Optical Aberrations And Visual Outcomes Of Synergy Multifocal And Synergy Multifocal Toric Intraocular Lenses

To evaluate the optical abberations and visual outcomes of a new multifocal toric lens-Synergy Toric II after 1 and 6 months of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation

Health Science University, Kayseri City Training and Research Hospital, Department of
Ophthalmology, Kayseri, Turkey

In this study, 22 patients who had multifocal and 20 patients multifocal toric IOL (TECNIS Synergy, Tecnis Synergy Toric II IOL, Johnson & Johnson Vision) implanted were included. The uncorrected and corrected distance (UDVA and CDVA),
intermediate at 80 cm (UIVA and CIVA), and near at 40 cm (UNVA and CNVA) visual acuities were recorded before and after phacoemulsification surgery. The wavefront analysis were evaluated by using iDesign Advanced Wavescan StudioTM System (Johnson & Johnson Vision)values evaluated as root mean square (RMS). The results were compared between groups.

There were 44 eyes of 22 patients in Synergy Toric group and 40 eyes in Synergy group. At first month; the mean binocular UDVA-CDVA
and UIVA-CIVA were similar between groups (P=0.12, P=0.11 and
P=0.23, P=0.34; respectively). The 1st month mean binocular UNVA and CNVA were slightly better than Synergy Toric however not statistically significant (P=0.07 and P=0.10). The visual acuities remained similar at 6th month. At 1th month and 6 months both total aberrations and HOAs were similar in each group (at 1st month P=0.34, P=0.23 at 6th months p=0.25 and p=0.38).

Both multifocal IOLs performed similar visual acuities at 1st mont and 6th months postoperatively. Besides, a similar abberations werre observed in both lenses.
