Clinical outcomes with a trifocal intraocular lens: a multicenter study

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Biomedical Engineering
• Optics

Background:

• Presbyopia correction remains a significant challenge in refractive surgery.
• Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) aim to restore vision at multiple distances.
• Trifocal IOL designs offer a promising approach to pseudoaccommodation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the clinical results and safety of a novel trifocal intraocular lens (IOL).
• To assess the efficacy of the FineVision trifocal IOL in achieving pseudoaccommodation.
• To determine the visual outcomes at distance, intermediate, and near after trifocal IOL implantation.

Main Methods:

• A pilot observational study involving 99 patients (198 eyes).
• Implantation of the FineVision trifocal IOL by 12 experienced surgeons.
• Postoperative assessment of uncorrected and corrected visual acuity at distance, intermediate, and near.

Main Results:

• Excellent uncorrected visual acuity achieved: distance (0.01 ± 0.06 logMAR), intermediate (0.08 ± 0.10 logMAR), and near (0.00 ± 0.04 logMAR).
• Postoperative spherical equivalent was 0.11 ± 0.36 D, indicating good refractive outcomes.
• High safety profile observed with minimal residual refractive error.

Conclusions:

• The trifocal FineVision IOL successfully restores functional vision at near, intermediate, and distance.
• This trifocal IOL design is effective for achieving pseudoaccommodation.
• The study supports the use of the FineVision IOL for presbyopia correction.
