Pilot Study With a Diffractive Trifocal IOL (POD AY 26P FineVision)

Pilot Study With a Diffractive Trifocal IOL (POD AY 26P FineVision)

The principal objective of the study is to determine the visual acuity at far, intermediate and near distances tested with optotypes at different distances from the eyes and tested with defocus addition lenses of patients implanted bilaterally with the POD 26P AY FineVision.

Secondary objective will be to test the glare and contrast sensitivity.

This study is a pilot study. As such it will recruit a limited number of patients : 20. Patients recruited will suffer from cataract, have no comorbidity, expressed the desire for spectacle independence and have realistic expectations.

Descriptive statistics will be used to determine the visual acuities at any distance. The occurence of glare and the determination of the contrast sensitivity will also be determined.

Inclusion Criteria:

• - Age-related cataract
• Preoperative Corneal astigmatism < 0.75 D
• Age 21 and older
• Visual Acuity > 0.05
• Normal findings in the medical history and physical examination unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant.
• Patient willing multifocal implantation and with realistic expectations.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Relevant other ophthalmic diseases such as pseudoexfoliation syndrome, floppy iris syndrome, corneal pathologies, retinal pathology (diabetic maculopathy, myopic maculopathy, age related macular degeneration...)
• Previous ocular surgery or trauma.
