Preoperative Higher-Order Aberrations as Predictors of Visual Acuity Changes Following Presbyopia-Correcting (PCIOL) and Aspheric Monofocal Intraocular Lens Implantation

Purpose

To determine if preoperative ocular higher order aberrations (HOAs) were associated with changes in uncorrected distance (UCDVA), intermediate (UCIVA), near (UCNVA), corrected distance at reduced contrast (CDVA 10% and 25%) logMAR acuities after PCIOL or aspheric IOL implantation. Patients and Methods: Records of patients implanted with AcrySof IQ PanOptix (group I, n = 30), TECNIS Symfony (group II, n = 35), TECNIS bifocal (group III, n = 34), or TECNIS monofocal (group IV, n = 32) were reviewed where UCDVA, reduced contrast CDVA (logMAR chart at 6 m), UCIVA and UCNVA (at 80 cm and 40 cm) assessed under photopic conditions (∼ 85 cd/m 2 ), ocular aberrations (under mesopic conditions, pupil sizes 3mm and 5mm), and refraction had been monitored.
