Patients reported satisfaction with distance and intermediate vision after implantation of a new shape-segmented enhanced depth of focus IOL.
In a study performed at Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Germany, 22 patients between the ages of 55 and 85 years were bilaterally implanted with the Lentis Comfort LS-313 MF15 IOL (Oculentis). The lens combines refractive bifocality with enhanced depth of focus, obtained through the correction of chromatic and spherical aberrations.
All patients had standard sutureless 2.2-mm incision phacoemulsification surgery, and the lens was implanted through the main incision. Lens power was assessed using the Haigis formula with optimized A-constants provided by the manufacturer, targeting emmetropia.
At 3 months, a mean uncorrected distance acuity of 0.07 ± 0.10 logMAR and intermediate acuity of 0.21 ± 0.15 logMAR were achieved. A lower performance was obtained at reading distances, with a mean near vision of 0.53 ± 0.15 logMAR.
In a questionnaire, the majority of patients said they were satisfied with their outcomes at distance and intermediate, and all but two patients did not report glare, halos or other photic phenomena. No adverse events or complications were reported, and the lens showed good rotational stability.
“A micro-monovision setting for the IOL could be assessed to improve the visual acuity performance at near distance while maintaining the intermediate and far distances,” the authors said. – by Michela Cimberle
