One-year Results of Health-related and Vision-related Quality of Life After Clear Lens Extraction and Multifocal Intraocular Lens Implantation

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.

Visual acuity, defocus curve and patient satisfaction of a new hybrid EDOF-multifocal diffractive intraocular lens

“…6 Extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs, on the other hand, aim to extend the range of distant visual acuity to intermediate distance and allow an improved continuous visual acuity when compared with high visual acuity foci and in-between visual gaps that occur in multifocal IOLs. 7 Multiple studies demonstrated that both multifocal and EDOF IOLs provide good intermediate and near vision with significantly improving quality of life, 8–17 meanwhile comparative studies indicate that while multifocal IOLs generally have better near distance visual acuity scores, EDOF IOLs show better results in terms of intermediate vision and contrast sensitivity. 18–21…”

Comparative Analysis of a New Hybrid EDOF-Multifocal Diffractive Intraocular Lens with a Trifocal Diffractive Intraocular Lens

“…6 Extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs, on the other hand, aim to extend the range of distant visual acuity to intermediate distance and allow an improved continuous visual acuity when compared with high visual acuity foci and in-between visual gaps that occur in multifocal IOLs. 7 Multiple studies demonstrated that both multifocal and EDOF IOLs provide good intermediate and near vision with significantly improving quality of life, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] ). According to the manufacturers, this hybrid design could combine the near distance vision performance of a diffractive multifocal IOL with extended field of view and enhanced contrast sensitivity of an EDOF IOL to deliver continuous high-contrast vision from far to near distance.…”

Evaluating Changes in Apparent Chord Mu after Pharmacological Pupil Dilatation

“…With the constant improvements in surgical techniques, cataract and clear lens extraction surgeries have evolved into minimally invasive procedures with favorable visual outcomes [1, 2]. Patients often expect to become spectacle free after surgery; according to the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Clinical Survey in 2016, 43% of cataract surgeries are targeted for monovision [3], while refractive lens exchange is increasing in popularity for young presbyopic patients [4, 5].…”
