Abstract
Purpose:
To analyze the visual outcomes after cataract surgery with a new trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation
Methods:
30 eyes of 15 patients (age range 55-80 years) were included in this prospective study. All subjects underwent a bilateral cataract surgery with implantation of the new trifocal FineVision (Physiol, Belgium) IOL. Distance (4m), intermediate (70cm) and near (40cm) visual acuities (decimal scale, logMar and defocus ), refractive outcomes, corneal topography, were evaluated 3 months after surgery.
Results:
the distance corrected visual acuity (DCVA) improvement was observed after surgery (from 0.58 +/- 0.10 to 0.80 +/- 0.20; p < 0.01). 97% of eyes have a spherical equivalent within +/- 0.50D. Postoperatively, the uncorrected near visual acuity was 0.76 +/- 0.15 and the uncorrected intermediate visual acuity was 0.69 +/- 0.28. The efficacy and safety indexes incremented
Conclusions:
The new trifocal intraocular lens FineVision IOL is able to restore successfully the distance, intermadiate and near visual acuity after cataract surgery.
