Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical performance of a new extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) and compare it to that of a distance-dominant diffractive multifocal IOL. METHODS: Patients implanted with an EDOF IOL (Mini Well; SIFI, Catania, Italy) inducing spherical aberration and with a multifocal IOL (ReSTOR SV25T; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) were analyzed. The following monocular parameters were investigated: corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA), reading speed, defocus curve, contrast sensitivity, and halos and glare as quantified by a simulator (Halo & Glare Simulator; Eyeland-Design Network GmbH, Vreden, Germany) and questionnaire. RESULTS: Twenty patients with the EDOF IOL and 37 with the multifocal IOL were enrolled. No statistically significant difference was observed for CDVA. The defocus curve of the EDOF IOL revealed no gaps for the intermediate range. Statistically significant differences were observed at −1.00 diopter (D) (EDOF IOL: 0.08 ± 0.09 logMAR; multifocal IOL: 0.21 ± 0.12 logMAR; P < .0001) and −1.50 D defocus (EDOF IOL: 0.15 ± 0.11 logMAR; multifocal IOL: 0.24 ± 0.13 logMAR; P = .0122). The reading speed at 40 cm was similar at all print sizes. The mean DCNVA was the same (EDOF IOL: 0.35 ± 0.14 logRAD, multifocal IOL: 0.35 ± 0.13 logRAD). No differences in contrast sensitivity were detected. According to the simulator, halos had a smaller mean size (P = .0439) and a lower mean intensity (P = .0222) with the EDOF IOL. No statistically significant differences were detected for glare size. CONCLUSIONS: The new EDOF IOL performed similarly to a multifocal IOL at distance and near but was superior at intermediate distances. [J Refract Surg. 2018;34(4):228–235.]Keywords
