Purpose: To evaluate visual outcome and patient satisfaction following Lentis Comfort intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Method: This retrospective case series examined 68 eyes of 41 patients (mean age 72.0 ± 8.1 years) who underwent Lentis Comfort (LS-313 MF15, Oculentis GmbH, Berlin, Germany; Santen, Osaka, Japan) implantations. Patients were evaluated for visual acuity (VA) at several distances (0.3, 0.5 and 5 meters), refractive error, defocus curve and contrast sensitivity, in addition to answering a questionnaire on photic phenomena, visual discomfort and patient satisfaction.
Results: Uncorrected visual acuity was 0.05 ± 0.13 (logMAR) for distance, 0.23 ± 0.17 (logMAR) for intermediate, and 0.52 ± 0.20 (logMAR) for near. Defocus curve showed the binocular visual acuity attained was almost 20/20 within the range of +0.5 D to −1.5 D. Contrast sensitivity was within the normal range. The Lentis Comfort IOL tolerated astigmatism to some extent. Patient age could potentially be related to uncorrected visual acuity. Questionnaire results showed almost all patients were satisfied with Lentis Comfort IOL implantation.
Conclusion: Lentis Comfort IOLs provided better visual function at far and intermediate distances.
