Purpose

To evaluate the functional outcomes including visual performance and patient reported outcomes after implantation of the refractive EDOF lens Tecnis PureSee DEN00V and TECNIS PureSee Toric II (JnJ, US).

Setting

The David J Apple Center for Vision Research, Department of Ophthalmology, Heidelberg University Hospital, Heidelberg, Germany

Methods

58 eyes of 29 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of Tecnis PureSee (JnJ, US) were included in this prospective study. The mean age of the patients was 71 ± 11 years. Postoperative follow-up at 3 months included uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuity, uncorrected (UIVA) and distance corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) at 80 cm, and uncorrected (UNVA) and distance corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) at 40 cm. Binocular best-corrected defocus curve analysis in the range +2 to -4, halo and glare simulation, contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions were also evaluated 3 months after surgery.

Results

Mean binocular visual acuity in logMAR at 3 months follow-up was UDVA/ CDVA (-0.02/ -0.07), UIVA/ DCIVA (0.03/ 0.02) and UNVA/ DCNVA (0.16/ 0.26). Results indicate that the Tecnis PureSee IOL performs comparably to standard monofocal lenses in terms of halo/glare simulation. The contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions is within normal age limits.

Conclusions

This study showed good visual acuity and reduced photopic phenomena. In particular, patients reported little or no photopic phenomena in terms of halo and glare simulation. The IOL power calculation for the Tecnis PureSee IOL and the implantation behaviour are uncomplicated.
