Visual Outcomes Of An Extended Depth Of Field Iol With A Non-Diffractive Spiral Optic Iol

This analysis aims to present preliminary data on visual acuity and refractive outcomes of an extended depth of field IOL with a spiral non-diffractive optic design. Data from a single centre by one surgeon. 

Single Centre Data Collection Midland Eye, Solihull, UK from outcomes from the same surgeon.

The follow-up visit at six to eight weeks included monocular and binocular CDVA, UDVA (at 4 m), UIVA, DCIVA (at 66 cm), UNVA and DCNVA (at 40 cm). Patients were seen with examintation by the optometrist to collect the data required. All patients were collected consectively over a period of time with no complications happening during surgery. Standard postoperative care with steroid, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops were used. 

At six to eight weeks postoperative the monocular and binocular UDVA and CDVA were 0.00±0.09 and -0.04±0.07, -0,05±0.09 and -0.07±0.05, respectively.

Cumulatively 100% of patients achieved an uncorrected binocular VA of 0.2 logMAR or better for distance and 97,83% achieved a monocular UDVA, respectively. All patients achieved a CDVA of 0.2 logMAR or better monocularly and binocularly. A cumulative UIVA of N6 or better was achieved by 85.71% of patients binocularly and monocularly. A UNVA of N6 or better was achieved by 88.89% of patients binocularly and by 71.74% monocularly.

In our clinic the visual acuities showed good results monocularly and binocularly two months after IOL implantation. These findings may suggest that patients can reach a high level of spectacle independent visual performance.
