“… 1 The possible symptoms are diverse and include neuromuscular symptoms like muscular weakness and myotonia as well as cardiac conduction defects, respiratory insufficiency and endocrine disturbances. 2 Muscular atrophy can lead to a typical appearance referred to as ‘facies myopathica’ and a cachectic habitus. A receding hairline is another typical physical trait.…”

“…Ptosis and lagophthalmos due to a weakness of the facial musculature can be present. 2 , 3 Maculopathy associated to MD1 has been reported 4 as well as capsulorhexis contraction after cataract surgery in patients suffering from MD 1 5 . The early onset of cataract can lead to the necessity to perform cataract surgery at a young age in those patients.…”

Purpose We present the case of a 36-year old Curschmann-Steinert myotonic dystrophy patient with posterior subcapsular cataract that we treated with unilateral implantation of an extended depth of focus intraocular lens to address his wish for spectacle independence at far and intermediate distance. Observations The patient underwent phacoemulsification with subsequent implantation of the AcrySof IQ Vivity IOL (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA) in his left eye. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) on the left eye increased from +0.40 logMAR preoperatively to −0.12 logMAR at 3 months postoperatively. At the three months follow-up distance corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) at 80 cm distance was −0.08 logMAR and DCIVA at 66 cm distance was 0.14 logMAR for the left eye. The defocus curve showed a functional defocus of 2.0 diopters at 0.2 logMAR or better, corresponding to the extended depth of focus. Dysphotopsia evaluation with a Halo & Glare simulator (Eyeland-Design Network GmbH, Vreden, Germany) revealed a very low level of photic phenomena. Conclusions and Importance Unilateral implantation of a new generation, non-diffractive extended depth of focus IOL was well tolerated and provided good functional results for far and intermediate distances. The patient reported a very low level of photic phenomena.

“…Steinert's muscular dystrophy (DM1) is a disease characterized by a progressive decline in the muscle activity (Papageorgiou et al, 2007), owing to the replacement of the muscle fibers by the adipose tissue and an increase in the connective tissue between them, and the major signs of the disease are accompanied by a multisystemic commitment (Schneider et al, 2001). The decrease in the muscle activity is expressed clinically in the so-called myotonic phenomenon, characterized by a slow postisometric muscle relaxation and a decrease in the strength of the bite and hands (Gunkel et al, 2000 andGuimarães et al, 2010).…”
