether pupil size is correlated with visual acuity and contrast sensitivity at all distances in eyes with an apodized diffractive intraocular lens (IOL).Private Clinic, Oviedo, Spain.Six months after surgery, the best corrected distance visual acuity, best distance-corrected near visual acuity, intermediate visual acuity, and distance contrast sensitivity under photopic (85 cd/m2) and mesopic (5 cd/m2) conditions were measured in 670 eyes of 335 consecutive patients who had implantation of the AcrySof ReSTOR Natural IOL (SN60D3, Alcon). Pupil diameters in distance vision were measured using a pupillometer.The logMAR best corrected distance acuity was significantly better with …
