This study compared the efficacy and safety of enhanced and standard monofocal intraocular lenses for early glaucoma patients. The results showed that enhanced monofocal IOLs provided better intermediate vision, higher satisfaction, and lower dependence on spectacles, without worsening other visual outcomes.
This study aimed to compare the efficacies and safety of enhanced and standard monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) in eyes with early glaucoma. Patients with concurrent cataracts and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) were enrolled. They underwent cataract surgery with IOL implantation. The comprehensive preoperative ophthalmic examination included the manifest refraction; monocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA); visual field (VF); and contrast sensitivity (CS); defocus curves and questionnaires were assessed three months postoperatively. Totals of 34 and 38 patients had enhanced and standard monofocal IOLs, respectively. The enhanced monofocal IOL provided better UIVA than the standard monofocal IOL (p = 0.003) but similar UDVA, CDVA, and UNVA. The enhanced monofocal IOL had more consistent defocus curves than the standard monofocal IOL, especially at -1 (p = 0.042) and -1.5 (p = 0.026) diopters. The enhanced monofocal IOL provided better satisfaction (p = 0.019) and lower spectacle dependence (p = 0.004) than the standard monofocal IOL for intermediate vision, with similar VF and CS outcomes. In conclusion, enhanced monofocal IOLs are recommended for patients with OAG because they provide better intermediate vision, higher satisfaction, and lower dependence on spectacles than standard monofocal IOLs, without worsening other visual outcomes.
