Clinical Outcomes Following Bilateral Implantation of a Next-Generation Intraocular Lens in Patients with Primary...

To evaluate the clinical outcomes following bilateral TECNIS Odyssey implantation in eyes with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) targeted for plano.

This was a retrospective, single-site, single arm, observational study of visual outcomes following bilateral TECNIS Odyssey implantation in eyes with POAG. Outcome measures included monocular and binocular uncorrected and distance corrected visual acuities at distance (UDVA, CDVA) and near (UNVA, DCNVA; 40 cm), manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) and patient self-reported spectacle independence.

Data from a total of 26 patients were included. The percentage of eyes achieving 20/25 or better was 90% (47/52) for UDVA, 87% (44/52) for UNVA, and 98% (51/52) for CDVA. The percentages of eyes with ≤ 0.5 D of MRSE and residual astigmatism were 100% (52/52) and 100% (52/52), respectively. For self-reported spectacle independence, 8% (2/26) of subjects reported using glasses for near. In addition, 8% (2/26) of subjects reported moderate halos.

The results of this study suggest that patients with POAG implanted with the Odyssey IOL had good photopic visual acuity at distance, and near, excellent refractive outcomes, high levels of spectacle independence, and low levels of halos.
