Implantation of bilateral PanOptix trifocal IOL provided satisfactory visual outcomes and quality of vision and life in Chinese patients. Purpose: To report the visual outcomes and quality of vision and life after bilateral implantation of a single-piece trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in Chinese patients. Setting: Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, Hong Kong, China. Design: Prospective, observational case series. Methods: Patients with bilateral implantation of AcrySof IQ PanOptix multifocal IOL were included. Distance, intermediate (60 cm), and near (40 cm) visual acuities (VAs) and contrast sensitivity (CS), defocus curve, preoperative higher-order aberration (HOA), dysphotopsia (0 to 5), satisfaction (1 to 5), spectacle independence, and quality of life were evaluated. The association between preoperative HOA and postoperative halos was also assessed. Results: 54 eyes of 27 patients were included. The mean binocular distance, intermediate, and near uncorrected VA was −0.05 ± 0.06 (20/18), 0.06 ± 0.10 (20/23), and 0.04 ± 0.05 (20/22), respectively. No eyes lost more than 1 line of vision. Binocular CS was comparable with the monocular population norm of older adults. The defocus curve demonstrated that the binocular VA of 20/25 or better was achieved at a power of −3.00 to +0.50 diopters. The mean scores for halos, glare, and starbursts were 2.4 ± 1.4, 0.2 ± 0.8, and 1.4 ± 1.4 (of 5), respectively. The mean satisfaction score was 4.3 ± 0.7 (of 5). All the patients (100%) reported total spectacle independence. The mean vision-targeted composite score of the vision-related quality-of-life questionnaire was 97.2 ± 9.7 (of 100). Preoperative HOA was not associated with postoperative halos. Conclusions: Implantation of the trifocal IOL provided satisfactory visual outcomes and quality of vision and life, which resulted in a high rate of spectacle independence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
