Analysis of the effects of FineVision Micro F and AcySof IQ PanOptix intraocular lenses on visual quality under different lighting condition

Abstract

Aims/Purpose: To analyse the effect of the design of FineVision Micro F and AcrySof IQ PanOptix trifocal intraocular lenses on the visual quality of patients under photopic and mesopic illumination conditions.Methods: Observational, prospective, cross‐sectional study. The study was conducted at the Hospital Universitario Sanitas la Moraleja in Madrid. The study followed the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The sample included 16 patients who underwent cataract or lensectomy surgery, with bilateral implantation of one of the two intraocular lenses (IOLs) under study: 20 eyes with FineVision Micro F implant and 12 eyes with AcrySof IQ PanOptix. After 30 days after surgery, an assessment of photopic and mesopic, monocular and binocular visual acuity (VA) was performed for three distances: far (4 m), intermediate (66 cm) and near (40 cm) with the ETDRS test. A p‐value <0.05 was considered a criterion for statistical significance.Results: Visual acuity analysis showed significant differences between FineVision Micro F and AcrySof IQ PanOptix lenses, under photopic conditions, for intermediate distance (p‐value 0.014) with means of 0.04 ± 0.05 and 0.11 ± 0.11, respectively and near distance (p‐value 0.001), with means of 0.05 ± 0.06 and 0.12 ± 0.06, respectively. On the other hand, in mesopic conditions, statistically significant differences (p‐value 0.032) were observed in close distance, with means of 0.43 ± 0.3 and 0.52 ± 0.2, respectively.Conclusions: Both FineVision Micro F and AcrySof IQ PanOptix IOL designs provide optimal VA at far distances in both photopic and mesopic illumination conditions. The FineVision Micro F IOL provides better intermediate and near VA in photopic conditions and near distance in mesopic conditions than the AcrySof IQ PanOptix IOL, and this difference is clinically significant.
