Visual Outcomes After Presbyopia Correcting Intraocular Lens In Patients With Age Macular Degeneration

Oftalvist, Alicante, Spain

This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Hospital Clínico San Carlos (Madrid, Spain). Inclusion Criteria considered age-related cataract surgery patients, based on the fundus examination, macular OCT or autofluorescence, show a mild pathology that does not recommend a trifocal IOL in one or both eyes, drupes (drupelets or small drusen <63 microns) in one or both eyes, early AMD with medium drusen of 63-125 microns without AMD-related pigment changes, and pigment epithelium alterations without geographic component, mild alteration in macular OCT study, with partial loss of the ellipsoid line. Exclusion criteria considered advanced or intermediate AMD, other ocular co-morbidities or disease and previous ocular surgeries.

These are preliminary results of a larger study with 25 subjects targeted. Monocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, uncorrected and corrected distance monocular intermediate (66 cm) and near (40 cm), subjective refraction and monocular defocus curves were measured in 10 patients. All patients were candidates to cataract surgery and implanted with the EDOF AcrySof IQ Vivity IOL. All surgeries will be done using ORA intraoperative aberrometry using the same surgical technique, equipment and postoperative treatment. All patients were implanted with the EDOF AcrySof IQ Vivity IOL bilaterally but only one eye per patient was included in the statistical analysis.
