Functional Assessment of ADL in Patients Who Underwent Bifocal and Trifocal Presbyopic Correction

Conditions
Presbyopia
Registration Number
NCT03021512
Lead Sponsor
Democritus University of Thrace
Brief Summary

Patients who underwent bilateral bifocal or trifocal lenses implantation for presbyopia correction with monofocal intraocular lenses implantation are supposed to have sufficient uncorrected vision capacity for activities of daily living (ADLs) that require: a) distant vision (DV), (ie. driving), b) intermediate vision (IV), (ie. computer word processing), c) near vision (NV), (ie. book reading). Primary objective of the study is the comparison in a series of ADLs of two cohorts of patients (group 1: subjects with bilateral bifocal lenses implantation, group 2: subjects with bilateral trifocal lenses implantation)

Assessment of Visual capacity (VC)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Distant Visual Capacity (DVC)1 year following surgery

Visual capacity for activities that require distant vision (DVC). DVC score will be measured by the performance score in the following ADLs: a) walking specific pathway, 2) walking up stairs, 3) walking down stairs, 4) day-time driving simulation, 5) night-time driving simulation

Intermediate Visual Capacity (IVC)1 year following surgery

Visual Capacity for activities that require intermediate vision (IVC). VC score will be measured by the performance score in the following ADLs: a) reading ability of movie subtitles, b) reading ability of a predefined computer screen text, c) reading a supermarket badge

Near Visual Capacity (NVC)1 year follwoing surgery

Visual Capacity for activities that require near vision (NVC). NVC score will be measured by the performance score in the following ADLs: a) cellular phone directory entry search, b) reading of message in a cellular phone, c) reading a medical prescription, d) reading a public phonebook
