Clinical Evaluation of Multifocal Intraocular Lens: OPTIVIS.TM (MFIOL)
Cataract Senile, Lenses, Intraocular
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Cataract Senile focused on measuring OptiVis, hybrid multifocal intraocular lens, multifocal intraocular lens, presbyopia
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- senile cataract with Snellen visual acuity ≤ 0.5,
- motivation for spectacle independence for near vision (as the study was conducted in Spanish public health care system, entering study was the only option to get multifocal lens, as they are not provided by public health care, and the patients were conscious of the possibility of randomization to monofocal group.)
Exclusion Criteria:
- corneal astigmatism ≥ 1.10 diopters (D) and irregular astigmatism,
- axial length < 21.5 or ≥ 25 mm,
- pupillary diameter in mesopic conditions in distance vision ≤ 2.5 mm and ≥ 6 mm,
- ocular pathology that could affect the visual function and/or intraocular lens centering and intraoperative or postoperative complications.
- highly demanding patients and those whose profession could be affected by a multifocal design (professional drivers, jewelers etc.) were also excluded (as in the Spanish public health care system secondary procedures needed to satisfy patients' expectation, such as LRI´s, LASIK, PRK´s, are not available).

Multifocal IOL (OptiVis)
Monofocal IOL
Ambulatory surgery was performed by the same, experienced surgeon, under topical anesthesia, using as a technique phacoemulsification with small incision (2.75) in clear cornea in the most curved meridian. The randomly assigned IOL (in this arm: a hybrid (refractive-diffractive) multifocal IOL (OptiVis, Aaren Scientific) was implanted in the capsular bag. The second eye with the same type of lens of the first eye was operated within 2-4 weeks.
