Clinical evaluation of the Crystalens AT-45 accommodating intraocular lens: results of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration clinical trial

PURPOSE: To evaluate the 12-month U.S. phase II clinical trial results of the Crystalens AT-45 (eyeonics, Inc.) intraocular lens (IOL) used to provide uncorrected distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities in patients having cataract extraction and to compare in a substudy the contrast sensitivity and near visual acuity in patients with the Crystalens AT-45 IOL and those receiving a standard IOL. SETTING: Fourteen clinical sites throughout the U.S. for efficacy and 3 non-U.S. sites for safety and efficacy. METHODS: Patients 50 years or older had small-incision cataract extraction with implantation of the Crystalens AT-45 IOL. Unilateral implantation was followed by fellow-eye implantation. Postoperatively, uncorrected distance, near, and intermediate visual acuities were determined. Near and intermediate visual acuities were tested through a distance correction to eliminate potential pseudoaccommodative effects of residual myopia and corneal cylinder. A substudy tested contrast sensitivity under mesopic conditions with and without glare, as well as visual acuity in a subset of Crystalens AT-45 patients and a control group receiving a standard IOL. RESULTS: A total of 263 patients participated in the U.S. clinical trial and had 1 year of follow-up. Near visual acuities through the distance correction of 20/40 (J3) or better, monocularly and bilaterally, respectively, were seen in 90.1% and 100%; intermediate near visual acuities were seen in 99.6% and 100%. More than half the bilaterally implanted Crystalens AT-45 patients achieved uncorrected near acuity of 20/25 (J1) or better through the distance correction, and 84% achieved 20/32 (J2) or better. In the substudy, monocular near vision through the distance correction of 20/25 (J1) or better was seen in 50.4% with the Crystalens AT-45 IOL and in 4.7% with the standard IOLs. Mesopic contrast sensitivity results with and without glare for the Crystalens AT-45 were similar to those with standard monofocal IOLs. Nearly all patients (74 patients; 97.3%) who bilaterally were within 0.50 diopter of plano postoperatively achieved 20/32 (J2) or better uncorrected near, intermediate, and distance visual acuities. CONCLUSIONS: The Crystalens AT-45 accommodating IOL provided good uncorrected near, intermediate, and distance vision in pseudophakic patients. Contrast sensitivity with the Crystalens AT-45 was not diminished relative to standard monofocal IOLs, and near and intermediate visual performance was significantly better than with standard IOLs.     

Analysis of patients with good uncorrected distance and near vision after monofocal intraocular lens implantation

PURPOSE: To analyze factors contributing to uncorrected visual acuity of at least 6/12 for distance and at least J4 for near (pseudoaccommodation) after monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. SETTING: Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Center, Ahmedabad, India. METHODS: In a case-controlled study of 30 eyes (30 patients) that had phacoemulsification, those with pseudoaccommodation were assigned to cases and 30 eyes (30 patients) without pseudoaccommodation were designated as controls. Controls were matched by identical best corrected visual acuity, age, and postoperative duration. Subjective refraction was done with retinoscopy. Factors analyzed included corneal astigmatism, pupil size, axial IOL movement, amplitude of accommodation, axial length (AL), and age. Corneal astigmatism was noted on topography and interpreted as against the rule (ATR) (180 +/- 15 degrees), with the rule (WTR) (90 +/- 15 degrees), and oblique (OB) (45/135 +/- 30 degrees). Pupil size was noted on topographic display and AL and anterior chamber depth (ACD) on immersion A-scan. The axial IOL movement was calculated as the difference in ACD after instillation of cyclopentolate 1% (Cyclopent) and subsequently pilocarpine nitrate 2% (Carpinol) at separate visits, and amplitude of accommodation was measured with static and dynamic retinoscopy. Multivariate logistic regression and odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals were determined. RESULTS: Mean spherical equivalent was -0.45 +/- 0.63 diopter (D) in cases and -0.35 +/- 0.83 D (P = .61) in controls. Multivariate logistic regression in cases versus controls: corneal astigmatism (ATR versus WTR and OB collectively): 10.19 [1.8,57.44], P = .009; pupil size: 0.45 [0.07,2.71], P = .38; axial IOL movement: 1.39 [0.51,0.77], P = .514; amplitude of accommodation: 2.95 [0.93,9.3], P = .065; AL: 0.55 [0.29,1.02], P = .058; and age: 0.98 [0.5,1.95], P = .963. CONCLUSION: The study suggests a significant role of ATR corneal astigmatism in good uncorrected distance and near vision after monofocal IOL implantation.     

