Improving quality of vision with an anterior surface modified prolate intraocular lens: A prospective clinical trial

AIM: To compare the optical performance of the anterior surface modified prolate Tecnis Z9000 IOL with the standard 911A IOL in terms of contrast sensitivity outcomes. · METHODS: The Tecnis Z9000 silicone IOL shares the same basic characteristics with the 911A IOL including a 12.0mm overall diameter, 3-piece equiconvex 6.0mm optic and angulated cap C polyvinylidene fluoride haptics. This is a randomized prospective study that involved ten consecutive patients (20 eyes) with bilateral cataracts. Each patient underwent phacoemulsification and received randomly the Tecnis Z9000 IOL in one eye and the control (911A IOL) in the fellow eye within 6 weeks period of one another. Contrast sensitivity was measured after six postoperative weeks. The collected data were analyzed through using Mann Whitney U test. · RESULTS: The mean pre-operative best spectacle corrected Snellen visual acuity in the eyes that were randomly selected to receive the Tecnis IOL was 6/8.5 (0.70) and in the eye selected to receive the 911A IOL was 6/9.4(0.64). Postoperatively all 20 eyes achieved best corrected Snellen visual acuity of 6/6 (1.0). Postoperative contrast sensitivity testing showed statistically significant differences (P <0.05) between the two IOLs at 12 and 18 cpd under photopic, at 1.5 and 3 cpd under mesopic, and at 1.5 and 3 cpd under mesopic with glare conditions. · CONCLUSION: The Tecnis Z9000 IOL proved to have statistically significant superior contrast sensitivity to the 911A IOL at high spatial frequencies under photopic conditions and at low spatial frequencies under mesopic and mesopic with glare conditions.     

Improved functional vision with a modified prolate intraocular lens

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the Tecnis Z9000 intraocular lens (IOL) (Pfizer) with a modified prolate anterior surface provides better quality of vision than a conventional spherical IOL. SETTING: Oregon Eye Institute, Eugene, Oregon, USA. METHODS: Patients presenting for cataract surgery who were randomly assigned to receive a Tecnis Z9000 IOL (Pfizer) or a Sensar OptiEdge AR40e IOL (AMO) in 1 eye were followed for 3 months postoperatively. The patient could elect to have the same type of IOL implanted in the fellow eye. The results of sine-wave grating contrast sensitivity testing under mesopic and photopic conditions were compared interindividually. RESULTS: Monocular comparison was made between the 2 IOL groups, which comprised 15 patients each. The Tecnis IOL provided significantly better contrast sensitivity at 6 cycles per degree (cpd) under photopic conditions and at 1.5 and 3 cpd under mesopic conditions. Seven patients with a Tecnis IOL and 9 patients with an AR40e IOL had subsequent implantation in the fellow eye. In all eyes, including fellow eyes, having IOL implantation, the Tecnis provided significantly better contrast sensitivity at 3 and 6 cpd under photopic conditions and at 1.5, 3, and 6 cpd under mesopic conditions. The mean contrast sensitivity in fellow eyes showed that the Tecnis IOL produced significantly better results at some spatial frequencies. CONCLUSIONS: Results show the Tecnis IOL with a modified prolate anterior surface may produce better contrast sensitivity than a standard spherical IOL under mesopic and photopic conditions. Because contrast sensitivity testing correlates well with functional vision, a goal of future research should be to evaluate patient performance using functional tests such as driving simulation.     

Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity comparison between Tecnis and AcrySof SA60AT intraocular lenses: A multicenter randomized study

PURPOSE: To evaluate best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity in pseudophakic patients implanted either with the aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) designed to correct for corneal spherical aberration or with a conventional IOL. SETTING: Three surgical centers participated this prospective randomized masked comparative study. METHODS: Thirty eyes of 30 patients after aspheric lens implantation (Pfizer/Pharmacia Tecnis Z9000) were compared with 30 eyes of 30 age-matched patients after conventional lens implantation (Alcon AcrySof SA60AT). Two to three months after surgery, best spectacle corrected distance visual acuity was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart. Contrast sensitivity was measured by sinusoidal grating charts for distance at photopic (85 cd/m(2)) and mesopic (6 cd/m(2)) luminance level with optical correction in place. Tested spatial frequencies were 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree (cpd). RESULTS: The mean BCVA was -0.053 +/- 0.044 logMAR in eyes with the aspheric Tecnis IOL and 0.006 +/- 0.059 logMAR in eyes with the conventional AcrySof IOL (P=.0001). Eyes with the aspheric IOL showed better contrast sensitivity at spatial frequencies of 3 cpd (P<.05) and 6, 12, and 18 cpd (P<.01) in photopic and in mesopic conditions. Peak improvement occurred at 18 cpd and was 36% (0.29 log units) in photopic and 54% (0.27 log units) in mesopic conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The aspheric Tecnis IOL yielded better BCVA and better distance contrast sensitivity than the conventional IOL. The differences were clinically significant for higher spatial frequencies. The results give some suggestions for further studies.     

