Optical Principles of IOLs monofocal far focus diffractive near focus far focus refractive

Multifocal IOL : evolution Many studies have been shown to restore near vision higher than J3 in between 92-99% Things to overcome.. Degradation of image quality by multifocal vision 2. Distribution of incoming light through several foci  Generate out-of-focus images overlapping the image of distant focus  Induces blur (particulary, in low contrast level) 3. Previous spherical design of IOL  Increases spherical aberration : glare & halo (photopic)

Accommodating IOL Crystalens - actually a monofocal lens that has the ability to move forward inside the eye to change focus from distance to near to some degree (pseudoaccommodation). Flexible haptics that allow the lens optic movement back and forth with contraction of ciliary muscle :  1.5 D of accommodation theoretically 2008 curr opin ophth 그대로 읽기

Multifocal Refractive IOLs Rezoom IOL(AMO) five different zones with each zone designed for different light and focal distances in a range of light conditions Allows the formation of intermediate images on the retina, even if distance and near powers form slightly out-of-focus images on the retina 그대로 읽기

Pros Cons Rezoom IOL “ Balanced View Optics” ** Light distribution ** The mean uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA) was significantly better in refractive (ReZoom) mulitifocal IOL than monofocal and diffractive (Tecnis) multifocal IOL. Rezoom IOL “ Balanced View Optics” Aspheric transitions between the zones provide balanced intermediate zone. ** Light distribution ** Far 50% Near 37% Intermediate 13% In 2.8mm pupil However, such a faint focused image arising from intermediate distance objects mixed with confused images from far and near annular zone The actual is often contradictory to the ideal ! Ophthalmology 2008;115:1508-16 Cons

Strengths and Limitations of ReZoom™ IOL Very good distance vision; similar to monofocal lens at small pupil size Good intermediate vision Good spectacle independence Limitations Spectacles sometimes needed for prolonged reading or small prints

Apodized Diffractive IOLs Acrysof Restor ™ (Alcon) apodized diffractive technology: controls both image quality and energy balance Diffract steps cover the central 3.6mm diameter of the IOL, while optic peripheral to the 3.6mm diameter out to the 6.0 mm edge is refractive surface dedicated to distance vision Step heights decrease peripherally from 1.3 – 0.2 microns A +4.0 add at lens plane equaling +3.2 at spectacle plane Central 3.6 mm apodized diffractive structure Provides a full range of vision 그대로 읽기

Key limitation of ReSTOR Apodized Diffractive IOLs In mesopic condition, (pupil dilation) Near & intermediate vision would reduce significantly Acrysof Restor ™ (Alcon) 2mm pupil : near 40% distance 40% lost 20% (to higher diffraction order) 5mm pupil : near 10% distance 84% lost 6% Key limitation of ReSTOR intermediate vision in the 50 to 70 cm range (drop in VA to 20/40 at intermediate range) Blaylock et al, J cataract Refract Surg 2006 Werner et al , J cataract Refract Surg 2008

Limitation of multifocal IOL Bilateral Crystalens : excellent distant and intermediate VA, but patients often use glasses for near tasks. Bilateral Restor IOL : excellent distant and near VA, but dissatisfied with intermediate VA, particularly in dim lighting. Bilateral Rezoom IOL : excellent distant and intermediate VA, but dissatisfied with near VA particularly in bright lighting. By Kerry D.SOLOMON, MD

Bilateral implantation ? Crystalens IOL : better best-spectacle corrected distance, uncorrected and distance-corrected intermediate, and best-corrected near vision. ReSTOR multifocal IOL : better uncorrected near vision, required the lowest reading add, and had the lowest uncorrected and distance-corrected intermediate vision. Monocular mesopic contrast sensitivity with and without glare was better with the Crystalens IOL

Combination implantation ? Any combination of Crystalens : better for intermediate vision. Any combination of ReSTOR : better for near vision.  Crystalens and ReSTOR combination : better mean intermediate and near vision overall Multifocal IOL in one or both eyes  lower contrast sensitivity and more subjective reports of photic phenomena Accommodating and multifocal IOL combinations : less night glare symptoms than bilateral multifocal IOL Visual performance of Patients with Bilateral vd Combination Crystalens, ReZoom,and ReSTOR IOL implnats American J Ophthalmology 2007 ;144:347-357

