Abstract
To evaluate refractive and visual parameters related to distance, intermediate, and near vision after cataract surgery and the optical quality of a new diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). Vissum Instituto Oftalmologico de Alicante, Alicante, Spain. Case series. Patients had bilateral refractive lens exchange and multifocal diffractive IOL (AT Lisa tri 839 MP) implantation. A complete ophthalmology examination was performed preoperatively and postoperatively. The follow-up was 6 months. The main outcome measures were uncorrected distance (UDVA) and corrected distance (CDVA), intermediate, and near visual acuities; keratometry; manifest refraction; and aberrations (total, corneal, internal). The study comprised 60 eyes of 30 patients (mean age 57.9 years ± 7.8 [SD]; range 42 to 76 years). There was significant improvement in UDVA, uncorrected intermediate visual acuity, uncorrected near visual acuity, CDVA, and distance-corrected intermediate and near visual acuity. The postoperative refractive status was within the range of +1.00 to -1.00 diopter. Total internal aberrations decreased significantly (P<.001). The trifocal IOL improved near, intermediate, and distance vision in presbyopic patients. The use of 3 foci provided significant intermediate visual results without sacrificing near or distance vision.
