Assessment side light effects in patients after implantation of different models IOL

Abstract

Purpose: to evaluate the side effects of light in patients after implantation of IOLs of different models.
Methods: the study involved 192 patients (216 eyes) operated for cataract (3 groups of patients). the average age of patients was 63±0.78 years. Follow-up was 12 months. the first group included 63 patients (72 eyes) after cataract extraction and implantation of the national refractive-diffractive trifocal IOL MIOL-Record 3. the second group included 64 patients (70 eyes) after cataract extraction and implantation of domestic bifocal IOL refractive-diffractive MIOL-Acсord. the third group consisted of 65 patients (74 eyes) after cataract extraction and IOL implantation domestic monofocal MIOL-2. the postoperative questionnaire (using a detailed oral interview) was conducted after 1 week, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. the patient is asked about the presence of these light effects: flashes of light, circles of light scatter at the sight of the light source, flash, glitter, glimmer, blindingly bright light.
Results: At 2.77% (2 patients) of cases in patients with MIOL-Record 3 in a detailed survey in the postoperative period revealed light effects. In patients with MIOL-Accord and MIOL-2 light effects were 2.85% (2 patients) and 1.35% (1 patient). the difference between the groups was not statistically reliable.
Conclusion: this study found no statistically significant increase of side light effects in patients with multifocal IOLs compared
with monofocal IOLs.
