Objective: To compare visual function stability between silicone and hydrophobic acrylic materials of diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (MF-IOLs).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed clinical records of 10 patients who received a silicone MF-IOL in the first eye and hydrophobic acrylic lens in the fellow eye. Intra-individual differences in logMAR corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) were evaluated until 2 years postoperatively. Contrast sensitivity at 1 year was also compared.
Results: Age of the patients ranged from 39 to 77 years. There was no statistical difference in the uncorrected distance visual acuities at 2 years, while the uncorrected near visual acuity of the silicone IOL was better (P=0.046). The medians of the CDVA and DCNVA with the silico.. View More»
