Aim. To study the rehabilitative effect of treatment of cataracts by implanting trifocal refractive-diffractive soft intraocular lens MIOL-Record 3. Methods. 192 patients (216 eyes) who were operated on for cataract participated in the study. The first (main) group included 63 patients (72 eyes) in whom cataract extraction and implantation of the domestic trifocal refractive-diffractive monolithic (soft) intraocular lens MIOL-Record 3 was performed. The second group included 64 patients (70 eyes) in whom cataract extraction and implantation of the domestic bifocal refractive-diffractive lens MIOL-Accord was performed. The third group consisted of 65 patients (74 eyes) in whom cataract extraction and implantation of the domestic monofocal lens MIOL-2 was performed. Preoperative examination was performed the day before surgery, postoperative - after 7 days, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Results. The mean value of visual acuity at a distance of 50 cm without correction in the group of patients with MIOL-Record 3 1 month after surgery was 0.42±0.01 and was significantly higher than such in patients with MIOL-Accord and MIOL-2 - 0.14±0.01 and 0.1±0.001, respectively. A questionnaire survey revealed that in the group with MIOL-Record 3 additional correction with glasses is never used at the intermediate distance in 98.62% of the cases, in groups with MIOL-Accord - in 54.28%, and with MIOL-2 - in 25.68% of cases. Patients with MIOL-Record 3 were completely satisfied with the results of surgery in 70.84% of the cases, and in groups with MIOL-Accord and MIOL-2 - in 54.28, and 27.03% of cases, respectively. Conclusion. The conducted studies have established the best rehabilitative effect of the treatment of cataract during implantation of a trifocal refractive-diffractive intraocular lens MIOL-Record 3.

Abstract Background: This study was designed to evaluate visual, refractive and safety outcomes in eyes after they underwent phacoemulsification and implantation of a preloaded monofocal hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens.Methods: This was a single center prospective study conducted at Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom. Patients were included if they had cataract extraction with in-the-bag implantation of the EyeCee® One preloaded intraocular lens from August to October 2019. Pre-operative, surgery-related and 2 weeks and 3 months post-operative data was collected. Surgeons at this trust were then asked to complete a feedback form to evaluate their experience of implanting the EyeCee® One. Results: 152 eyes were included in the study. 94 (62%) of these eyes had cataract but no concomitant ocular pathology that could potentially affect visual acuity. Three months post-operatively, 98.7% of all eyes had monocular CDVA ≤ 0.3 logMAR. 100% of the eyes without concomitant ocular pathology achieved this target. The mean CDVA of all eyes in this study improved from 0.43 ± 0.43 logMAR pre-operatively, to 0.05 ± 0.11 logMAR post-operatively (p < 0.05). The mean sphere and spherical equivalent values showed significant improvements (p <0.05) and (p < 0.05). There were no intraoperative complications and 1.3% of patients reported complications 2 weeks post-operatively. All of the participating surgeons said they would use the EyeCee® One again with 64% providing an overall rating of ‘excellent’ for their experience of implanting this intraocular lens. Conclusions: This study indicates excellent post-operative visual acuity and refractive outcomes in eyes after EyeCee® One implantation. This is accompanied with very little risk of intraoperative and post-operative complications.

Aim: To evaluate the retinal light scattering, visual acuity, refraction and subjective satisfaction in patients after implantation of Acrysof IQ PanOptix intraocular lens. Methods: Our group included 32 eyes of 21 patients who underwent cataract surgery or refractive lensectomy with Acrysof IQ PanOptix multifocal intraocular lens implantation at the Ophthalmology Clinic of Faculty Hospital Hradec Králové during the time from September 2015 to December 2017. The observed parameters were visual acuity, subjective refraction, retinal light scattering and patient‘ subjective satisfaction. Preoperative refractive values and visual acuity values were compared with results obtained on day 1, 1 month and at an average of 27 months postoperatively. Subjective satisfaction and degree of light scattering on the retina were evaluated at the end of the follow-up period. Results: Preoperative, uncorrected distant visual acuity improved from an average of 0,51 ± 0,29 (expressed in decimal values) to 0,94 ± 0,10 at the end of the follow-up period. Preoperative best-corrected distance visual acuity improved from an average of 0,95 ± 0,19 to 1,00 ± 0,09 at the end of the follow-up period. The mean value of preoperative uncorrected near visual acuity was 8,29 ± 4,93 of Jaeger charts, the mean value of uncorrected near visual acuity at the end of the follow-up period was 1,00 ± 0 of Jaeger charts. Subjective satisfaction was assessed using a standardized VF-14 questionnaire at least 1 year after surgery (mean follow-up of 27 months). Retinal light scattering was examined using an Oculus C-Quant instrument. The retinal light scattering value in our sample was 1,12 ± 0,19. In only 6 eyes of 4 patients, the resulting value was outside the physiological range used for eyes with lens crystallina Conclusion: The value of light scattering on the retina is a factor affecting the degree of sensitivity to glare after implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses. In our group, we observed a deviation from the physiological range of retinal light scattering in only 6 eyes of 4 patients, but this did not lead to a deterioration in subjective postoperative satisfaction.

Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of cataract extraction in patients with varying degrees of corneal opacity.Patients and methods. We performed cataract extraction with implantation of the intraocular lenses of 14 eyes (9 patients) with varying degree of corneal opacity. The causes of corneal opacities were: keratitis in anamnesis — 6 cases, the result of wearing soft contact lenses — 2 eyes, eye injury — 2, the outcome of dermatitis of unspecified genesis with eye damage — 3, perforation of the corneal ulcer — 1 case. In 9 eyes, opacity of the cornea occupied the optic part of the cornea, in 5 cases, the opacity of the cornea was in the paraoptic zone. The middle uncorrected visual acuity of all cases is 0.05 ± 0.03, and the middle best corrected visual acuity is 0.14 ± 0.07. The phacoemulsification of the cataract with implantation of the intraocular lens was performed for all the patients.Results. There were no complications during the operation, in the early and late postoperative periods. As a result of cataract extraction, all patients, regardless of the degree of cornea opacity, noted vision improvement. On the first day after the operation, the middle best corrected visual acuity was 0.06 ± 0.02 in 4 eyes, in 10 cases the middle best corrected visual acuity was 0.09 ± 0.03. The middle best corrected visual acuity 7 days after the surgery was 0.31 ± 0.07. After 6 months of observation of patients with corneal opacity after phacoemulsification of the cataract with implantation of the intraocular lens, the most corrected visual acuity was 0.27 ± 0.19.Conclusions. All patients with corneal opacity of varying degrees of intensity after cataract extraction noted improved vision. The central location of the opacity of the cornea significantly reduced visual acuity, and paraoptic — influenced the vision to a lesser extent. The degree of cornea turbidity was also affected the initial visual acuity — the more clouding and the depth of the cornea, the lower the vision. The result of the lens extraction also depended on the maturity of the cataract — with a more turbid lens the result was higher in relation to preoperative indices.

In Indonesia, the prevalence of cataract is 80 %. The main purpose of phacoemulsification with theimplantation of intraocular lens (IOL) is to improve visual acuity on cataract patient. The outcome ofcataract surgery should be evaluated based on visual acuity and quality of vision. Contrast sensitivityexamination can provide important information about the visual capabilities of individuals. The aim of thisresearch is to find out the contrast sensitivity value on cataract patients after phacoemulsification with theimplantation of hydrophobic aspheric monofocal IOL at FMC Hospital, Sentul on December 2018 untilJanuary 2019. This research used cross sectional descriptive design. The contrast sensitivity test isconducted on subject that fulfill the inclusive and exclusive criteria. This test is conducted using Vistech6500. The mean value of contrast sensitivity of 50 eyes at 1.5 cpd was 184.11, at 3 cpd was 235.5, at 6 cpdwas 207.360, at 12 cpd was 119.830, and at 18 cpd was 52.914. The result, the mean contrast sensitivity of50 eyes at the 1.5 and 3 cpd is higher compared to maximum value of Vistech 6500. However at 6, 12 and 18cpd the mean contras sensitivity depleted compared to maximum value of Vistech 6500. The result of meancontrast sensitivity based on age was the middle-aged (45-59 years) had a better contrast sensitivitycompare than young old (60-74 years) and very old category (75-90 years).

