Han, Oh, Kim, and Chung: The Prognostic Factors that Influence in Near Vision after Accommodative Intraocular Lens Implantation

Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the prognostic factors to determine the uncorrected near visual acuity of patients who undergone routine cataract surgery and WIOL-CF® (Gelmed international, Kamenne Zehrovice, Czech Republic) accommodative intraocular lens implantation.

Methods

This study evaluated 46 eyes of 27 patients who had undergone routine cataract surgery and WIOL-CF® accommodative IOL implantation. We checked visual acuities at near and distant before surgery. And we also checked age and gender of patients and manifest refraction, corneal astigmatism and axial length of eyes at that time. We analyzed association between these factors and uncorrected near visual acuity at postoperative 6 and 12 month.

Results

Univariate linear regression analyses between uncorrected near visual acuity and preoperative patients characteristics suggested that the age of patients was the only statistically significant independent variable on uncorrected near visual acuity at postoperative 6 (p < 0.001) and 12 (p < 0.001) month. Multiple regression analyses also revealed the same results (p = 0.021 at postoperative 6 month and p = 0.042 at postoperative 12 month).

Conclusions

This study suggest that the age is the one of the most important prognostic factors of postoperative uncorrected near visual acuity after WIOL-CF® accommodative intraocular lens implantation.
