Luminous Efficiency Function V(λ)' of Patients That Underwent Pseudophakic Presbyopic Corrections
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Primary objective of this study is to construct and validate a modified luminous efficiency function that addresses the distinct total eye light transmittance of patients that underwent bilateral pseudophakic presbyopic correction with trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) implantations.

Detailed Description
Present study aims to identify in which degree multifocal IOLs modify eye light transmission and estimate the necessary task and environmental lighting adjustment in order to address lighting needs of patients following bilateral pseudophakic presbyopic corrections. Specifically, the aim of this study is to identify the minimum light intensity in which patients that underwent pseudophakic presbyopic correction with trifocal IOLs can reach their maximum visual acuity (measured when lights are at the 100% lighting level)

Study group Patients that underwent uneventful bilateral pseudophakic presbyopic correction with trifocal diffractive IOLs (PanOptix or PanOptix toric, Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA) |
Procedure: Phacoemulsification with bilateral trifocal diffractive IOLs

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Minimum light intensity [6 months postoperatively]
Minimum light intensity in which participants reach their maximum critical visual acuity
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Critical Visual Acuity (CVA) [6 months postoperatively]
The print size of the optotype line fulfilling this criterion: all of the following lines are read at a time that is 1.96 times the standard deviation over the average reading time of the larger preceding lines. In clinical practice, the CVA is the minimum VA that can be read with the maximum possible speed.
