Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the visual performance of the extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) to bifocal and spherical monofocal IOL

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was conducted from 2018 to 2020. This study included patients who were with presence of cataract in both eyes, age between 50 and 80 years, and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) of both eyes under 20/40. Phacoemulsification cataract surgery was arranged for both eyes for all patients. The study groups of IOL models include EDOF Symfony IOL (AMO, Santa Ana, CA, USA), bifocal Restor +2.5D IOL (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA), and monofocal Sensar AR40e IOL (AMO, Santa Ana, CA, USA). The patients were routinely examined preoperatively as well as 1 month after surgery for far and near visual acuity (in LogMAR unit). Contrast sensitivity, wavefront aberration and quality of vision questionnaire was measured at the 1-month postoperative visit. These aforementioned outcomes were recorded and compared between groups.

Bifocal group

Patients in bifocal group implanted with Restor +2.5D IOL (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA) in bilateral eyes

Clear corneal phacoemulsification and IOL implantation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Clear corneal phacoemulsification and IOL implantation were performed by 2 surgeons (Chao-Kai Chang and Hung-Yuan Lin) by using an identical technique to minimize differences in surgically induced aberrations between groups. The surgical process involved topical anesthesia, a 3-step clear corneal incision (2.75 mm) at 180° (temporal in both eyes), a 5.0-mm continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, phacoemulsification using the stop-and-chop technique, IOL implantation with an injector, IOL centration, and a sutureless incision. The study IOL models include EDOF Symfony IOL (AMO, Santa Ana, CA, USA), bifocal Restor +2.5D IOL (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA), and monofocal Sensar AR40e IOL (AMO, Santa Ana, CA, USA).

Extended depth of focus group
