[Results of the cataract with the Acrysoft ReSTOR SN6AD3 intraocular lens implantation].

PURPOSE: this study aims to evaluate the postoperative results of uncorrected visual acutity (UCVA) near and distance and contrast sensitivity after cataract surgery with Acrysof ReSTOR SN6AD3 implantation and to evaluate the personal questionnaire.

METHODS

this prospective study included 40 eyes of 21 patients with cataract. Each patient had small incision cataract surgery with Acrysof ReSTOR SN6AD3 implantation. Corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected and uncorrected close visual acuity and corrected scotopic contrast sensitivity were measured before and after surgery. The subjective impressions of patients were evaluated by a personal questionnaire.

RESULTS

mean distance UCVA before surgery was 0.3 +/- 0.19, mean distance UCVA after surgery was 0.9 +/- 0.3. Mean near UCVA before surgery was 11.9 +/- 2.2, mean near UCVA after surgery was 1.8 +/- 1.1. Contrast sensitivity before surgery was 25.6 +/- 10.3 and after surgery was 33.3 +/- 1.8. The evaluation of the questionnaire revealed that 19 patients (95%) never wear glasses, 17 patients (80%) are fully satisfied with reading very small text and 17 patients (80%) are fully satisfied with far vision. Hallos around spot lights recorded 12 patients (60%). Problems with contrast noticed 3 patients (15%). All of the patients would prefer the implantation of the same intraocular lens and recommend it to friend.

CONCLUSION

The results shows that uncorrected both distance and near visual acuity were better after surgery (p < 0.0001). Contrast sensitivity also improved after surgery (p = 0.0001). Personal questionnaire revealed high satisfaction after surgery.
