ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and pseudoaccommodation in the early stage after AcrySof ReSTOR multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) and monofocal IOL implantation.Methods A total of 138 patients (158 eyes) with age-related cataract underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation were chosen,73eyes of 60 patients with a multifocal IOL implantation as observation group and 85 eyes of 78 patients with monofocal IOL implantation as control group.The uncorrected visual acuity,best corrected visual acuity was evaluated at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months after operation,pseudoaccommodation and quality of life was evaluated at 3 months after operation.Results The patients of both observation group and control group were able to obtain a satisfactory distance vision at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months.The uncorrected intermediate visual acuity of observation group were 0.49 ± 0.19,0.72 ± 0.21,0.77 ±0.23,which of control group were 0.24 ± 0.21,0.27 ± 0.22,0.28 ± 0.24,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).The uncorrected near visual acuity of observation group were 0.47 ± 0.20,0.70 ± 0.22,0.80 ± 0.24,which of control group were 0.21 ±0.23,0.23 ±0.19,0.26 ±0.18,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the uncorrected near visual acuity,best corrected distance,intermediate and near visual acuity between observation group and control group (all P ＞ 0.05).At 3 months,the distance and near pseudoaccommodation of observation group were (2.56 ± 0.82) D,(3.19 ±1.13)D,which of control group were (0.87 ±0.57)D,(1.03 ±0.59) D,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).At 3 months,VF-14 scale score and wearing glasses as near score of observation group were 92.21 ±4.22,4.23 ±0.85,which of control group were 71.23 ± 3.96,2.01 ± 0.71,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion AcrySof ReSTOR multifocal intraocular lens implantation can provide a higher level of visual acuity,pseudoaccommodation and satisfaction compared with monofocal intraocular lens.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate the objective amplitude of accommodation in various age groups using an autorefractometer and to compare the results with subjective assessments on accommodation. Objective accommodative amplitude of artificial lenses in post-operative cataract patients was also measured. METHODS: In this study, 41 patients who visited Korea University Guro Hospital from July through August 2014 were categorized into 6 different age groups. Accommodative amplitude was measured using long-distance refraction at 5 m and short-distance refraction at 20 cm. In 20 patients, subjective amplitude of accommodation was measured using the minus lens technique and was compared with the measured objective accommodative amplitude. Accommodative amplitude was also measured in 8 patients who received cataract surgery. RESULTS: The mean accommodative ability in normal people was 2.38 D. The age groups of 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and over 60 years showed accommodative amplitudes of 3.31 +/- 0.99 D, 3.25 +/- 0.34 D, 3.78 +/- 0.68 D, 1.00 +/- 0.60 D, 0.22 +/- 0.23 D, 0.00 +/- 0.00 D, respectively. The results showed a rapid decrease in accommodative ability of patients older than 40 years and demonstrated a correlation between objective and subjective amplitude of accommodation (Pearson's correlation coefficient 0.838). There was a significant difference between objective and subjective accommodative amplitudes in artificial lenses (p = 0.015), with average objective and subjective measures of 0.10 +/- 0.23 D and 0.59 +/- 0.35 D, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Measuring amplitude of accommodation using an autorefractometer can be useful in assessing results of presbyopia treatment.

We measured the near point of accommodation in 59 patients (59 eyes), who were implanted with 3M diffractive multifocal intraocular lens, in order to evaluote the pseudoaccommodation Average amount of pseudoaccommodation were 3.65 diopter (standard deviation was 1.75) and it was greater than that of monofocal intraocular lens Far vision and age did not affect the pseudoaccommodation. Near visual acuity alone appeared to have a positive correlation with pseudoaccommodation.