非球面人工晶状体植入术后视觉质量对比分析

目的:评价3种非球面人工晶状体(AcrySof SN60WF、TecnisZ9001和KS-3Ai)植入术后的视觉质量。方法:采用前瞻性随机对照研究方法,收集我院老年性白内障手术患者88例126眼,平均年龄67.3±8.7岁,将入选患者按植入不同的人工晶状体(Intraocular lens,IOL)随机分为4组:AcrySofSN60WF(IQ)组(23例33眼)、TecnisZ9001组(23例33眼)、KS-3Ai组(20例29眼),SN60AT球面人工晶状体组为对照组(22例31眼)。术后随访3mo,观察指标:裸眼视力(uncorrected visual acuity,UCVA)及最佳矫正视力(best corrected visual acuity,BCVA),眼压,等效球镜度数,角膜Q值,瞳孔直径,6mm全眼球总高阶像差及四阶球差均方根值(root mean square,RMS),夜光、昼光及夜眩光3种视觉条件下的对比敏感度(contrast sensitivity,CS)。结果:术后各组的UCVA、BCVA、等效球镜度数和瞳孔直径均无统计学差异。总高阶像差和四阶球差RMS:非球面组低于球面组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);非球面组间比较无统计学差异。术后角膜Q值与球差成正相关(r=0.183,P<0.05)。术后对比敏感度:与球面IOL相比,IQ,Tecnis可提高术后3种视觉条件下的CS,KS-3Ai可提高术后夜光、夜眩光两种视觉条件下的CS;非球面IOL组间比较,IQ组在昼光、夜眩光视觉条件下的CS好于Tecnis组和KS-3Ai组,TECNIS组和KS-3Ai组之间在3种视觉条件下均无统计学差异。结论:3种非球面IOL均可有效地减少术眼的总高阶像差和四阶球差。3种非球面IOL均可以提高术眼术后的CS,IQ组在昼光、夜眩光视觉条件下的CS与Tecnis组和KS-3Ai组相比较差异具有统计学意义,Tecnis组和KS-3Ai组之间在3种视觉条件下的CS均无统计学差异。     

Visual performance of aspherical and spherical intraocular lenses: intraindividual comparison of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations

PURPOSE: To intraindividually compare visual performance in terms of photopic high-contrast visual acuity (HCVA), mesopic HCVA, mesopic low-contrast visual acuity (LCVA), and contrast sensitivity (CS) in patients after implantation of either an aspherical or a spherical intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. METHODS: Forty eyes of 20 patients were randomized to implantation of an aspherical IOL (Tecnis Z9000, AMO) in 1 eye and a spherical IOL (Sensar AR40e, AMO) in the other eye. Three to 4 months postoperatively, photopic HCVA (270 cd/m(2)) was measured with the observer-independent Frankfurt-Freiburg Contrast and Acuity Test System (FF-CATS) and high-mesopic HCVA and LCVA (8 cd/m(2)) were measured with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study charts. CS was assessed with the FF-CATS under photopic (167 cd/m(2)), high-mesopic (1.67 cd/m(2)), and low-mesopic (0.167 cd/m(2)) luminance conditions with and without glare. For each individual eye, higher-order wavefront aberrations were reconstructed for a physiological mesopic pupil diameter. Intraindividual differences (Delta(i)) in visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were calculated, and the influence of age and Delta(i) HOA on Delta(i) contrast sensitivity (logCS) under high-mesopic conditions was investigated using multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between the Tecnis IOL and the Sensar IOL in visual acuity measurements or contrast sensitivity measurements. For physiological mesopic pupil diameter, primary spherical aberration (Z(4)(0)) was significantly lower in the Tecnis group (P<.001). For all parameters studied except Z(4)(0), the Delta(i) values were distributed around zero. Multiple regression analysis showed only a partial influence of Delta(i) Z(4)(0) on Delta(i) logCS (adjusted R(2) = 0.49) but did not show any influence of age, coma-like aberration, or residual HOA. CONCLUSIONS: Although Z(4)(0) was significantly lower in the eyes with the aspherical IOL, no statistically significant differences were found between aspherical and spherical IOLs in LCVA, HCVA, and contrast sensitivity. Statistical analysis of intraindividual contrast sensitivity differences showed that in most patients, this Z(4)(0) difference was too low to have an effect on contrast sensitivity.     

