Abstract
Purpose :
To assess visual quality and depth of focus after binocular implantation of ArtIOLs® 70 (Voptica SL, Murcia, Spain). These are inverted meniscus lenses with non-diffractive EDOF IOL technology based on a super-aspheric design intended to deliver full range of vision across distances results and improved peripheral optics.
Methods :
Ten cataract patients were implanted bilaterally with ArtIOLs® 70, targeting emmetropia in one eye and a small residual postoperative spherical equivalent of -0.60 D in the fellow eye. Subjective refraction and binocular uncorrected defocus curve from +1.00 to -3.00 D were performed under photopic lighting conditions. 8 of the patients completed the Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire to evaluate the frequency and severity of ten negative visual symptoms (e.g., glare, haloes, starburst).
Results :
Ten cataract patients were implanted bilaterally with ArtIOLs® 70, targeting emmetropia in one eye and a small residual postoperative spherical equivalent of -0.60 D in the fellow eye. Subjective refraction and binocular uncorrected defocus curve from +1.00 to -3.00 D were performed under photopic lighting conditions. 8 of the patients completed the Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire to evaluate the frequency and severity of ten negative visual symptoms (e.g., glare, haloes, starburst).
Conclusions :
Binocular implantation of a new super-aspheric full-range-of-focus ArtIOLs® 70 significantly extended depth of focus. This combination resulted in a full range of functional vision without the drawback of halos or dysphotopsias found in lenses bases on diffractive optics.
