Trial summary

Multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) provide enhanced far and near visual acuity, but they can bring about halos and glare, which are caused by design deficiencies of the IOLs. Compared to monofocal intraocular lens, pseudo accommodation in nonphysiological state may increase the difficulty of neural compensation… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Neural Compensation, Visual Function and Visual Quality in Senile Cataract Patients After Monofocal or Multifocal Intraocular Lens Implantation

Multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) provide enhanced far and near visual acuity, but they can bring about halos and glare, which are caused by design deficiencies of the IOLs. Compared to monofocal intraocular lens, pseudo accommodation in nonphysiological state may increase the difficulty of neural compensation reconstruction in patients with multifocal intraocular lens implantation. Patients enrolled into the study will be followed for 1 year and will have study visits preoperatively, at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months postoperatively.In this trial, we aimed to specify the time of neural compensation reconstruction in patients and to explore the changes of visual function in senile patients with monofocal or multifocal intraocular lens implantation.

Read the detailed description

Cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation are the current standard treatments for age-related cataract (ARC). Cataract surgery increases visual acuity but may lead to complaints after surgery. Multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) provide enhanced far and near visual acuity, but they can bring about halos and glare, which are caused by design deficiencies of the IOLs. Fortunately, most of the halos and glare diminish with time. Niels et al noted that neural adaptation (NA) may explain the lower incidence of glare and halos in their study. Compared to monofocal intraocular lens, pseudo accommodation in nonphysiological state may increase the difficulty of neural compensation reconstruction in patients with multifocal intraocular lens implantation.

In the present study, the investigators evaluated the activity of neurons in the visual cortex using fMRI both preoperatively and postoperatively. In addition, the investigators evaluated postoperative changes in VF, including visual acuity (VA), contrast sensitivity (CS), straylight values (SVs), and pattern visual evoked potential (PVEP), stereoscopic vision, wavefront aberrations at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months postoperatively.In this trial, the investigators aimed to specify the time of neural compensation reconstruction in patients and to explore the changes of visual function in senile patients with monofocal or multifocal intraocular lens implantation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • multifocal intraocular lens implantationProcedure or surgery

    In this group, the surgery was performed with cataract extraction and multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) (Tecnis ZMB00). The standard technique in all patients consisted of sutureless phacomulsifacation using the Legacy 2000 Series and Infinity phacoemulsification machine (Alcon Laboratories Inc., Fort Worth, Texas, USA), with clear corneal incisions up to 3.2 mm and 5.0 to 5.5 mm capsulorhexis. Surgery in the fellow eye was performed 1 month later in each patient.

  • monofocal intraocular lens implantationProcedure or surgery

    In the group, the surgery was performed with cataract extraction and monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) (Tecnis ZCB). The surgery technique was same as the multifocal intraocular lens group

  • DexamethasoneDrug

    All patients received subconjunctival dexamethasone (2 mg) during surgery
