Standard Clinical Outcomes With a New Low Addition Trifocal Intraocular Lens

PURPOSE: To evaluate the standard clinical outcomes, defocus curves, and satisfaction obtained with a new diffractive low addition trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS: Thirty patients who were implanted with the Versario Multifocal 3F IOL (Valeant Med Sp.zo.o., Warsaw, Poland) were recruited for a prospective observational study at Qvision, Vithas Virgen del Mar Hospital, Almeria, Spain. Variables for reporting standard outcomes were collected at the 1-month visit for monocular vision and the 3-month visit for binocular vision, including best spectacle refraction and corrected and uncorrected visual acuities at far, intermediate (67 cm), and near (40 cm) distances. In addition, monocular and binocular visual acuity defocus curves were measured and questionnaires for grading subjective visual quality, satisfaction, and visual function were supplied at the end of the follow-up. RESULTS: Monocular corrected distance visual acuity decreased progressively from far (-0.05 logMAR) to near (0.25 logMAR) and improved approximately -0.1 logMAR along the defocus curve in binocular vision. The mean residual spherical equivalent (SE) was 0.15 +/- 0.47 diopters (D), with 79% of eyes within +/- 0.50 D and 97% within +/- 1.00 D with the SRK/T formula. All of the visual function tasks improved after surgery, especially driving at night, which increased from 58 to 79 (P < .05). Of 27 patients, 84.4% were satisfied or very satisfied with their general vision. CONCLUSIONS: This new lens was similar in terms of visual performance and satisfaction to other trifocal IOLs. It can be classified as a trifocal extended depth of focus IOL because of the performance between extended depth of focus IOLs and medium-high addition trifocal IOLs.
