Purpose: To evaluate visual outcomes and patient-reported results after bilateral femtosecond-laser-assisted refractive lens exchange (RLE) with the implantation of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens.
Design: Prospective interventional case series.
Methods: A study of 27 patients (54 eyes) implanted with the Clareon PanOptix (Alcon) multifocal intraocular lens during femtosecond-laser-assisted RLE in a university hospital setting.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed data from over 2500 intraocular lens (IOL) explantations to determine the causes and characteristics of explantation within the first year after implantation.
- The study found that 1.9% of IOLs were explanted early, mainly due to dislocation, visual intolerance, opacification, and intraoperative complications, with the fastest explantations occurring due to intraoperative issues.
- The findings suggest that there are areas for improvement in IOL design and implantation techniques, especially concerning intraoperative damages and early calcification of hydrophilic IOLs.