Pros of Mix & Match Mix & Match Non of the new-generation multifocal IOL is perfect by oneself The needs of the patients to provide a full range of vision – near, intermediate & far Mix & Match Mix & Match with refractive & diffractive multifocal IOL The concept was started in 2000.(Gunenc et al, Array & 811CeeOn) A number of studies reported in ASCRS 2006

: preferred near point of fixation, Combination of ReZoom & ReSTOR showed better intermediate VA than bilateral ReSTOR Bucci et al in ASCRS 2006 Combining Tecnis & ReZoom showed best intermediate VA Tecnis & ReZoom mix &match group showed better results than bilateral ReSTOR group Mere mix & matching is not enough! Customized vision required : preferred near point of fixation, pupil dynamics, glare, contrast condition

Cons of Mix & Match In view of the discrete power of diffractive multifocal IOL, it is recommended to plan the IOL power bilaterally (even though the second eye may not yet be scheduled for surgery). This way, the IOL powers for both eyes can be conveniently planned to be closest to emmetropia.

Target refraction For the first eye, it is advisable to aim for emmetropia, i.e. between +0.30D to -0.20D. To improve intermediate vision, the second eye may be targeted to be slightly hyperopic A postoperative myopic outcome may render the reading distance uncomfortably near, and intermediate vision will be compromised.

Example 1 The choice for the right eye 2nd choice d/t pts needs & symptom 1st choice is closest to emmetropia The choice for the right eye 1) Reducing haloes, less tolerant of night visual disturbances : +19.0D 2) Improve range of near vision, pt prefer near vision : +19.5D

Example 2 The choice of Left eye 1) For least defocus: +26.0D 1st choice is closest to hyperopic emmetropia 2nd choice d/t pts needs & symptom The choice of Left eye 1) For least defocus: +26.0D 2) More intermediate vision & reduce post-operative night vision disturbances:+25.5D

Customized vision : Lifestyle For Kim who makes his living driving a taxi  Distant, no photic sx (monofocal IOL) For Lee ,a heavy readers, but no night drive  Near fixation, pupil-dependent For Park who use computer, drive and strongly desire to be spectacle-free  intermediate & distance (mix& match : refractive& diffractive) For Chung, an X-ray technologist who works in a darkened room  Intermediate and near, pupil-independent

Multifocal IOL selection for 1st eye Personality/lifestyle Lens type Laid back nature lovers, sporty Bookworm, sewing, fine near work ReZoom Tecnis ZM900, Restor 43

Multifocal IOL selection for 2nd eye satisfication Lens type more intermediate visual demand more near visual demand All satisfied distance ReZoom Tecnis ZM900, Restor Use the same lens 44

Customized vision : Pupil dynamics Patients who underwent ReSTOR IOL implantation were divided according to their photopic pupil diameter : 2.0-3.5mm, 4.0-5.5mm, and 6.0-6.5mm Larger pupil : correlated with better distance VA and worse near VA J cataract Refract Surg 2007;33:430-8. Consider the patient’s photopic pupil size! When performing near visual task under photopic condition, it’s OK. However, under mesopic conditions, near VA may be compromised. ” It’s very difficult to read a menu in a restaurant ! “

Effect of Astigmatism on Multifocal IOL Multifocal IOL group Monofocal IOL group Influence of astigmatism on multifocal and monofocal intraocular lenses Am J Ophthalmol. 2000 Oct;130(4):477-82

Both distance and intermediate VA deterioration caused by astigmatism was greater with a multifocal IOL than with a monofocal intraocular lens, whereas near visual acuity was better with the multifocal IOL. When astigmatism was within 1.0 D, eyes with a multifocal IOL achieved good VA at both distance and near.

Conclusion To maximize the benefits of multifocal IOLs, Patient selection Accurate preoperative evaluation Astigmatism control are important !!! The surgeon must weigh the specific advantages and disadvantages of each lens in selecting either bilateral implantation or mixing different IOL in an effort to customize the treatment plan for each patient.

Counseling Considerations Document in the clinical chart what you tell the patient Counsel the patient about visual disturbances Counsel the patient about the reading distance Tell them it takes time for full adaptation Don’t promise “you’ll never wear glasses again” Remember, out of pocket expenses may result in higher patient expectations Provide patients with the Surgical Patient Information Booklet 3 to 6 months or more is required for brain adaptation
