Abstract :

Purpose: The authors present the biometrical and functional results of a retrospective study in which they evaluate the patients with hyperopia and presbyopia who were operated by clear lens extraction with implantation of multifocal ReSTOR +3D intraocular lens.

Material and method: We studied a group of 21 eyes from 11 patients with age between 40 and 70 years, who were operated for hyperopia and presbyopia by phacoemulsification with multifocal posterior chamber ReSTOR +3D intraocular lens. Before the surgery we performed the ocular biometry, the ultrasound and optic technique. The refractive target was 0,00à+0,5 D.

Results: At 1 year after the operation, the refractive target was obtained in 38,1% of cases. At 6 weeks after the operation, the distance visual acuity without correction was 0,0 logMar scale in 66,67% of cases and the visual acuity with correction was 85,72%. Visual acuity at near without correction was 0,0 logMar scale in 71,43% and with correction in 90,48% of cases. The intermediate visual acuity without correction was 0,0 logMar scale in 66,67% and with correction 90,48% of cases. At one year after the surgery, distance visual acuity without correction was 0,0 logMar scale in 66,67% of cases and with correction in 80,95% of cases. Near visual acuity without correction was maximal in 76,19% of cases and with correction in 85,72% of cases. Intermediate visual acuity without correction was 0,0 logMar scale in 71,43% and with correction it was maximal in 85,72%.

Conclusion: Refractive clear lens extraction with multifocal intraocular lens ReSTOR +3D implantation gives very good functional results at distance, intermediate and near. It represents a therapeutical approach at patients older than 40 years old with hyperopia and presbyopia.