Clinical study of the 1CU accommodating intraocular lens

PURPOSE: To compare the near functional capacities of patients with an accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) with those of patients with a conventional monofocal IOL. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, University of Chieti, Chieti, Italy. METHODS: This prospective double-blind case-control study comprised 42 eyes that had phacoemulsification and implantation of 1 of 2 types of IOLs: HumanOptics accommodating 1CU(R) (study group) and Eurocrystal IFP 3G 6.00 (control group). The main outcome measures were subjective refraction, uncorrected distance acuity, best corrected distance acuity, distance corrected near acuity at 40 cm, best corrected near acuity at 40 cm, and subjective amplitude of accommodation. Patients were examined 7, 30, 90, and 180 days after surgery. RESULTS: Postoperatively, both groups had excellent uncorrected distance acuity, best corrected distance acuity, and best corrected near acuity. In the study group, the mean distance corrected near acuity (Jaeger) was 5.43 +/- 0.98 (SD) (range 4 to 7) at 7 days, 2.33 +/- 0.48 (range 2 to 3) at 1 and 3 months, and 3.66 +/- 2.12 (range 2 to 7) at 6 months. In the control group, the mean distance corrected near acuity was 7.43 +/- 0.50 (range 7 to 8) during the entire follow-up. The differences between the groups was statistically significant (P<.001). The mean amplitude of accommodation was 0.00 diopter (D) in the control group and 1.14 +/- 0.44 D (range 0.75 to 2.00 D) in the study group at 7 days, 2.36 +/- 0.28 D (range 2.00 to 2.75 D) at 30 and 90 days, and 1.90 +/- 0.77 D (range 0.75 to 2.75 D) at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: The 1CU accommodating IOL provided better useful spectacle-free near visual acuity than the conventional monofocal IOL. However, the accommodating mechanism can play a role in capsule fibrosis.     

Ultrasound biomicroscopic changes during accommodation in eyes with accommodating intraocular lenses: pilot study and hypothesis for the mechanism of accommodation

PURPOSE: To document ciliary body constriction and movement with the Crystalens AT-45 intraocular lens (IOL) (eyeonics) using ultrasound biomicroscopy. SETTING: Eye Clinic, Department of Neurological and Visual Sciences, University of Verona, Verona, Italy. METHODS: Patients with no preexisting ocular conditions other than cataract who agreed to return for follow-up were considered. Twenty eyes of 14 patients with a best corrected visual acuity of 5/10 or worse and a refractive error (spherical equivalent) of +/-1.0 diopter (D) had implantation of a Crystalens AT-45 accommodating IOL. Six patients had bilateral implantation. Ultrasound biomicroscopy was performed postoperatively at 1 and 6 months. Before and during accommodation, the anterior chamber depth (ACD) was measured to assess the endothelium-IOL distance and measure the scleral-ciliary process angle to determine whether there was anterior rotation of the ciliary body. The uncorrected distance acuity, best corrected distance acuity, uncorrected near acuity, distance corrected near acuity, best corrected near acuity, and accommodative amplitude were determined. Analysis was done to determine whether there was a correlation between the accommodative amplitude and the percentage variation in the ACD and scleral-ciliary process angle. RESULTS: All surgical procedures were uneventful. The mean uncorrected distance acuity at 1 month was 0.8 +/- 0.14 (SD) and remained stable at 6 months. Three of 20 eyes (15%) and 8 of 20 eyes (40%) had a Jaeger acuity of J1 and J3, respectively, without additional power correction. During accommodation, the mean reduction in ACD was 0.32 +/- 0.16 mm at 1 month and 0.33 +/- 0.25 mm at 6 months. The mean narrowing of the scleral-ciliary process angle was 4.32 +/- 1.87 degrees at 1 month and 4.43 +/- 1.85 degrees at 6 months. There was a correlation between accommodative amplitude and a decrease in the ACD (r=0.404) and a decrease in scleral-ciliary process angle (r=0.773). CONCLUSIONS: Anterior displacement of the Crystalens IOL and corresponding anterior rotation of the ciliary body occurred during near vision. The IOL displacement and rotation were proportional to the accommodation capacity.     

