Prospective functional and clinical comparison of bilateral ReZoom and ReSTOR intraocular lenses in patients 70 years or younger

Abstract: Both multifocal IOL designs provided excellent UCVA. ReSTOR patients had better clinical and functional vision at near and comparable clinical and functional intermediate performance. Halos were more severe in the ReZoom group. Although the ReSTOR IOL gave higher rates of spectacle freedom, patient satisfaction was high in both groups.

“…1 In refractive MIOLs, halo or glare symptoms are more prominent than in diffractive MIOLs because of light scattering at the transitional zone between the distant and near focus of the MIOL. 2 In addition, the near visual acuity (VA) when using refractive MIOLs tends to depend on pupil size because of the near focus zone of the MIOL being concentrically allocated.…”

“…Researchers have noted these factors, and some studies have analyzed the governing factors for patient satisfaction after implantation of multifocal IOLs. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Causes associated with photic phenomena noted in previous studies have included IOL decentration, retained lens fragment, posterior capsular opacification, dry-eye syndrome, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), use of spectacles for distance purposes, postoperative astigmatism, and postoperative spherical equivalent. 9,21 However, none of the studies in published literature have evaluated the role of misalignment between the visual axis and the pupillary axis, or the angle kappa, as a specific predictor for patient symptoms.…”

“…Our analysis is subject to the following limitations: (1) no model can replace real longitudinal data, but the feasibility and economics of such a survey may be questioned; (2) we hypothesized that the prevalence rate of spectacle independence remains constant until death, whereas available information on the efficacy of ReSTOR and other multifocal IOLs does not cover many years; [39][40][41][42] (3) the external validity of our spectacle cost survey could be challenged as ophthalmologists were not selected at random, but the cost structure was consistent with national statistics; 33 (4) we fully costed savings from avoided refraction visits after ReSTOR, which may be disputed as refraction could be a marginal reason for ophthalmic visits. However, avoided visits were not a major component of ReSTOR savings.…”
