TL;DR

The CNWTTx lens results in excellent visual acuities at distance, intermediate, and near, leading to high rates of spectacle independence and patients are subjectively satisfied with their visual outcomes.

Abstract

Purpose Describe visual outcomes, rotational stability, and patient experience with a new, trifocal, toric intraocular lens (IOL), CNWTTx (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX.) Patients and methods Prospective, cohort study in a private practice in Salt Lake City, UT. Patients 45 years and older with visually significant cataracts, bilateral regular corneal astigmatism requiring a T3‐T6 IOL power lens, no other significant eye disease undergoing sequential cataract surgery with Clareon PanOptix Toric IOL (CNWTTx) followed for 3 months postoperatively. Primary endpoints: monocular corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), distance‐corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA), and distance‐corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA). Secondary endpoints: rotational position of the IOL and a patient satisfaction survey. Results Twenty‐five patients were recruited into the study and 22 received bilateral Clareon PanOptix Toric IOLs. At 3‐month postoperative visit, visions were monocular mean CDVA of LogMAR (LM) 0.004, mean DCIVA of LM 0.110, and mean DCNVA of LM 0.056. 89% of patients had 0.5 diopters or less of residual astigmatism. Mean lens rotation was 1.67° at 1 month, and no lenses had rotated more than 5°. The majority of patients “never” used glasses at near (88%), at arm’s length (100%) and at a distance (92%). In spite of 25% of patients noting photopic phenomena either “most of the time” or “always,” a majority (88%) of patients were either “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their vision, and 92% would have the same lens implanted again. Conclusion The CNWTTx lens results in excellent visual acuities at distance, intermediate, and near, leading to high rates of spectacle independence. The lens is rotationally stable, and patients are subjectively satisfied with their visual outcomes.

Functional Visual Outcomes After Implantation of Refractive Segmental Multifocal Rotational Asymmetric Intraocular Lens.

This segmental multifocal intraocular lens provides good visual acuity at all distances, particularly providing good intermediate visual acuity and depth of focus, and showed good contrast sensitivity and high spectacle independence with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Clinical Outcomes after Bilateral Mix-and-Match Implantation of Extended Depth of Focus and Trifocal Intraocular Lenses

Bilateral mix-and-match implantation of EDOF and trifocal IOL implantation showed good visual outcomes for distance, intermediate, and near vision until 12 months, while more than 70% of patients consistently reported that they would recommend the surgery to others.

Visual, Refractive, and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Unilateral Implantation of a Rotationally Asymmetric Refractive Multifocal IOL.

PURPOSE To evaluate visual, refractive, and quality-of-vision outcomes after unilateral cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange (RLE) with implantation of a rotationally asymmetric refractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL), including the LENTIS Mplus LS-313 MF30 and LENTIS MplusX. METHODS Thirty-nine patients who underwent unilateral lens extraction (24 for cataract, 15 for RLE) with LENTIS Mplus multifocal IOL implantation were analyzed. Examinations were performed preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 3, and 6 months, and at the final follow-up. Distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity, refraction, wavefront aberrations, contrast sensitivity, defocus curves, and Quality of Vision questionnaire scores were assessed. RESULTS At the final visit, 60.72 ± 37.75 months postoperatively, mean uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity were 0.10 ± 0.23 and 0.01 ± 0.08 logMAR, respectively. Mean uncorrected and corrected near visual acuity were 0.10 ± 0.11 and 0.09 ± 0.17 logMAR, respectively. Mean uncorrected intermediate, corrected distance intermediate, and corrected distance near visual acuity were 0.12 ± 0.14, 0.12 ± 0.07, and 0.12 ± 0.15 logMAR, respectively. Defocus curves demonstrated broad functional vision across distance, intermediate, and near ranges. Contrast sensitivity and quality-of-vision outcomes suggested generally mild visual disturbances. CONCLUSION Unilateral implantation was well tolerated, with favorable monocular and binocular performance, high refractive predictability, and minimal optical side effects.

Visual performance and patient-reported outcomes of a non-apodized diffractive trifocal intraocular lens in Chinese cataract patients: a prospective multicenter real-world study

Bilateral implantation of the PanOptix trifocal IOL provides excellent and early stable visual performance at distance, intermediate, and near in Chinese cataract patients and high refractive predictability and a high rate of spectacle independence are associated with substantial patient satisfaction in real-world clinical practice.