Purpose: To assess the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction of the Tecnis Eyhance, an advanced monofocal intraocular lens (IOL), compared to a conventional monofocal IOL. Design: Retrospective case-control study. Methods: This study included 120 eyes of 60 patients (30 patients in each group) who underwent bilateral cataract surgery either with the implantation of conventional monofocal IOLs (Tecnis PCB00), as a control group, or advanced monofocal IOLs (Tecnis Eyhance ICB00). Ophthalmological evaluation included the measurement of binocular corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), monocular and binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), and uncorrected intermediate VA (UIVA). In addition the binocular defocus curve was analyzed. Furthermore a subjective questionnaire (Catquest-9SF) was used to assess vision and life quality. Results: The average binocular UDVA was 20/22 in the ICB00 group and 20/20 in the PCB00 model ( p = 0.62). The average monocular UIVA was 20/32 in the ICB00 group and 20/40 in the control group ( p < 0.001). We found the binocular UIVA, had a mean value of 20/30 in the ICB00, compared to 20/40 in the control group ( p < 0.001). The reported dysphotopsia was not significantly different between both groups ( p = 0.56). Regarding the life quality questionnaire, the ICB00 group showed less difficulty in activities requiring intermediate vision. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated a significant improvement in visual acuity for intermediate distance in the ICB00 group compared to the control group, without compromising distance visual acuity. We also found a greater capability for intermediate distance activities (namely for computer use and reading price tags) when comparing ICB00 patients with the control group.

Abstract Backgrounds However there have been numerous investigations of intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation techniques, there is room for improvement in terms of simplifying complicated techniques and reducing the high levels of skill required. This study aimed to report a novel technique for sutureless intrascleral fixation of the IOL using retinal forceps with a 27-gauge trocar. Methods Nineteen eyes of 18 patients underwent intrascleral fixation of the IOL from July 2018 to September 2019 were enrolled in this study. A 27-gauge trocar formed 3-mm scleral tunnels positioned at 4 and 10 o’clock, 2 mm from the corneal limbus. We used a 3-piece IOL haptic grasped by a 27-gauge retinal forceps and pulled from the 27-gauge trocar. The IOL was fixed by making a flange. Main outcome measures were visual acuity, corneal endothelial cell density, IOL tilt, decentration, predicted error of refraction and complications. Results The 19 eyes were followed up for 1 month. The mean pre- and postoperative logMAR uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 1.06 ± 0.63 and 0.40 ± 0.26, respectively (p < 0.01), while the mean pre- and postoperative logMAR best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.27 ± 0.51 and 0.06 ± 0.15, respectively (p = 0.09). The mean corneal endothelial cell density was 2406 ± 625 to 2004 ± 759 cells/mm2 at 1 month (p = 0.13). The mean IOL tilt was 3.52 ± 3.00°, and the mean IOL decentration was 0.39 ± 0.39 mm. There was no correlation among IOL tilt, decentration and BCVA (p > 0.05). The mean prediction error of the target refraction was − 0.03 ± 0.93 D. The complications were vitreous hemorrhage (3 eyes), hyphema (1 eye), IOP elevation (1 eye), iris capture of the IOL (1 eye) and hypotony (2 eyes). No IOL dislocation occurred. Conclusions IOL intrascleral fixation with a flange achieved good IOL fixation and visual outcome in the scleral tunnels created with the 27-gauge trocar.

