Purpose

To assess clinical visual performance and patient-reported satisfaction following bilateral implantation of a non-apodized diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (intraocular lens), the AcrySof ® IQ PanOptix ® Trifocal intraocular lens, in a real-world clinical setting in China.

Methods

This was a prospective, multicenter registry study including patients aged ≥ 18 years with bilateral age-related or complicated cataracts who underwent bilateral implantation of the PanOptix intraocular lens.

n = 137 patients
91.24%
Results
91.24%
nearly all patients saw clearly up close, mid-range, and far without glasses
n = 137 patients
More results

A total of 137 patients completed the 3-months postoperative follow-up.

At 3 months, the mean binocular UDVA, UIVA, and UNVA were 0.017 ± 0.086, 0.061 ± 0.110, and 0.061 ± 0.103 logMAR, respectively.

Refractive predictability was high, with 84.62% of eyes within ±0.50 D of emmetropia.

More results

Complete spectacle independence was reported by 96.90% of patients.

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

Bilateral implantation of the PanOptix trifocal intraocular lens provides excellent and early stable visual performance at distance, intermediate, and near in Chinese cataract patients.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

High refractive predictability and a high rate of spectacle independence are associated with substantial patient satisfaction in real-world clinical practice.
