Purpose
This investigation aims to assess the first clinical results with a new spiral full range of vision intraocular lens (IOL) implanted after cataract removal.
Setting
Department of Ophthalmology, University Eye Clinic, Heidelberg, Germany
Methods
The preoperative examinations include slit lamp, keratometry and biometry, as well as subjective refraction. At one-month postoperative subjective refraction, visual acuity testing for far (4m), intermediate (66cm) and near (40cm) and defocus curve measurements were performed.
Results
The lens was tested using simulated visual acuity testing which suggests a full range of vision performance. These results will be investigated clinically showing the visual acuity at several distances from near to far of the novel full range of vision IOL and will be first presented at the ESCRS congress
Conclusions
We are facing an increasing number of patients that have a wish for spectacle independence after cataract surgery. The well establishes standard monofocal IOLs do only correct for distance vision and are therefore not a suitable option for these patients. Recent newer technologies like the investigated full range of vision IOL present promising alternatives with a greater chance of delivering more independence from spectacles after cataract surgery.
