Analysis of the results of implanting intraocular lens with low-addition power and asymmetric optics

The purpose of the study is to analyze clinical and functional treatment outcomes and usefulness of visual rehabilitation in patients implanted with IOL Lentis Comfort. Material and Methods. 64 patients were examined. Patients of group one underwent cataract phacoemulsification with IOL Lentis Comfort implantation, patients of group two were implanted with IOL Acrysof Restor. Non-corrected and corrected distance visual acuity, for intermediate distance (70 sm) and near visual acuity (30-40 sm) were examined on the 2nd day, in a month and in 6 months postoperatively. In 6 months after surgery subjective assessment of patients' satisfaction with the quality of vision was conducted using a questionnaire. Results. High distance visual acuity was revealed in both groups, visual acuity for intermediate distance was significantly higher in patients of group one, near visual acuity was higher in patients of group two. According to the questionnaire results patients of both groups did not experience difficulties in working and driving during the day, at night, patients of group two were much more likely to report difficulties in driving a car and undesirable light phenomena. Conclusion. Implantation of IOL with low-addition power and asymmetric optics provides high quality vision at various distances. The low level of undesirable light phenomena contributes to rapid adaptation of patients in the postoperative period.
