Clinical Outcomes of Phacoemulsification with Tecnis Eyhance Intraocular Lens Implantation for Management of Cataracts Associated with Posterior Segment Eye Diseases

Abstract

The study included 35 eyes, 74% of which were female, and patients aged 60 or older accounted for 74.3% of the total. The average axial length of the eye was 22.86 mm. The average intraocular lens power was 22.17 ± 3.18 D. Regarding posterior segment eye diseases of the eyes, 40% of those had open-angle glaucoma, 25.7% of those had pre-retinal membrane, 8.6% of those had diabetic retinopathy, 5.7% of those had age-related macular degeneration, 8.6% of those had closed-angle glaucoma, and 11.4% of those had other retinal diseases. The preoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.90 ± 0.26 logMar and the best corrected one was 0.85 ± 0.27 logMar. The preoperative uncorrected intermediate visual acuity was 0.86 ± 0.26 logMar. The preoperative uncorrected near vision was 0.82 ± 0.20 logMar. One-month post-operation, the uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.44 ± 0.17 logMar, the best-corrected one was 0.35 ± 0.18 logMar, the uncorrected intermediate visual acuity was 0.49 ± 0.14 logMar, and the uncorrected near visual acuity was 0.59 ± 0.10 logMar. The number of eyes that differed between high-contrast sensitivity (100%) and low-contrast sensitivity (10%) less than or equal to 3 lines accounted for 80% of the total. The number of eyes that had spherical refraction one-month post-operation ranging from -0.5D to +0.5D accounted for 68.6% of the total. 20/35 eyes (57.1%) had corneal astigmatism less than or equal to 1D. 34/35 eyes (97.1%) had their intraocular lens aligned center to the visual axis. 28/35 eyes (80%) were reported to have no halos or glare. The number of satisfied patients was 26/35 (74.3% of the total).
