BUDAPEST, Hungary — Due to its innovative design, the multifocal Lentis Mplus LS-312 MF IOL from Oculentis provides effective presbyopia correction while maintaining natural contrast sensitivity and avoiding glare and image jumps, according to one surgeon.
The asymmetric design of the lens comprises a sector-shaped section of +3 D in the periphery that is used for near vision, while the rest of the optic is powered for distance vision.
"My group of 22 patients achieved a very good quality of reading vision. All of them were J3 or better, and many were J1. Intermediate vision was remarkably good, and distance vision was excellent. I noticed no loss of contrast sensitivity and minimal incidence of halos," Jorge L. Alió, MD, PhD, said at the winter meeting of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.
He noted that patients had no adaptation problems and that coma, which could potentially be created by this lens design, was not an issue.
