  2. Introduction • The use of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs) has increased over the years • Peer-reviewed literature shows that patients are highly satisfied • Online health forums seem to show otherwise • Is there a difference in satisfaction rates among males and females? • Are satisfaction rates in males and females affected by type of multifocal IOL implanted?

  3. Purpose • To evaluate the role of gender in patient satisfaction after routine cataract extraction and multifocal IOL (MIOL) implantation

  4. Methods • Retrospective chart review • Patients who underwent bilateral cataract extraction and implantation of a multifocal IOL • Telephone survey • Overall satisfaction, distance, intermediate, near, and night vision satisfaction were assessed using a scale from 0 (very dissatisfied) to 10 (highly satisfied) • Subjects were divided based on gender • Further analysis was done according to the lens implanted

  5. Results • A total of 112 subjects answered the survey UCDVA: uncorrected distance visual acuity UCNVA: uncorrected near visual acuity SE: spherical equivalent

  6. Results satisfied P < .044 P < .020 dissatisfied

  7. Results: Halos P = .386, Chi-square test

  8. Results: Glare P = .665, Chi-square test

  9. Results: Use of glasses P = .127, Chi-square test

  10. Satisfaction at different distances among different combination of multifocal IOLs Rs: ReSTOR IOL Rz: ReZoom IOL Asph: aspheric Bilat: bilateral

  11. Summary • Overall women are significantly more satisfied than men • Women are significantly more satisfied with their intermediate vision than men • Men tend to be more satisfied with the night time vision than women • No differences in distance or near vision

  12. Summary • Mix and match women tend to be more satisfied than men while bilateral ReZoom men are more satisfied than women • No differences between gender in • Halos • Glare • Use of glasses
