Abstract
Purpose :
To assess clinical outcomes of diffractive multifocal intraocular lens implantation after vitrectomy performed to treat retinal detachment in eyes that underwent myopia-correcting refractive surgery.
Methods :
Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, manifest refraction were measured in 27 eyes of 27 patients who received diffractive multifocal intraocular lens implantation due to nuclear cataract following vitrectomy as retinal detachment treatment and had received refractive surgery for myopia-correction beforehand.
Results :
Mean postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.17 ± 0.29(logMAR), and near visual acuity was 0.21 ± 0.24(logMAR) 6 months after cataract surgery. Postoperative spherical equivalent(SE) was ranged within ±0.50 in 15 eyes(71.4%), ±1.00D in 19 eyes(90.4%), and all eyes showed SE within ±1.50D.
Conclusions :
Diffractive multifocal intraocular lens implantation showed spherical equivalent approximately equal to preoperative expected refraction in eyes with previous vitrectomy and myopia-correcting refractive surgery
