Purpose
To evaluate the incidence of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and the prevalence of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy following implantation of a trifocal AT LISA intraocular lens.
Setting
Retina Total Eye Care, Driebergen, The Netherlands.
Methods
A total of 704 eyes of 352 patients who underwent bilateral implantation of a trifocal intraocular lens (AT LISA tri 839/939) were included in this study. Patients underwent surgery from May 2020 until October 2024. PCO incidence, time to onset and Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy rates were evaluated. Patient satisfaction and occurence of dysphotopsias were also analyzed.
Results
Of the implanted intraocular lenses, 52.1% were toric. Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy for PCO was performed in 18.3% of eyes after a mean of 19.9 months (SD ± 12.2). The study population was 56% female, with a mean age of 57.3 years (SD ± 5.6). Subgroup analysis with the Chi-Square test showed no significant difference in PCO risk between males and females (p = 0.54). Patient satisfaction was high, with a mean score 8.14 (SD ± 1.4), and 34.1% of patients reported halos.
Conclusions
Trifocal AT LISA intraocular lens implantation was associated with an average rate of posterior capsule opacification, high patient satisfaction, and a relatively low incidence of dysphotopsia.
