[Long-term results of binocular symmetric and asymmetric correction of aphakia using different multifocal intraocular lenses].

Long-term results (1-4 years after surgery) of bilateral symmetric and asymmetric implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOL) AcrySof Restore SN6AD3 (Alcon) and M-flex 630F (Rayner) A for aphakia correction were compared. Patients were divided into 3 groups. The 1st group included 20 patients with symmetric implantation of MIOL AcrySof Restore SN6AD3, 2nd group--19 patients with symmetric implantation of MIOL M-flex 630F and 3rd group--22 patients with asymmetric implantation of these MIOLs. Binocular non-corrected visual acuity (BNCVA) for long-, short- and intermediate distances in photo- and mesopic conditions, pseudoaccomodation range and results of questionnaire were estimated. Asymmetric bilateral implantation of MIOLs AcrySof Restore and M-flex 630F has advantages over symmetric implantation of identical MIOLs in terms of wider pseudoaccomodation range and lower dependence on light intensity.
