Visual outcomes and subjective satisfaction quotient of a multifocal intraocular lens in Indian population

Abstract

Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are designed to overcome the postoperative lack of accommodation by dividing the incoming light onto two or more focal points. One of these is used for distance vision, the other for near or intermediate vision. These IOLs reduce the need for spectacle correction in daily life [1]. However, good refractive outcomes and low residual astigmatism after surgery are crucial to success. Therefore, accurate biometry and good patient selection are the keys to success. this article is available in open access under Creative Common attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) license, allowing to download articles and share them with others as long as they credit the authors and the publisher, but without permission to change them in any way or use them commercially

Evaluation of long-term changes in physicochemical properties of hydrophobic intraocular lenses in a laboratory model

“…The coexistence of these two factors, i.e., the high level of glistening and protein adsorption, slightly affected the light transmittance of the examined IOLs, which as a result of extreme incubation test conditions, decreased only by about 10.0%. However, this should not negatively impact the overall quality of vision because the decrease was consistent throughout the visible range [32,33]. The presence of the albumin layer on the surface of hydrophobic IOLs reduced visible light transmission compared to non-degraded IOLs, mainly for Tecnis® and Acry-Sof® IQ SN60WF (Fig.…”
