Refractive and Visual Results and Vision-Related Quality of Life After Implantation of Aspheric Diffractive-Refractive Multifocal IOL in High Myopic and High Hyperopic Eyes Dr Arvind Venkataraman MD, MRCO Vasan Eye Care Hospital, Chennai, India
Purpose To assess the differences in refractive and visual results and Vision-Related Quality of Life (VR-QOL) in eyes with high hyperopia and high myopia after implantation of a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).
Method • A prospective study was performed on 42 eyes implanted with the AcryLisa IOL. • Two groups were created: high hyperopia (> +3 D; 19 eyes) and high myopia(> -5D; 23 eyes). • Monocular uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity for distance and near was recorded, as well as contrast sensitivity (CS) under photopic, mesopic, and scotopic conditions. • All measurements were performed at 1 month after surgery. • National Eye Institute 25-item Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) 4-6 weeks following surgery to assess VR-QOL.
Results • CS for high hyperopic eyes under photopic conditions was better than that of myopes. • Differences between both groups were statistically significant for photopic, mesopic and scotopic contrast measurements. • The VR-QOL was similar in both the myopic and hyperopic groups.
Conclusion • The visual acuity and CS for both distance and near, with and without distance correction were statistically better in eyes with high hyperopia than that of myopia. • But VRQOL showed no statistically significant difference in these patients.
