Abstract
To compare visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after bilateral implantation of a nondiffractive extended vision intraocular lens (IOL) when targeting emmetropia vs mini-monovision. Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India. Prospective, randomized controlled trial. Patients undergoing bilateral cataract surgery with an extended vision IOL (Vivity) randomized to group I-IOL implantation with emmetropic target in both eyes or group II-IOL implantation with mini-monovision of -0.5 diopters (D) were included in this study. Outcome measures evaluated 6 months postoperatively were unaided and corrected near visual acuity (UNVA, CNVA) at 40 cm and unaided and corrected distance (UDVA, CDVA) and intermediate (UIVA, CIVA) visual acuity at 66 cm. Mesopic contrast sensitivity, binocular defocus curve, Patient-Reported Spectacle Independence Questionnaire, and satisfaction on the McAlinden questionnaire were also assessed. 70 patients enrolled in this study. 34 and 33 patients in groups I and II, respectively, completed follow-up. Binocular UNVA was significantly better in group II (0.26 ± 0.05 vs 0.22 ± 0.08 logMAR, P = .03). Reading add required in group II was significantly lower. UIVA (0.09 ± 0.06 vs 0.07 ± 0.08 logMAR, P = .15) and UDVA (0.02 ± 0.04 vs 0.02 ± 0.05 logMAR, P = .78) were not significantly different between groups. Mesopic contrast sensitivity was not significantly different between the groups. Binocular defocus curve showed significantly better mean visual acuities between -2.0 D and -3.0 D in group II. Patients in both groups had high levels of spectacle independence, with no patient reporting dysphotopsia. Binocular UNVA was significantly better, with comparable UDVA and mesopic contrast sensitivity when targeting mini-monovision with the nondiffractive extended vision IOL as compared with targeting binocular emmetropia.