A prospective, randomized, double-masked comparison of a zonal-progressive multifocal intraocular lens and a monofocal intraocular lens.

INTRODUCTION: Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) have been designed to provide improved near visual acuity without spectacles compared with monofocal IOLs. Early studies have reported variables amounts of decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity with multifocal IOLs, and some patients have experienced halos and glare. METHODS: The authors performed a prospective, double-masked, multicenter evaluation of 62 patients randomized between a new zonal-progressive optic multifocal IOL and a monofocal IOL. RESULTS: Mean postoperative spherical equivalent, astigmatism, and uncorrected and best-corrected distance visual acuity were similar between the two groups. Patients with a multifocal IOL achieved significantly better uncorrected near visual acuity than patients with monofocal IOLs (J3+ versus J7; P less than 0.0001). With distance correction only, mean near visual acuity was J2 versus J5- (P = 0.0001). Best-corrected near visual acuity was J1 for both groups, with 1.36 diopters (D) for the multifocal group versus 2.37 D for the monofocal group (P less than 0.0001). Regan contrast sensitivity was lower for the multifocal patients at all contrast levels, and achieved statistical significance at very low contrast (11% contrast; P = 0.0024). Fifty-two percent of patients with a multifocal IOL reported that they did not need spectacles at all or used them only for their fellow eye, compared with 25% of the patients with monofocal IOLs. CONCLUSION: Both monofocal and multifocal implant patients were very satisfied with the results of their cataract extraction and IOL implant surgery. A small loss of contrast sensitivity with the multifocal IOL was demonstrated, consistent with theoretical predictions. The functional significance of the loss of contrast sensitivity appears to be small and counterbalanced by the advantage of improved uncorrected near visual acuity.

Synchrony dual-optic accommodating intraocular lens. Part 2: pilot clinical evaluation

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of an accommodating dual-optic intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING: Private practice and university centers. METHODS: A prospective noncomparative case series with retrospective control comprised 21 patients (26 eyes) scheduled for small-incision extracapsular cataract extraction by phacoemulsification with implantation of the Synchrony dual-optic accommodating IOL (Visiogen) (accommodating IOL group) and 10 patients who had small-incision extracapsular phacoemulsification with implantation of a monofocal, single-optic IOL at least 6 months previously (control group). Patients were examined 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Defocus curves in the accommodating IOL group were compared with those in the control group. The main outcome measures were postoperative distance uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity; near uncorrected, distance corrected, and near corrected visual acuity; and accommodative range based on defocus curves. RESULTS: Twenty-four eyes were available at the 6-month follow-up visit. All eyes had best corrected distance visual acuity of 20/40 or better, and 19 eyes (79%) had an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/40 or better. Uncorrected near visual acuity was 20/40 or better in all eyes. With distance correction, 23 eyes (96%) had an acuity of 20/40 or better at near. Defocus curve analysis suggested a mean accommodative range of 3.22 diopters (D) +/- 0.88 (SD) (range 1.00 to 5.00 D) in the accommodating IOL group and 1.65 +/- 0.58 D in the control group (range 1.00 to 2.50 D) (P<.05). CONCLUSION: The Synchrony dual-optic IOL shows promise as an option to provide accommodative function in pseudophakic patients.     

