Article Abstract

Background: Anterior subcapsular cataract (ASC) is a leading complication of implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation and a common indication for secondary ICL removal. However, the visual outcomes of combined ICL explantation, cataract extraction, and implantation of a TECNIS Symfony ZXR00 IOL with a targeted myopic shift (-0.50D to -0.75D) remain uncertain in highly myopic patients with prior ICL and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) surgeries.

Case Presentation: A 39-year-old male highly myopic patient who underwent concurrent ICL removal, phacoemulsification, and TECNIS Symfony ZXR00 IOL implantation in both eyes, spaced two weeks apart, is reported in this case. Surgical planning prioritized spectacle independence, occupational visual needs, and the IOL's optical properties, with a deliberate residual myopic refraction (-0.50D to -0.75D). At the 3-month follow-up, comprehensive evaluation was conducted, included manifest refraction, anterior segment OCT (Casia2), defocus curves, OPD-Scan III, and the NEI-VFQ-14 questionnaire. The patient achieved excellent near and intermediate vision, high overall optical quality, and reported exceptional satisfaction.

Conclusion: For patients developing ASC post-ICL implantation, particularly those with strong preferences for spectacle independence and specific visual demands, the TECNIS Symfony ZXR00 IOL, combined with optimized residual myopia, may provide outstanding visual performance and patient satisfaction.

Purpose: We compared two hybrid refractive-diffractive IOLs with enhanced depth of focus in an in vitro study with regard to optical quality in monochromatic and polychromatic light as well as their ray-propagation behavior.

Methods: The Mono-EDoF ME4 IOL (Santen Pharmaceutical, Osaka, Japan) and the Tecnis Symfony IOL (Johnson & Johnson Vision, USA) were assessed using the OptiSpheric IOL PRO 2 (Trioptics GmbH, Germany) to measure the through focus (TF) modulation transfer function (MTF) using monochromatic green (546 nm) and polychromatic light at different spatial frequencies. Ray propagation imaging was performed using monochromatic green light (520 nm) projected through each IOL, while submerged in a bath of fluorescein solution.

Background: The goal of this study was to evaluate the presbyopia-correcting performance, binocular visual quality and neurosensory binocular vision of bilateral implantation of an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) with micro-monovision and compare this IOL with two multifocal IOLs.

Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled patients with bilateral implantation of diffractive EDOF IOL (Tecnis Symfony ZXR00, Abbott Medical Optics, Inc.), diffractive trifocal IOL (AT LISA tri 839MP, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) and refractive rotationally asymmetric bifocal IOL (SBL-3, Lenstec, Inc.

Purpose: To assess objective reading performance at intermediate and near distances using the Salzberg Reading Desk (SRD) (SRD Vision) in patients with cataract who underwent the implantation of a diffractive extended depth of focus intraocular lens (EDOF IOL) in the dominant eye and a hybrid multifocal EDOF IOL in the non-dominant eye.

Methods: This prospective, non-comparative, interventional study included 46 eyes of 23 patients with cataract who underwent bilateral cataract surgery with implantation of the DFR00V Tecnis Synergy IOL (Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision) in the non-dominant eye and the DXR00V Tecnis Symfony OptiBlue IOL (Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision) in the dominant eye. At postoperative 6 months, the Salzburg Reading Desk was used to assess distance-corrected reading performance at near and intermediate distances.
