Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the outcome of cataract surgeries with implantation of intraocular trifocal toric lens, and to study the accuracy of astigmatism correction, lens rotational stability, and safety of the procedures.

Patients And Methods: Our study comprised 22 eyes of 16 patients who underwent unilateral or bilateral implantation of AT LISA tri toric 939MP, or its implantation in combination with AT LISA tri 839MP. Mean patient age was 58 ± 11 years (39 to 75 years). Mean follow-up was 5 months. Evaluated parameters were preoperative and postoperative decimal corrected (CDVA) and uncorrected (UDVA) distance visual acuity. Uncorrected near (UNVA) and intermediate (UIVA) visual acuity was obtained with Jaeger optotypes. Furthermore, we studied manifest refraction, amount of corneal astigmatism, implanted lens position, and potential complications. Using two types of questionnaires we surveyed patients on their subjective satisfaction with vision.

Results: Spherical equivalent changed from preoperative -1.32 ± 4.05 D (-9.25 to 4.00 D) to postoperative -0.23 ± 0.21 D (-0.75 to 0.00 D). Preoperative corneal astigmatism was -1.97 ± 0.76 D (-4.02 to -1.01 D), manifest astigmatism was -1.70 ± 1.26 D. After the surgery, manifest astigmatism significantly improved to -0.34 ± 0.37 D (p<0.001). Mean monocular UDVA increased from 0.26 ± 0.18 (0.05 to 0.60) to postoperative 0.88 ± 0.13 (0.60 to 1.00) (p<0.001). CDVA also improved significantly, from 0.57 ± 0.24 to a final value of 1.02 ± 0.07 (p<0.001). Mean postoperative monocular UNVA was Jaeger 1-2, UIVA corresponded to Jaeger 3-4.No serious complications were recorded. Based on the outcome of questionnaires, all patients are satisfied with their vision and they are independent of spectacles.

Conclusion: In the present study we have obtained very good functional outcomes of vision at far, near and intermediate in cataract patients after trifocal AT LISA tri toric lens implantation. Also, total astigmatism in studied eyes was substantially reduced. The treatment led to a high subjective satisfaction of patients and to their independence of spectacles.

Purpose: To evaluate patient-reported outcomes of cataract surgery using the Clareon Panoptix and Panoptix Toric trifocal lenses and to compare these to the data collected previously for the AcrySof Panoptix and Panoptix Toric.

Patients And Methods: Prospective, open-label, multicenter analysis of satisfaction, spectacle independence, presence of unwanted side effects, and best-corrected visual acuity among patients undergoing cataract surgery who had been implanted at least 1 month previously with the Clareon PanOptix or PanOptix Toric trifocal IOL bilaterally. Results were compared to outcomes measured two years ago from a similar study with the AcrySof version of the same lens.

Purpose: Report a case where the patient desired spectacle independence after phacoemulsification and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) due to Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy.

Observations: A 52-year-old female presented with corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) of 20/40 in both eyes with low ametropia. Slit lamp examination revealed corneal edema 1+/4+, guttae, and nuclear cataract 2+/4+ in both eyes.

Background: To explore intraocular lens (IOL) preferences of United Kingdom-based (UK) refractive surgeons in cataract and refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery.

Methods: An online survey on IOL preferences (and reasons for their choice) in cataract and RLE surgery was distributed. It also enquired about implementing mini-monovision with extended depth of field (EDoF) IOLs, about utilising IOL mix-and-match (different IOL types in each eye), and at what level of corneal astigmatism they prefer toric lenses.

A 65-year-old man had uneventful cataract surgery in the right eye with a toric diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) placed fully within the capsule bag. On postoperative day 1 and week 1, the IOL was well positioned and his eye was healing normally. The plan was to proceed with cataract surgery in the left eye in the near future.
