Subjective Perception Of Trifocal IOL Performance, Including Toric Models

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Biomedical Engineering
• Vision Science

Background:

• Trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) offer a promising solution for presbyopia correction.
• Patient perception and satisfaction are crucial metrics for evaluating the success of IOL implantation.
• The Panoptix™ trifocal IOL is designed to provide improved visual outcomes across multiple focal planes.

Purpose of the Study:

• To assess patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction with the Panoptix™ trifocal IOL.
• To evaluate the performance of trifocal IOLs in terms of visual acuity and spectacle independence.
• To explore factors influencing patient satisfaction with trifocal IOLs.

Main Methods:

• A study involving 35 patients (60 eyes) implanted with Panoptix™ trifocal IOLs.
• Collection of refractive and visual data (uncorrected and corrected distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities).
• Patient questionnaires on satisfaction, spectacle independence, and performance in various visual activities.

Main Results:

• High patient satisfaction (mean 85.7%) and spectacle independence (mean 96.0%) were reported.
• Excellent visual acuities were achieved: distance (0.09 LogMAR), intermediate (0.05 LogMAR), and near (0.04 LogMAR).
• No statistically significant differences in outcomes were found between non-toric and toric models, genders, or unilateral vs. bilateral implantations.

Conclusions:

• The Panoptix™ trifocal IOL provides a high level of patient satisfaction, enhancing various visual functions.
• Patient satisfaction is achieved irrespective of gender, IOL model, age, or unilateral implantation.
• Trifocal IOLs represent an effective option for achieving spectacle independence and improving quality of life.
