Evaluation of visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after implantation of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens.

Purpose To evaluate clinical outcomes after the implantation of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). Setting Nine European ophthalmology centers. Design Prospective noncomparative interventional multicenter study. Methods The trifocal diffractive AT LISA tri 839MP IOL was implanted in eyes with bilateral cataract. Monocular and binocular visual performance was assessed as was the level of perceived photic phenomena, patient satisfaction, and spectacle dependence 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. Results The IOL was implanted in 208 eyes of 104 patients. The mean binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity improved from 0.44 logMAR ± 0.30 (SD) to 0.02 ± 0.10 logMAR and 0.03 ± 0.09 logMAR at 1 month and 3 months, respectively ( P P P Conclusion This IOL provided excellent visual outcomes and high refractive predictability at all distances, including intermediate, leading to high levels of patient satisfaction and spectacle independence.
