Acrysof IQ Vivity (Alcon) extended depth-of-focus intraocular lens: implantation experience

Abstract

Aim to evaluate the results of the AcrySof IQ Vivity (Alcon) extended-focus intraocular lens implantation in cataract surgery with regard to visual acuity at three distances, independence from glasses, severity of photopic phenomena, and patient satisfaction.
 Material and methods. 20 patients (20 eyes) with cataract were examined and operated. All patients underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of IOL with extended focus depth AcrySof IQ Vivity, with the following analysis of treatment results. The follow-up period lasted for 6 months.
 Results. In 6 months after surgery, the uncorrected far distance visual acuity was 0.880.04, the middle distance acuity 0.770.01, the near distance acuity 0.610.05. The maximum corrected far distance visual acuity was 0.930.06, the middle distance acuity 0.810.09, near distance acuity 0.650.02.
 Conclusion. The IOL provides excellent visual acuity at far and middle distances, as well as functional visual acuity at near distance, which increases the independence from glasses. The target refraction was achieved in 91% of cases. The patients expressed high satisfaction with postoperative results. This lens can be recommended for use in clinical practice.
