Comparison of quality of life with two trifocal intraocular lenses under different lighting conditions

Aims/Purpose: To evaluate the effect of two types of trifocal intraocular lenses on the visual quality of patients undergoing cataract surgery by assessing contrast sensitivity, halo perception and subjective visual satisfaction under photopic and mesopic lighting conditions. Methods: Observational, prospective, cross‐sectional study. The study was conducted at the Hospital Universitario Sanitas la Moraleja in Madrid. The study followed the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The sample included 16 cataract or lensectomy patients with bilateral implantation of one of the two intraocular lenses (IOL) under study: 20 eyes implanted with FineVision and 12 eyes implanted with PanOptix. After 30 days after surgery, contrast sensitivity was measured with the CSV‐1000 test (2.5 metres) for four spatial frequencies (3, 6, 12 and 18 c/g), halo perception was assessed with the Halo.V.1 software and finally quality of life was assessed with the VF‐14 questionnaire.
