PEREZ CANDELARIA, Eneida et al. The quality of vision in patients operated on from cataract and implanted with OcuFlex multifocal intraocular lenses. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2010, vol.23, suppl.2, pp. 678-690. ISSN 0864-2176.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the quality of vision in 8 patients, who were operated on from bilateral cataract using Phaco-chop technique and implanted with Ocuflex multifocal intraocular lens in "Ramón Pando Ferrer" Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from September 2007 to February 2008. METHODS: A prospective, longitudinal, observational and descriptive study was made in which the variables spheral equivalent, contrast sensitivity in the pre- and post-operative periods, visual phenomena, centration and location of the intraocular lens and the subjective level of satisfaction of the patients were analyzed. The Excel Microsoft and Word 2003 for XP Windows-supported summary statistics were used. RESULTS: The postoperative average spheral equivalent was -0,59. For low and medium frequencies in binocular vision, average contrast sensitivity was 1,12 log unit in the preoperative and 1,74 log unit in the postoperative. The slit lamp-based biomicroscopy showed that 100% of cases had their intraocular lens centered and the ultrasound biomicroscopy yielded that in 93,75% of cases, the ILO was in the capsular sac. None of the patients mentioned the glare whereas just one patient (12,5%) reported night halo vision. All the patients were satisfied. CONCLUSIONS: The multifocal lenses reduce the dependence of patients on glasses after cataract surgery. Therefore, this is a good choice for the recovery of optimal visual function.
