FIRST FUNCTIONAL RESULTS AFTER IMPLANTATION OF AN EDOF - IOL WITH A COMPLEMENTARY OPTIC SYSTEM USING SPHERICAL ABERRATION DISTRIBUTION

To assess the visual und functional outcomes of the SIFI Mini WELL® + SIFI Mini WELL Proxa® IOL (SIFI S. p. A., Italy) complementary optic system using spherical aberrations designed to bridge the gap in near vision (30-35 cm) and reduce spectacle dependence

After one month and 3 months post-operative we examined four patients who were implanted with the SIFI Mini WELL® in the dominant eye and the SIFI Mini WELL Proxa® in the non-dominant eye. Binocular uncorrected distance, intermediate and near vision was measured. On top, a binocular distance-corrected defocus curve was assessed. Photic phenomena were measured by means of the Halo and Glare Simulator

The mean binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0,08 logMAR. The mean binocular uncorrected intermediate visual acuity was 0,04 logMAR and the mean binocular uncorrected near visual acuity was 0,11 logMAR. In a scope of +0,50 dpt up to -3,00 dpt, the binocular distance corrected defocus curve showed a visual acuity of 0,1 logMAR or better

The WELL Fusion™ Optical System (Mini WELL® + Mini WELL PROXA®) showed first good functional results in distance, intermediate and near visual acuity. A complete independence from spectacles can be reached with excellent quality of vision in all light conditions
