Objective:

Describe the clinical results obtained with the Acriva Trinova trifocal lens.

Methods:

An observational descriptive longitudinal prospective study was conducted of the visual results of 6 patients (12 eyes) undergoing crystalline lens surgery by phaco-chop technique and implantation of a trifocal intraocular lens model Acriva Trinova at Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology in November 2017. The variables analyzed were age, sex, visual acuity with and without correction at various distances, spherical equivalent, contrast sensitivity, dysphotopsia symptoms and patient satisfaction.

Results:

Mean age was 54.5 years and most eyes (91.7 %) had a hyperopic spherical component. Postoperative recovery was observed of far monocular visual acuity without correction with a mean of 0.90. In binocular vision without correction improvement was achieved of both intermediate vision (half the patients were able to read a J1) and near vision (83.3 % were able to read a J2 or better). Mean postoperative spherical equivalent was 0.38 D ± 0.29. All the patients in the study expressed satisfaction with their visual results. The contrast sensitivity results obtained with the lens met normality criteria.

Conclusions:

Implantation of this trifocal lens reduces dependence on eyeglasses after crystalline lens surgery and improves the quality of life of patients.
