To compare the outcomes of extended depth of focus (EDOF) versus trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs)

in patients undergoing cataract surgery.

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed as per the Preferred Reporting Items for

Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines and a search of electronic information

was conducted to identify all comparative studies of EDOF versus trifocal lenses were included.

Postoperative refraction and visual acuity were primary outcome measures. Secondary outcome

measures included postoperative defocus curves, intraocular aberrations, contrast sensitivity (CS),

quality of vision (QoV) questionnaire score, haloes and glare, spectacle independence and patient

satisfaction. Fixed and random effects models were used for the analysis.

 

A total of 22 studies enrolling 2200 eyes were identified. Trifocal IOL showed a significant improvement in sphere  and spherical equivalence (MD=-0.11, P=0.0001) compared to EDOF IOL.  Trifocal IOL had superior near visual acuity outcomes, namely uncorrected near visual acuity (MD=0.12, P<0.00001) and distance-corrected near visual acuity (MD=0.12, P=0.002). Postoperative corrected distance visual acuity was significantly improved for the EDOF group. Defocus curve favoured trifocal IOLs at near vision and EDOF IOLs at intermediate vision. Ocular aberration, CS, haloes, glare and patient satisfaction were not statistically significant between the groups. Trifocal IOL had improved QoV questionnaire score  and spectacle independence .

The trifocal IOLs have improved uncorrected near visual acuity compared to EDOF IOLs. Uncorrected distance and intermediate visual acuity, halos and glare are not statistically different between both groups.
