Abstract

Visual acuity of 35 patients (49 eyes) implanted with AcrySoft®IQ PanOptix® spherical or toric lenses by Alcon was analyzed considering preoperative pupil size, angles alpha and kappa, the values of which were obtained in the examination using iTrace analyzer. Overall, no statistically significant changes in visual acuity were observed for changing values of the above parameters, except in the preoperative group with hyperopia, in which visual acuity to far distances improved with increasing pupil size. In some patients after refractive lens exchange, a slight deterioration in visual acuity to far distances was observed compared to preoperative values obtained with best correction; however, this did not have a significant impact on the level of patient satisfaction.
