Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Patients who underwent presbyopic correction with bilateral bifocal intraocular lenses implantation are supposed to have sufficient uncorrected vision capacity for activities of daily living (ADLs) that require near vision acuity (NV), (ie. book reading). However, it is known that light intensity and temperature has a great impact on near vision capacity. Primary objective of this study is to identify the optimal task lighting conditions (in terms of light intensity and temperature) for ADLs that demand near vision acuity for a sample oa patients who underwent presbyopic correction with bilateral bifocal intraocular lenses implantation

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
SG

Study group (patients who underwent pseudophakic presbyopic correction with bilateral bifocal lenses implantation

Procedure: BB-Phaco
Phacoemulsification with bilateral bifocal lenses implantation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Uncorrected Near Vision Acuity (UnVA) [6 months]

    Near Vision Acuity

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Near Vision Capacity (NVC) [6 months]

    NVC score will be measured by the performance score in the following ADLs: a) cellular phone directory entry search, b) reading of message in a cellular phone, c) reading a medical prescription, d) reading a public phonebook
