Purpose

The aim of the study is to present the final results of the implantation of monofocal intraocular lenses with extended depth of focus in cataract patients

Setting

1 Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, Poland

2 Department of Ophthalmology, Professor K. Gibinski University Clinical Center of the Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland

Methods

As part of the project, 20 Monofocal IOL with extended depth of focus (TECNIS Eyhance IOL, J&J, USA)  were implanted during cataract phacoemulsification to assess the effectiveness of the lens and evaluate the technique of implantation. The power of implanted lenses was calculated by distance emmetropy. Patients were checked prior to surgery and in the follow-up for: Catquest-9SF 2011 questionnaire to assess vision-related quality of life, visual acuity measurements - UDVA, BCDVA, UIVA (66cm), UCNVA and refraction using maximum plus technique. One year after the procedure, patients' visual acuity and level of satisfaction were checked and assessed nagain

Results

Binocular implantation, twenty eyes (10 patients), mean age 63.8. IOL power was from 19.0 to 25.5 D. Mean UCDVA, UCIVA change significantly after the procedure (0.2 to 0.9; 6 to 10 respectively, p<0.05). For near vision patients need glasses correction. The average refractive error before surgery was -1.50 D +/- 2.25 D, postop  -0.25 D +/- 0.50 D. No adverse effects  were observed. The results of surveys - Catquest-9SF indicate a significant improvement in the performance of daily activities (30% satisfied and 60% very satisfied). Patient satisfaction after one year of follow-up was very high (90%), without eye-related adverse events
The IOL power was from 19.0 to 25.5 D. The mean UCDVA, UCIVA  change significantly after the procedure (0.2 to 0.9; 6 to 10 respectively, p<0.05). The average refractive error before surgery was -1.50 D +/- 2.25 D, postop  -0.25 D +/- 0.50 D. No adverse effects  were observed. The results of surveys - Catquest-9SF indicate a significant improvement in the performance of daily activities. Patient satisfaction after one year of follow-up was very high, they did not report any eye-related adverse events

Conclusion

The innovative monofocal IOL with extended depth of focus -TECNIS Eyhance provides patients very good far-distance vision and improved vision at intermediate distances. Improvement of daily activity related to vision was also much better after binocular implantation. These intraocular lenses seem to achieve optimal results permanently and give benefits for the patients.