Visual performance of AcrySof ReSTOR apodized diffractive IOL: a prospective comparative trial

PURPOSE: Evaluate the visual performance of the AcrySof ReSTOR intraocular lens (IOL) and compare it with the monofocal SA60AT IOL. DESIGN: Prospective, nonrandomized, clinical trial. METHODS: Forty patients (80 eyes) from the Federal University of S?o Paulo were enrolled in two groups. Twenty-five patients were assigned to the ReSTOR group and 15 patients to the monofocal group. Inclusion criteria were corneal astigmatism <1.0 diopter, potential acuity meter >0.2 logMAR units, and no associated ocular diseases. Parameters analyzed included distance uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity, near uncorrected and distance corrected visual acuity, intermediate visual acuity, contrast sensitivity (Pelli-Robson chart), stereopsis (Titmus test), reading speed, wavefront measurement (LADARWave aberrometer), and a quality-of-life questionnaire. main outcome measure: Distance and near uncorrected and best distance corrected visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and reading speed. RESULTS: Distance uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity in the ReSTOR group were not statistically different from the monofocal group (P = .66). Near uncorrected and distance corrected visual acuity were statistically better in the ReSTOR group than the monofocal group (0.16 +/- 0.13 vs 0.62 +/- 0.09, P < .001, and 0.14 +/- 0.12 vs 0.62 +/- 0.07, P < .001, respectively). The ReSTOR group demonstrated less spherical aberrations compared with the monofocal group (P < .001). Monocular photopic contrast sensitivity was statistically lower in the ReSTOR group (P < .001). Stereopsis and reading speed were not statistically different between the groups. CONCLUSION: The AcrySof ReSTOR IOL provides a satisfactory full range of vision and achieves a more satisfactory quality of life when compared with the monofocal SA60AT IOL, but with lower contrast sensitivity.

Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity: AcrySof ReSTOR apodized diffractive versus AcrySof SA60AT monofocal intraocular lenses

PURPOSE: To compare the visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in eyes with the AcrySof ReSTOR multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon) and eyes with the monofocal AcrySof SA60AT IOL. SETTING: Policlinico Umberto I, Department of Ophthalmology, Rome, and private clinical practice, Rome, Italy. METHODS: One hundred eyes had phacoemulsification cataract extraction and implantation of a ReSTOR multifocal IOL in the capsular bag. Inclusion criteria were corneal astigmatism less than 1.5 diopters (D), myopia less than 4.0 D, and no associated ocular disease. A complete ophthalmic examination, including uncorrected visual acuity, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, and contrast sensitivity, was performed 6 months postoperatively. Results were compared with those in 40 eyes with the AcrySof monofocal IOL single-piece IOL. RESULTS: In the multifocal group, 90 eyes (90%) had an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/25 or better (logMAR<0.10) and an uncorrected near visual acuity at 35 cm of J3 or better (logMAR 0.14). The multifocal group and monofocal group had similar distance uncorrected and best corrected visual acuities; however, the multifocal group had significantly better near uncorrected acuity. The mean contrast sensitivity values were 18.28 dB (static program) and 17.95 dB (dynamic program) in the multifocal group and 19.18 dB (static program) and 21.2 dB (dynamic program) in the monofocal group. CONCLUSIONS: The ReSTOR multifocal IOL provided a satisfactory full range of vision; 92% of the patients achieved total spectacle independence. Contrast sensitivity was lower than with the SA60AT monofocal IOL.

Comparison of an aspheric monofocal intraocular lens with the new generation monofocal lens using defocus curve

Purpose:The aim of this study was to compare the visual outcomes of two monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs), with emphasis on the defocus curve.Methods:A total of 116 consecutive eyes with cataract, undergoing phacoemulsification with IOL implantation were included in the observational case series, and divided into two groups. 71 eyes were implanted with Tecnis Eyhance and 45 with Tecnis 1 monofocal IOL. Eyes with ocular comorbidities, previous ocular surgeries and corneal astigmatism >1 Diopters (D) were excluded from the study. Complete ophthalmic evaluation including uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), corrected intermediate visual acuity (CIVA), uncorrected visual acuity (UNVA), corrected near visual acuity (CNVA) was noted and defocus levels ranging from - 4.00 D to + 1.00 D were plotted postoperatively in both groups.Results:Uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) was significantly better in Tecnis Eyhance group compared to Tecnis 1 monofocal. Both the IOLs have similar performance for distance vision but visual acuity at intermediate and near is significantly better with Tecnis Eyhance compared to Tecnis 1 piece IOL.Conclusion:Tecnis Eyhance IOL with its better defocus curve, not only provides good distance, but intermediate vision as well. With significantly better visual acuity across the range of near and intermediate vision, Tecnis Eyhance IOL can prove to be a viable and reasonable option for patients who are more dependent on intermediate vision in daily activities.

