Brief Summary

Primary objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of premium monovision with Restor and Panoptix, against other prevalent monovision techniques and against bilateral Panoptix implantation in a sample of patients following lens-extraction surgery.

Detailed Description

Four study groups were formed according to the procedure and the intraocular lens technology that was used: a) Monovision Group (MoG), b) Multifocal Lens Group (MfG), c) Hybrid Monovision Group (HmG), and, d) Premium Monovision Group (PmG). Patients who have undergone one of the above categories of presbyopia correction surgery were selected to compare the effectiveness of these techniques by evaluating the uncorrected near, intermediate and distant visual acuity as well as the degree of subjective patient satisfaction, contrast sensitivity, dysphotopsia symptoms and spectacle independence .

Myopic monovisionbUD-VA,bUN-RA, bUI-RA, bUI-CPS, bUN-CPS, contrast sensitivityThe dominant eye defocus is targeted to -0.50 diopters while the recessive one to -1.25 diopters with bilateral implantation of monofocal intraocular lenses (SN60WF, Alcon)
Bilateral trifocal implantationbUD-VA,bUN-RA, bUI-RA, bUI-CPS, bUN-CPS, contrast sensitivityBilateral implantation of trifocal diffractive intraocular lenses (Panoptix, Alcon) targeting emmetropia
Hybrid monovisionbUD-VA,bUN-RA, bUI-RA, bUI-CPS, bUN-CPS, contrast sensitivityHybrid monovision combines a monofocal intraocular (SN60WF, Alcon) in the dominant eye and a trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (Panoptix, Alcon) in the recessive one
Premium monovisionbUD-VA,bUN-RA, bUI-RA, bUI-CPS, bUN-CPS, contrast sensitivityParticipants received a bifocal hybrid (refractive at the centre, diffractive at the periphery) intraocular lens (Restor +2.50 diopters, Alcon) in the dominant eye and a trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (Panoptix, Alcon) in the recessive one, targeting emmetropia in both eyes.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Binocular uncorrected distant visual acuity [bUD-VA]through study completion, an average of 2.5years

bUD-VA is obtained using the Greek version of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study Chart at four meters distance. This parameter is obtained six months following the operation of the second eye.

Binocular uncorrected intermediate reading acuity (at 60cm) [bUI-RA)]through study completion, an average of 2.5years

bUI-RA is obtained using the DDART reading test, which is based on the Greek version of MNREAD. This parameter is obtained six months following the operation of the second eye.

binocular uncorrected near reading acuity (at 40cm) [bUN-RA]through study completion, an average of 2.5years

bUN-RA is obtained using the DDART reading test, which is based on the Greek version of MNREAD. This parameter is obtained six months following the operation of the second eye.

binocular uncorrected intermediate critical print size (at 60cm) [bUI-CPS]through study completion, an average of 2.5years

bUI-CPS is obtained using the DDART reading test, which is based on the Greek version of MNREAD. This parameter is obtained six months following the operation of the second eye.

binocular uncorrected near critical print size (at 40cm )[bUN-CPS]through study completion, an average of 2.5years

bUN-CPS is obtained using the DDART reading test, which is based on the Greek version of MNREAD. This parameter is obtained six months following the operation of the second eye.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Dysphotopsia symptomsthrough study completion, an average of 2.5years

Dysphotopsia is evaluated with two direct 4-scale, Likert-type questions (Always, Most of the times, Sometimes, Never) pertaining on the subjective perception of glare and unwanted shadows. This parameter is obtained six months following the operation of the second eye.

Subjective satisfaction using Visual Function Index (VF-14 instrument) (total score, VF14-NV score & VF14-DV score)through study completion, an average of 2.5years

Subjective satisfaction rates are assessed using the prevalent VF-14 instrument. Further to the total VF-14 score assessment, two additional scores are calculated: a) Near vision VF score (VF14-NV) derived from items that assess the perceived difficulty in near vision activities (items 1,2,3,7,8,9 and 11), and, b) Distant vision VF score (VF14-DV) derived from items that assess the perceived difficulty of distant vision activities (items 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13 and 14).

VF-14 has a final score from 0 to 100. A score of 100 indicates able to do all applicable activities. A score of 0 indicates unable to do all applicable activities because of vision.

Contrast sensitivitythrough study completion, an average of 2.5years

Contrast sensitivity is evaluated with the Pelli-Robson test. This parameter is obtained six months following the operation of the second eye.

Spectacle independencethrough study completion, an average of 2.5years

Spectacle dependence is also evaluated for both distant and near vision by two direct 4-scale Likert-type questions (Always, Most of the times, Sometimes, Never). This parameter is obtained six months following the operation of the second eye.
