Evaluation of the Real World Outcomes of the Tecnis Eyhance Intraocular Lens Implant in Cataract Surgery
Purpose: To evaluate real world visual outcomes of patients in terms of distance and intermediate vision using the Tecnis Eyhance™ intraocular lens (IOL), an enhanced monofocal IOL.
Methods: An observational study of 50 consecutive patients who underwent cataract surgery using the J&J Tecnis Eyhance™ IOL implant were reviewed 1 month postoperatively. At this post- operative review a clinical examination was performed assessing intraocular pressure and presence/ absence of uveitis. Visual acuity in LogMAR was measured at distance unaided, with distance correction and with pinhole. Intermediate vision at 70cm was measured on LogMAR to a maximum of 0.3 and with a near visual acuity chart.
Results: There were no intraoperative or early post-operative complications. The average best corrected distance visual acuity was 0.084 LogMAR. 69% of eyes had corrected distance VA >/= 0.1 LogMAR (6/7.5), 89% >/=0.2LogMAR (6/9.5) and 100% > 0.4 LogMAR (6/15).
At 70 cm 78% of eyes had DCIVA of at least 0.3LogMAR and 95% of eyes had DCIVA of 0.4LogMAR or better.
Conclusion: The Tecnis Eyhance IOL was found to be as easy to use as the current alternative IOLs surgically. It provided excellent distance visual acuity and in addition to this approximately half had intermediate vision of N12 or better and all all patients had intermediate vision of N36 or better
This results of this IOL demonstrated that the Tecnis Eyhance™ IOL is a safe alternative to monofocal IOLs and has the potential to give patients reasonable spectacle independence for intermediate tasks.
