Effect of Spherical Equivalent Error on Visual Acuity at Various Distances in Eyes With a Trifocal Intraocular Lens

Abstract: PURPOSE: To examine the effect of manifest refraction spherical equivalent error on visual acuity at various distances in eyes that received a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS: Sixty eyes of 30 patients who underwent bilateral implantation of a trifocal IOL (Alcon PanOptix TFNT00; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) were enrolled. Corrected visual acuity from far to near distances was measured using an all-distance vision tester after simu… Show more

“…Previous studies with earlier formulas recommended targeting myopic due to hyperopic refractive surprise when calculating IOL power in eyes with previous corneal refractive surgery [27][28][29][30][31] . Recent studies have reported that it is good to make the postoperative MR close to emmetropia in eyes having general corneal curvature, and the same results were reported for eyes which have undergone corneal refractive surgery 32,33 . However, targeting slightly myopic may improve near vision without compromising distant vision, especially in high myopic patients, which is the case in the real world practice.…”

“…Because the trifocal IOL has a large VA peak curve at intermediate distances, near VA did not worsen because of myopic shift of the VA curve. 24 The bifocal IOL has a large VA curve at far distance, thus intermediate VA did not worsen markedly.…”

“…Because the multifocal structure of trifocal IOLs is more complex than that of bifocal IOLs, however, light diffraction into the eye is more intricate with trifocal IOLs. 7,23 Accordingly, the intricate light diffraction with trifocal IOLs tends to worsen the effects of astigmatism on distance VA. Additionally, probably because the VA peak curve at far distance is narrow with trifocal IOLs, 24 the myopic refractive shift due to astigmatism is likely to impair distance VA.…”

“…Regarding target refraction in eyes with this type of lenses, Hayashi et al published a study suggesting that slight myopia is a better target refraction than slight hyperopia, although emmetropia is the optimum target ( 33 ). In this study, the minus diopter closest to zero was also targeted, and the postoperative spherical equivalent to it was compared, in order to obtain the RPE for each formula.…”