Abstract：

Objective To compare visual acuity from far to near and stereoscopic vision in patients who underwent bilateral implantation of aspheric diffractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOLs)with monofocal IOLs. Methods This prospective study comprised patients having implantation of an aspheric diffractive multifocal ReSTOR SN6AD1 IOL with a C3.0 D add (SN6AD1) or a monofocal IOL (SN60AT). Visual acuity from far to near distances and stereoscopic vision were evaluated 3months postoperatively. Results Multifocal IOL group comprised 36 eyes of 18 patients. Monofocal IOL group comprised 40 eyes of 20 patients. The differences between groups of uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity and corrected near visual acuity had not statistically significant (P＞0.05).The mean distance-corrected visual acuity at 25 cm, 30 cm, 33 cm, 40 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm, 70 cm were better in the multifocal group than in the monofocal group (P＜0.01). The near stereoscopic vision. in the multifocal group were better than in the monofocal group (P＜0.01). When near corrected,there were no significant difference between the stereoscopic vision for the multifocal and monofocal groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions The diffractive multifocal IOL with a low add power provides significantly better intermediate, near visual acuity than the monofocal IOL. When near uncorrected, the multifocal group has better stereoscopic vision. Spectacle independence is higher with the multifocal intraocular lens.     

Prospective study of the Acri.LISA bifocal intraocular lens

PURPOSE: To assess the visual results after bilateral implantation of the bifocal Acri.LISA 366D intraocular lens (IOL) (Acri.Tec AG). SETTING: Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain. METHODS: Eighty-one patients had bilateral implantation of the distance-dominant bifocal Acri.LISA 366D IOL in a prospective study. Monocular and binocular best corrected distance visual acuity and best distance-corrected near visual acuity, binocular best distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity, and distance contrast sensitivity under photopic (85 cd/m(2)) and mesopic (5 cd/m(2)) conditions were determined. RESULTS: At the 3-month postoperative visit, the mean binocular best corrected distance acuity was 0.048 +/- 0.111 logMAR and the mean binocular best distance-corrected near acuity, 0.012 +/- 0.0084 logMAR (both approximately 20/20). The mean binocular best distance-corrected intermediate acuity changed significantly as a function of the distance of the test, from 0.012 +/- 0.084 logMAR (approximately 20/20) at 33 cm to 0.265 +/- 0.099 logMAR (approximately 20/40) at 70 cm (P<.01). Contrast sensitivity was within normal limits under photopic and mesopic conditions. Binocular contrast sensitivity was statistically significantly better than monocular contrast sensitivity at all spatial frequencies under both illumination levels (P<.01).

Multifocal intraocular lens implantation in prepresbyopic patients with unilateral cataract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the benefits of implantation of a zonal-progressive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in prepresbyopic patients with unilateral cataract. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, nonrandomized, comparative trial. PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-five eyes of 95 prepresbyopic patients aged between 14 and 40 years with either multifocal or monofocal IOL implantation at two institutions and with more than 6 months follow-up. INTERVENTIONS: Temporal clear corneal phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation was performed in all eyes. In 54 patients, a zonal-progressive optic multifocal IOL (Array SA40-N, Allergan, Irvine, CA) was implanted, whereas 41 patients received a monofocal IOL and served as controls. RESULTS: Preoperative patient demographics, mean postoperative spherical equivalent, astigmatism, and uncorrected and best-corrected distance visual acuities were similar in the two groups. Patients with a multifocal IOL achieved a significantly better uncorrected near visual acuity than patients with monofocal IOL (0.18 versus 0.37; P = 0.0001). With distance correction only, mean near visual acuity was 0.17 versus 0.43 (P = 0.0001). Best-corrected near visual acuity was 0.11 for both groups (P = 0.91), with +1.43 diopters (D) for the multifocal group and +2.35 D for the monofocal group (P = 0.0001). Spectacle dependency differed significantly between the two groups, with 21 patients (51%) of the monofocal group commonly requiring an additional plus add for near tasks compared with 5 patients (9%) in the multifocal group (P = 0.001). Stereopsis was superior in the multifocal group (P < 0.001), with 42 (77%) and 33 (61%) patients with a multifocal IOL responding positively to the Lang and Titmus tests, respectively. In the monofocal group; only 20 (48%) and 9 (22%) patients gave correct answers. CONCLUSIONS: Multifocal IOL implantation is a viable alternative to monofocal pseudophakia in prepresbyopic patients with unilateral cataract.     

