Abstract
Purpose
To compare the long-term decentration and tilt in two multifocal intraocular lenses (MfIOLs) with an OPD-Scan III aberrometer.
Methods
Eighty cataract patients who underwent uneventful MfIOL implantation (42 with AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® SN6AD1 and 38 with AMO Tecnis® ZMB00) were enrolled. At 1 year after surgery, a postoperative visual acuity evaluation included the measurement of uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, distance-corrected near visual acuity, and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity. OPD-Scan III aberrometer was used to collect the decentration, tilt, and high-order aberration (HOA) data. Significance was tested with Student’s t test, Mann–Whitney U test, paired t test, and χ2 test
Results
The average intraocular tilt was lower in the SN6AD1 group than in the ZMB00 group, whereas the average decentration of the two groups did not differ significantly. The mean total ocular HOAs, ocular trefoil, total internal HOAs, and spherical aberrations were significantly lower in the SN6AD1 group than in the ZMB00 group. In both the SN6AD1 and ZMB00 groups, the intraocular tilt was directly proportional to the total ocular HOAs, coma, and spherical aberration. However, there was no significant correlation between decentration and any type of HOA in SN6AD1 group, whereas decentration correlated positively with total ocular HOAs, coma, and spherical aberration in ZMB00 group.
Conclusion
Both MfIOLs significantly improve the visual acuity of the patients. However, tilt was lower in the SN6AD1 group than in the ZMB00 group 1 year after surgery, which provide fewer HOAs and better visual quality.