Abstract Background This study aimed to assess visual outcomes, quality of vision and patients’ satisfaction of a trifocal diffractive intraocular lens after cataract surgery with phacoemulsification. Results The study included 36 eyes that underwent implantation of trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL). The residual mean postoperative spherical equivalent was − 0.40 ± 0.29 diopters. Mean Uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.80 ± 0.16 decimal (snellen equivalent 25 ft) while mean Uncorrected intermediate visual acuity was 0.82 ± 0.31 decimal (snellen equivalent 25 ft) and mean Uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA) was 0.87 ± 0.20 decimal (snellen equivalent 23 ft). In defocus curve, there was infinitesimal gradual change between the three foci. Contrast sensitivity was just below the inferior limit of normal. Conclusion Trifocal diffractive IOL created a true intermediate focus proved by VA and defocus curve and better quality of vision assessed by contrast sensitivity and high order aberration. Moreover, it was safe and effective for correcting distance and near vision in these patients. Most of the patients were very satisfied and achieved spectacle independence. Trial registration Registration number and date: NCT04465279 on July 10, 2020.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in eyes with pre-existing trabeculectomy.Methods: This prospective single-center clinical study evaluated intraocular pressure in 60 eyes of 60 patients who underwent phacoemulsification and implantation of a foldable intraocular lens after a previous successful trabeculectomy. Patients who had a trabeculectomy more than one year prior to the study were included. Intraocular pressure, number of antiglaucoma medications, bleb appearance, and visual acuity were recorded preoperatively, and at each follow-up examination and 12 months after phacoemulsification.Results: The mean intraocular pressure before phacoemulsification was 12.42 mmHg (SD, 4.60 mmHg), which increased to 14.98 mmHg (SD, 4.18 mmHg), 14.47 mmHg (SD, 3.58 mmHg), 15.44 mmHg (SD, 3.60 mmHg), and 15.71 mmHg (SD, 3.47 mmHg) after one, three, six, and 12 months, respectively. At each follow-up visit, the mean IOP was significantly higher than the preoperative value (p < 0.001, p = 0.015, p ≤ 0.001, and p = 0.001 at month one, three, six, and 12, respectively). The mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.98 logMAR (SD, 0.44 logMAR) and the mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity at 12 months was 0.20 logMAR (SD, 0.21 logMAR) [p = 0.0001]. The mean preoperative number of antiglaucoma medications used was 0.57 (SD, 0.63), which increased to 0.65 (SD, 0.63 ), 0.70 (SD, 0.72 ) 0.68, (SD, 0.70), and 0.67 (SD, 0.77 ) at one, three, six, and 12 months, respectively, but there were no statistically significant differences. Bleb size decreased clinically after phacoemulsification. Nineteen of 60 eyes (32%) developed fibrosis of bleb with decreased bleb size.Conclusion: Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation significantly increased intraocular pressure and increased the number of antiglaucoma medications in eyes with pre-existing functioning filtering blebs.

Abstract Purpose To compare visual outcomes after implantation of AtLisa tri 839 MP and Symfony intraocular lenses (IOLs). Methods All subjects underwent sequential bilateral cataract extraction with AtLisa tri 839 MP or Symfony IOL implantation. The design is prospective case series. Each group consists of 20 patients (40 eyes). At 1 year postoperatively, the following parameters were analysed: binocular uncorrected visual acuity (log MAR): for distance (UDVA) at 4 m, for intermediate distances (UIVA) at 60, 70, 80 cm and for near (UNVA) at 40 cm, defocus curve, mesopic and photopic contrast sensitivities (CSs), spectacle independence, visual function test questionnaire modified VFQ-25), photopic phenomena and postoperative complications. Results In the AtLisa tri 839 MP group, the mean binocular UNVA and UIVA were significantly better than in the Symfony group (UNVA: − 0.01 ± 0.04 vs. 0.21 ± 0.15; p = 0.000; 60 cm UIVA: − 0.01 ± 0.04 vs. 0.09 ± 0.09, p = 0.001; 70 cm UIVA − 0.05 ± 0.06 vs. 0.11 ± 0.08, p = 0.002; 80 cm UIVA − 0.01 ± 0.06 vs. 0.15 ± 0.08, p = 0.019). There were no significant between-group differences in the mean binocular UDVA and CS, with one exception: the mean binocular distance CS (18 cpd) under mesopic conditions was significantly better in the Symfony group than in the AtLisa tri 839 MP group (1.39 ± 0.22 vs. 1.17 ± 0.27; p = 0.015). The defocus curve analysis revealed significant between-group differences at vergences of 2.0 to − 4.0 D (p < 0.05), except for 2.0, 1.0, 0 and − 1.5. All subjects in AtLisa tri 839 MP group and 18 subjects (90%) in Symfony group were spectacle independent. Patients from both groups highly rated their overall vision quality in the VFQ-25 (1.67 ± 0.47 vs. 1.85 ± 0.5 in the Symfony and AtLisa tri 839 MP group, respectively, p = NS). The scores for daytime driving (1.00 ± 0.00 vs. 1.21 ± 0.36; p = 0.002), night driving (1.57 ± 0.55 vs. 2.13 ± 1.15; p = 0.027) and difficult situation driving (1.14 ± 0.31 vs. 1.53 ± 0.56; p = 0.049) were significantly better in the AtLisa tri 839 MP group than in the Symfony group. The incidence and perception level of halo and glare were significantly reduced (p = 0.00) in the Symfony group as compared to the AtLisa tri 839 MP group. The postoperative course was uneventful in all subjects. Conclusions Visual outcomes achieved with both IOLs are comparable. In both groups, 90% of patients achieved spectacle independence. Whereas the AtLisa tri 839 MP IOL implantation was associated with slightly better intermediate distance VA and significantly better near VA, photic phenomena were less perceived by patients with Symfony IOLs.