Visual performance of patients with bilateral vs combination Crystalens, ReZoom, and ReSTOR intraocular lens implants

PURPOSE: To compare the visual performance of patients with bilateral vs combination Crystalens, ReZoom, and ReSTOR intraocular lens (IOLs) implants. DESIGN: Prospective, nonrandomized study. METHODS: Forty-nine patients were implanted with bilateral Crystalens (Eyeonics, Aliso Viejo, California, USA), ReSTOR (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, Texas, USA), and ReZoom (American Medical Optics, Santa Clara, California, USA) or combined Crystalens and ReSTOR or Crystalens and ReZoom IOLs after phacoemulsification. Monocular and binocular testing four to six months after surgery included uncorrected and best-spectacle corrected visual acuity at distance, intermediate, and near vision; mesopic contrast sensitivity function with and without glare; and quality-of-life and vision surveys six months after surgery. RESULTS: Monocular testing showed that eyes with Crystalens accommodating IOL had statistically better best-spectacle corrected distance, uncorrected and distance-corrected intermediate, and best-corrected near vision. Eyes with the ReSTOR multifocal IOL had 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 vs either multifocal IOL at specific spatial frequencies. The binocular subjective quality of vision and quality of life questionnaires were favorable for the bilateral Crystalens group. CONCLUSIONS: Any combination of Crystalens in one or both eyes was better for intermediate vision. Any combination of ReSTOR in one or both eyes was better for near vision. The Crystalens and ReSTOR combination had better mean intermediate and near vision overall. A multifocal IOL in one or both eyes was associated with lower contrast sensitivity and more subjective reports of photic phenomena. The accommodating and multifocal IOL combinations elicited less night glare symptoms than in patients with either bilateral multifocal IOL, but more than with bilateral Crystalens implantation.     

Quality of vision with the Acri. Twin asymmetric diffractive bifocal intraocular lens system

PURPOSE: To assess the quality of vision in patients who had implantation of asymmetric Acri.Twin bifocal diffractive intraocular lenses (IOLs) by evaluating distance and near visual acuities and photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity under monocular and binocular conditions. SETTING: Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain. METHODS: The study comprised 343 consecutive patients who had bilateral implantation of the Acri.Twin system: a distance-weighted 737D IOL and a near-weighted 733D IOL. Monocular and binocular best corrected distance visual acuities, best distance corrected near visual acuity, and distance contrast sensitivity under photopic (85 cd/m(2)) and mesopic (5 cd/m(2)) conditions were determined. RESULTS: Eyes with the 737D IOL had better best corrected distance acuity than eyes with the 733D IOL (mean 0.036 +/- 0.061 logMAR versus 0.141 +/- 0.131 logMAR) (P<.0001). Eyes with the 733D IOL had better best distance corrected near acuity than eyes with the 737D IOL (mean 0.015 +/- 0.115 logMAR versus 0.059 +/- 0.091 logMAR) (P = .0027). Binocularly, the Acri.Twin system allowed good distance and near vision; the means were 0.031 +/- 0.059 logMAR and 0.005 +/- 0.024 logMAR, respectively. Contrast sensitivity with the Acri.Twin system was within normal limits under photopic and mesopic conditions. Contrast sensitivity was statistically significantly better with the Acri.Twin system, followed by the 737D IOL and the 733D IOL under both illumination levels. CONCLUSIONS: Asymmetric bilateral implantation of the Acri.Twin IOL gave good simultaneous distance and near vision with improved contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions. Differences between monocular and binocular visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were obtained because of the distance-/near-weighted light distribution of Acri.Twin IOLs.
