CHICAGO — Three U.S-approved IOLs for the correction of presbyopia demonstrated good visual outcomes after implantation in eyes with previous refractive surgery, said Renee Solomon, MD.

She presented data from a series of 12 eyes with previous refractive surgery that were implanted with the Alcon AcrySof ReStor, the Advanced Medical Optics ReZoom or the eyeonics crystalens posterior chamber IOL. Seven eyes were implanted with the ReStor, two with the ReZoom and three with the crystalens.

There were no reported objective or subjective complications from the IOL implantation, Dr. Solomon said. Near uncorrected visual acuity was superior for the ReStor lens, she said, and midrange UCVA was superior for the crystalens and the ReZoom lens.

Patient satisfaction was similar for all three lenses, with scores of 8 to 9 on a scale of 10 for all three.

“Before implantation of these lenses, you need to address the risk of glare and halos and that best corrected visual acuity may not be as good,” Dr. Solomon cautioned.

She presented her results at Refractive Subspecialty Day preceding the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.
