Abstract
Trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) provides three foci for the external light to the eye. The reduction of corneal astigmatism makes three foci to clearly focus on the fovea. This study aimed to evaluate one-year clinical outcomes for near, intermediate, and far distance visual acuity and satisfaction in patients implanted with diffractive trifocal toric IOLs. This retrospective observational case series study was based on the medical records of patients who undergone uncomplicated cataract surgery with implantation of a trifocal toric IOL (POD AY 26P F-T FineVision Toric; PhysIOL SA, Liège, Belgium). Eyes with corneal astigmatism greater than 1.00 diopters were included. Postoperative evaluations included uncorrected near, intermediate, and distance and corrected distance visual acuity; defocus curves; and contrast sensitivity measured at both three months and one-year postoperatively. Subjective satisfaction was evaluated based on three kinds of questionnaires for spectacle dependence, quality of vision, and overall satisfaction. Postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity and that at 33, 43, 50, 60, and 80 cm at one-year were 0.07±0.08, 0.22±0.11, 0.17±0.11, 0.14±0.10, 0.14±0.10, and 0.15±0.10 logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR), respectively. A smooth range of good visual acuity was found on defocus curve. Subjective scores for spectacle dependence, quality of vision, and subjective satisfaction showed no significant differences between three months and one-year postoperatively. The mean amount of IOL axis rotation was 2.14±1.72° (range: 0.2-5.1°) at one-year postoperatively. Implantation of a diffractive trifocal toric IOL for cataract, presbyopia, and astigmatism correction provided good refractive and visual outcomes, relatively smooth range of intermediate vision, and high levels of visual quality and patient satisfaction until one-year after surgery.
