Purpose
To evaluate long-term clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) following the implantation of an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods
This ambispective non-comparative single-centre study involved 41 patients (ages 48-84) who underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the Tecnis Eyhance IOL (model ICB00, Johnson & Johnson Vision). Distance and intermediate visual acuities, refraction, and PROMs were assessed 18 months or more after surgery. Spectacle independence was evaluated using the PRSIQ questionnaire, with patients self-reporting on visual quality, difficulties in performing specific tasks and perception of photic phenomena at distance and intermediate vision.
Results
At 18 months or later, 100.0%, 73.2%, 100% and 79.5% of patients achieved a binocular uncorrected distance, uncorrected intermediate, corrected distance, and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity of 0.20 logMAR or better, respectively. Less than 10% of patients reported photic phenomena. Mean visual quality scores were 1.68±0.72 for distance and 2.05±0.92 for intermediate vision (1=very good to 6=very poor). The dashboard was clearly visible while driving for 95.1% of patients, while 45.0% could perform screen work without glasses; an additional 40.0% could do so with enlarged fonts. Complete spectacle independence was reported by 87.8% for distance vision, and 53.7% for intermediate vision. At least moderately satisfied were 90.2% with distance vision, 87.8% with intermediate vision, and 51.2% with near vision.
Conclusions
The enhanced monofocal IOL ICB00 provides good long-term distance and intermediate visual quality, leading to considerable spectacle independence and patient satisfaction. Most patients required near vision correction.
