Real-World Clinical Results with the Hoya Vivinex Impress Intraocular Lens with Enhanced Depth of Focus.

Abstract

In cataract surgery, intraocular lenses (IOLs) with enhanced depth of focus are an option to correct presbyopia. The purpose of this quality assurance analysis was to evaluate visual acuity and patient satisfaction after implantation of the Hoya Vivinex Impress IOL. The Hoya Vivinex Impress IOL was implanted in patients undergoing cataract surgery at the Pallas Klinik, Olten, Switzerland. Five weeks postoperatively, a clinical examination and a survey on patient satisfaction were conducted. A total of 17 eyes (9 patients; mean age 64 years) underwent cataract surgery with implantation of a Hoya Vivinex Impress IOL. Five weeks postoperatively, mean uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 0.2 logMAR, uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) was 0.0 logMAR, and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) was 0.2 logMAR. The mean distance-corrected visual acuity results were 0.0 logMAR, 0.1 logMAR, and 0.3 logMAR, respectively. Reading the newspaper without glasses was possible for 33.4% of patients. Visual disturbances such as halos and glares were not reported. Cataract surgery with Hoya Vivinex Impress IOL implantation revealed good distance and intermediate vision and, in some patients, functional near vision as well as a high patient satisfaction.
