Clinical Outcomes with a New Trifocal Intraocular Lens

Abstract

The AT.LISA trifocal IOL provides excellent uncorrected distance, intermediate, and near visual outcomes.

A More Natural Way of Seeing: Visual Performance of Three Presbyopia Correcting Intraocular Lenses

“…This confirms the ability of the lenses to successfully restore the distance visual function, as also shown for different models of multifocal IOLs [5] [10]- [25]. A mean monocular UDVA of 0.05 ± 0.07 logMAR (decimal 0.89) was reported by Law et al [14] in patients bilaterally implanted with the ATLISA trifocal IOL. Kohnen et al [24] As expected, near visual acuity outcomes improved with increasing near addition of the IOL, with the FineVision IOL showing the best results, followed by ATLISA and Symfony.…”

“…None of the Symfony patients felt disabled by these symptoms. Law et al [14] found that 80% of patients reported difficulties associated to halo perception at 1 month after implantation of the ATLISA trifocal IOL. This percentage decreased to 40% at 6 months after surgery [14].…”

“…Law et al [14] found that 80% of patients reported difficulties associated to halo perception at 1 month after implantation of the ATLISA trifocal IOL. This percentage decreased to 40% at 6 months after surgery [14]. In another study with the same lens model, the most common visual symptom was halos, which were reported by 60% of the patients, followed by glare in 28% and starburst in 8% of the patients [24].…”

“…Marques and Ferreira [27] reported no significant differences in contrast sensitivity between eyes with the FineVision and eyes with the ATLISA IOL. Law et al [14] used the Pelli Robson test to measure CS in patients with the ATLISA IOL and found no differences between mesopic and photopic results. Also, the light distribution of the Symfony IOL between its best vision foci has been demonstrated to be more homogeneous and less vergence dependent under dim conditions compared to multifocal IOLs [28].…”

“…Kohnen et al [24] found in his study with the ATLISA trifocal IOL that 100% of the patients were independent of spectacles for distance and intermediate vision and 12% needed occasional near correction. Law et al [14] reported that a limited percentage of patients implanted with the same IOL had some difficulties to perform near and intermediate visual tasks without glasses, such as reading the newspaper or working with the computer [14]. In a study with the FineVision IOL, 80% of the patients were reported to be completely spectacle independent [25].…”
