Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) improve vision after cataract surgery, but complications like blurred vision can occur. Careful patient selection and preoperative assessment are key to maximizing satisfaction with multifocal IOLs.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are widely adopted for managing pseudophakic presbyopia.
  • Successful implantation typically results in spectacle independence and high patient satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the common complications associated with multifocal IOLs.
  • To identify factors influencing patient satisfaction and visual outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on multifocal IOLs.
  • Analysis of reported complications and their causes.
  • Discussion of preoperative assessment and patient selection strategies.

Main Results:

  • Common complications include blurred vision and photic phenomena.

  • Contributing factors are residual ametropia, posterior capsule opacification, large pupils, and lens decentration.
  • Failure to neuroadapt, lens dislocation, and opacification are primary reasons for dissatisfaction.

    • Conclusions:

    • Optimizing outcomes requires thorough preoperative evaluation, including lifestyle assessment, biometry, topography, and pupil reactivity.
    • Managing patient expectations regarding visual outcomes and potential complications is crucial for satisfaction.
