Background and study aims
Cataracts occur when changes in the lens of the eye cause it to become less clear, resulting in cloudy or misty vision. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens through a small incision in the eye and replacing it with a clear, plastic intraocular lens (IOL). IOL design is continuously changing in order to improve visual outcomes, increase patient satisfaction and achieve spectacle-independence after cataract surgery. Diffractive bifocal IOLs were designed with concentric rings which create a near and far focus to improve visual function and achieve adequate vision at all distances without spectacles. A drawback of bifocal IOLs is that intermediate performance is often below the requirements for activities such as computer use or looking at the dashboard while driving. Trifocal technology has been developed to create a true intermediate focus to overcome these difficulties. The new AcrySof PanOptix® trifocal IOL (Alcon Research, Fort Worth, TX, USA) has been developed to improve light transmission and distribution between the three focuses and to improve intermediate vision. So far there have been no reports on daily practice clinical outcomes with this new trifocal IOL. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes of patients implanted with the PanOptix lens.
Who can participate?
Patients over 18 years old with cataracts in both eyes who are scheduled to be implanted with the PanOptix lens
What does the study involve?
One month after undergoing cataract surgery and lens implantation, participants undergo a series of tests to determine their visual function for far, intermediate and near distances, as well as in different light settings.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants do not gain anything by participating, but the information obtained will help assess the clinical performance of the IOL so that in the future, ophthalmologists will be able to recommend the best IOL for each patient depending on their lifestyle and visual requirements. There are no known risks as all of the tests are non-invasive.

Scientific title | Visual function in pseudophakic patients with bilateral implantation of Acrysof IQ Panoptix Trifocal intraocular lens |
Study objectives | Intraocular lens (IOL) design is continuously evolving in order to improve visual outcomes, increase patient satisfaction and achieve spectacle-independence after cataract surgery. Diffractive bifocal IOLs were designed with concentric rings which create a near and far focus; pupillary changes help to adjust light distribution between both focuses to improve visual function. A drawback of bifocal IOLs is that intermediate performance is often below the requirements for activities such as computer use or correct dashboard perception while driving. Trifocal technology has been developed to create a true intermediate focus to overcome these difficulties. The new AcrySof PanOptix® trifocal IOL (Alcon Research, Fort Worth, TX, USA) has been developed to improve light transmission and distribution between the three focuses. Its design aims to decrease pupillary dependence for excellent performance and to improve intermediate vision. To the best of our knowledge, so far there have been no reports on daily practice clinical outcomes with this new trifocal IOL. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients with bilateral PanOptix lens implantation. |

Intervention | The study recruited over six months and followed each individual patient for one month after undergoing bilateral cataract surgery. Patients were not randomised, the decision to undergo surgery and the type of lens implanted was taken before entering the study, since the purpose was to characterise visual outcomes with the study intraocular lens Candidates for cataract surgery underwent an extensive ophthalmic evaluation. After an in-depth discussion of the characteristics of monofocal and multifocal lens, the ophthalmologist recommended the intraocular lens best suited to the patient. If the recommended lens was the Panoptix IOL, the patient was considered for inclusion in the study. The purpose of the study was explained to patients with none of the exclusion criteria and patients agreeing to participate signed an informed written consent. One month after surgery, the following specific explorations of the study were performed: monocular defocus curve; mono- and binocular uncorrected visual acuity in photopic and mesopic conditions, for far, intermediate and near distances; subjective refraction and binocular contrast sensitivity in photopic and mesopic conditions. |
Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
Primary outcome measure | Mono- and binocular uncorrected visual acuity in photopic and mesopic conditions, for far, intermediate and near distances, measured at 1 month after surgery: 1.1. Distance visual acuity measured using a 22" LED liquid crystal display system (CC-100 HW 5.0 Series, Topcon) that can display ETDRS charts at 4 meters 1.2. Near visual acuity measured using the Logarithmic Visual Acuity Chart 2000 New ETDRS (Precision Vision, Lasalle, IL) at 33 centimeters 1.3. Intermediate visual acuity, measured with the same chart as near acuity (Logarithmic Visual Acuity Chart 2000 New ETDRS (Precision Vision, Lasalle, IL)) and the value adjusted for the 60 centimeter distance For photopic visual acuity measurements, room luminance was 85 candelas [cd]/m2. Mesopic visual acuity measured after dark adaptation (10 minutes in the testing room under mesopic conditions) with the room luminance set to 3 cd/m2 |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Subjective refraction, performed with the ETDRS chart at 4 meters 2. The defocus curve, performed monocularly with the patients observing the ETDRS chart through lenses starting at -5.00 D and increasing in 0.50 D steps to +3.00 D 3. Binocular contrast sensitivity, measured at spatial frequencies of 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree (cpd) using the functional acuity contrast test (Test SV-1000) of the CC-100 HW 5.0 Series system 4. Binocular contrast sensitivity after dark adaptation (10 minutes in the testing room under mesopic conditions), measured at spatial frequencies of 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree (cpd) using the functional acuity contrast test (Test SV-1000) of the CC-100 HW 5.0 Series system 5. Visual function, assessed using Catquest 9-SF questionnaire Measured at 1 month after surgery |
