Clinical Comparative Study of Aspheric and Spherical Intraocular Lenses (All authors have no competing interest to declare. ) Bing Du, Xunqing GU Shenzhen Eye Hospital Shenzhen, Guangdong, China
Purpose: • To compare contrast sensitivity and visual quality on pseudophakic patients with an upgraded prolate aspheric intra-ocular lens (IOL) and the patients with a conventional spherical intra-ocular lens.
Methods: • 187 cases with age-related cataract from April 2006 to August 2008 in our hospital were divided into two groups and underwent phaocoemulsification with an aspheric IOL or a spherical IOL randomly. One month post-surgery, the best corrected visual acuity, the contrast sensitivity with and without glare and the aberration were recorded.
Results: • The best corrected visual acuity had no statistic significant difference between these two groups (P=0.074) .
The contrast sensitivity of 3, 6, 12, and 18 cyc/deg had statistic significant difference (P=0.000). The contrast sensitivity of the aspheric IOL group was higher than that of the other group with and without glare. (A for the aspheric IOL group, S for the spherical IOL group.)
There was statistical difference in the two groups in the aberration (P=0.000). In the aberration, the spherical IOL group was higher than aspheric IOL group.
Conclusion: • Compared to spheric IOL, the aspheric IOL may reduce the aberration and increase the contrast sensitivity, and improve visual performance of pseudophakic eyes.