Impact of a modified optic design on visual function: clinical comparative study

PURPOSE: To determine whether implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) with a modified anterior surface designed to compensate for the positive spherical aberration of the cornea in eyes of cataract patients results in improved pseudophakic quality of vision. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Bundesknappschaft's Hospital, Sulzbach, Germany. METHODS: In an intraindividual randomized study of 45 patients with bilateral cataract, an IOL with a modified anterior surface (Tecnis Z9000, Pharmacia) was compared with a biconvex lens with spherical surfaces (SI-40, Allergan). All patients had bilateral cataract surgery; in 1 eye the Z9000 IOL was implanted and in the other, the SI-40 IOL. After 1 and 3 months, the following investigations were performed: assessment of the anterior and posterior segments including IOL decentration and tilt, pupil size, high- and low-contrast visual acuities, photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivities, and wavefront aberration of the cornea and eye. RESULTS: Thirty-seven patients were examined at all follow-up visits. Although the eyes with the Z9000 IOL had significantly better best corrected visual acuity after 3 months, the improved quality of vision was more apparent when assessing low-contrast visual acuity and contrast sensitivity. Wavefront measurements revealed no significant spherical aberration in eyes with a Z9000 IOL but significantly positive spherical aberration in eyes with an SI-40 IOL. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical results confirm the theoretical preclinical calculations that the spherical aberration of the eye after cataract surgery can be eliminated by modifying the anterior surface of the IOL. The Tecnis Z9000 lens compensates for the positive spherical aberration in older eyes. This leads to a significant improvement, particularly in contrast sensitivity and mesopic visual quality.     

Contrast sensitivity and glare disability after implantation of AcrySof IQ Natural aspherical intraocular lens: prospective randomized masked clinical trial

PURPOSE: To evaluate contrast sensitivity and glare disability after implantation of an AcrySof IQ Natural SN60WF aspherical intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon Laboratories). SETTING: Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India. METHODS: One hundred twenty consecutive patients who had phacoemulsification in a prospective triple-masked trial were randomized to receive an AcrySof SA60AT IOL (40 eyes), AcrySof Natural SN60AT IOL (40 eyes), or AcrySof IQ SN60WF IOL (40 eyes). At 3 months, contrast sensitivity was measured using the CSV-1000E contrast sensitivity chart test face (Vector Vision) at 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degrees (cpd) under photopic conditions (85 cd/m(2)) and mesopic conditions (2.7 cd/m(2)) with 4.0 mm and 6.0 mm fixed central apertures, with and without glare. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used and a pair-wise comparison performed. The main outcome measure was the difference in contrast sensitivity between IOLs at each spatial frequency. RESULTS: The best corrected visual acuity was similar between the 3 IOL groups (P = .6). The AcrySof IQ group had significantly higher contrast sensitivity at 18 cpd under photopic conditions (P = .008); at 3, 6, 12, and 18 cpd during mesopic testing with a 4.0 mm aperture without glare (P = .018, P = .011, P = .007, and P = .0001, respectively) and with glare (P = .003, P = .006, P = .005, and P = .004, respectively); and at all spatial frequencies during mesopic testing with a 6.0 mm aperture without glare (P = .018, P = .006, P = .009, and P = .0001, respectively) and with glare (P = .019, P = .002, P = .01, and P = .017, respectively). CONCLUSION: Eyes with the AcrySof IQ SN60WF IOL had significantly higher contrast sensitivity than eyes with an AcrySof SA60AT or AcrySof Natural SN60AT IOL at all spatial frequencies during mesopic testing (with and without glare) with 4.0 and 6.0 mm artificial pupil.     

Quality of vision after cataract surgery after Tecnis Z9000 intraocular lens implantation: effect of contrast sensitivity and wavefront aberration improvements on the quality of daily vision

PURPOSE: To compare ocular performance and quality of vision in pseudophakic eyes with an aspherical intraocular lens (IOL) or a conventional spherical IOL. SETTING: Bretonneau University Hospital, Tours, France. METHODS: Twenty patients (40 eyes) were randomly divided in 2 equal groups to bilaterally receive the aspherical Tecnis Z9000 IOL (AMO) or the spherical CeeOn Edge 911 IOL (AMO). Contrast sensitivity was measured and ocular wavefront analysis performed before surgery and 6 months after. Patients completed the Activities of Daily Vision Scale (ADVS) to evaluate patient-centered visual outcomes. Other examinations included refraction before and after mydriasis and pupil diameter. RESULTS: The mean postoperative best corrected visual acuity (logMAR) was 0.03 +/- 0.05 (SD) in the Tecnis group and 0.01 +/- 0.05 in the CeeOn Edge group (P = .41). Refractive evaluation with mydriasis showed a mean myopic shift as low as -0.02 +/- 0.36 diopter (D) in the Tecnis group and -0.51 +/- 0.37 D in the CeeOn Edge group (P = .001). Mesopic contrast sensitivity at high spatial frequencies was significantly better in the Tecnis group (P<.001), while contrast sensitivity under photopic and glare conditions was not different between the 2 groups. Spherical aberration was significantly lower in the Tecnis group, which had a mean Z(4)(0) of 0.01 +/- 0.06 microm, than in the CeeOn Edge group, which had a mean Z(4)(0) of 0.16 +/- 0.12 microm (P<.001). The global score on the ADVS was not statistically different between groups; however, quality of distance vision was better in the Tecnis group than in the CeeOn Edge group (mean 99.0 +/- 2.0 versus 89.2 +/- 3.4) (P<.001). CONCLUSION: Implantation of an aspherical IOL with a negative spherical aberration resulted in reduced ocular spherical aberration and improved mesopic contrast sensitivity and led to better subjective quality of vision.
