RESUMO
La presbicia es la pérdida gradual y progresiva de la amplitud de acomodación del cristalino que comienza entre los 38 y 40 años de edad y culmina a los 55 años al perderse por completo. Es provocada por el aumento de rigidez del cristalino y, en particular, un mayor cambio en la rigidez del núcleo de su corteza. La presbicia no corregida o hipocorregida tiene un impacto negativo en la calidad de vida en relación con la visión, las personas afectadas experimentan un cambio positivo significativo de productividad en sus actividades diarias al utilizar una corrección óptica adecuada. Las diferentes alternativas de tratamiento deben aplicarse de forma personalizadas para optimizar el rango de enfoque para las tareas diarias, minimizar los efectos visuales adversos y cumplir con las expectativas del paciente según necesidades y alcance económico. Los tratamientos más efectivos y con menos efectos indeseables hasta el momento son los dispositivos ópticos como las gafas y las lentes de contacto. Los métodos quirúrgicos pueden dejar síntomas visuales. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una búsqueda bibliográfica sobre las actuales tendencias en el manejo clínico-quirúrgico de la presbicia(AU)
Presbyopia is the gradual and progressive loss of the accommodative range of the crystalline lens that begins between 38 and 40 years of age and culminates at 55 years of age when it is completely lost. It is caused by increased stiffness of the lens and, in particular, a greater change in the stiffness of the nucleus of its cortex. Uncorrected or undercorrected presbyopia has a negative impact on quality of life in relation to vision, affected individuals experience a significant positive change in productivity in their daily activities when using an appropriate optical correction. The different treatment alternatives should be applied in a personalized way to optimize the range of focus for daily tasks, minimize adverse visual effects and meet the patient's expectations according to needs and economic scope. The most effective treatments with the least undesirable effects so far are optical devices such as glasses and contact lenses. Surgical methods may leave visual symptoms. The aim of this study was to perform a literature search on current trends in the clinical-surgical management of presbyopia(AU)

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the clinical efficacy between Wei's triple nine needling combined with esculin and digitalis glycosides eye drops and esculin and digitalis glycosides eye drops alone for presbyopia complicated with visual fatigue of liver depression and spleen deficiency.@*METHODS@#Forty-six cases (92 eyes) with presbyopia complicated with visual fatigue of liver depression and spleen deficiency were randomly divided into an observation group (23 cases) and a control group (23 cases, 2 cases dropped off). The cases in the observation group were treated with Wei's triple nine needling and esculin and digitalis glycosides eye drops. The acupoints included Shangming (Extra), Chengqi (ST 1), Cuanzhu (BL 2) to Jingming (BL 1), Sizhukong (TE 23) to Taiyang (EX-HN 5), etc; the needling was given once every other day, three times a week, and the eye drops were given one drop each time, three times a day. The cases in the control group were only treated with the eye drops. Both groups were treated for 7 days as one course of treatment, and 2 courses of treatment were given. The visual fatigue core symptoms score, adjustment amplitude, adjustment lag and best average corrected visual acuity were observed in the two groups before treatment, 1 week and 2 weeks into treatment, respectively.@*RESULTS@#Compared before treatment, the visual fatigue core symptoms scores in the two groups were decreased after 1-week and 2-week treatment (P<0.05); in the observation group, the adjustment amplitude was increased after 2-week treatment (P<0.05), while in the control group, the adjustment amplitude was increased after 1-week and 2-week treatment (P<0.05); in the observation group, the adjustment lag was decreased after 1-week and 2-week treatment (P<0.05). After 2-week treatment, the visual fatigue core symptoms score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the adjustment amplitude was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in adjustment lag and best average corrected visual acuity between the two groups after 1-week and 2-week treatment (P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Wei's triple nine needling combined with esculin and digitalis glycosides eye drops could improve the visual fatigue and eye regulation ability in patients with presbyopia complicated with visual fatigue of liver depression and spleen deficiency, and the effect is better than esculin and digitalis glycosides eye drops alone.

Introduction : Les amétropies sont des troubles de la vision dus à un fonctionnement défectueux du système optique formé par la succession la cornée, le cristallin et la rétine. Les vices de réfraction (myopie, hypermétropie, astigmatisme, presbytie) donnent des images floues sur la rétine. L'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) estime à 153 millions le nombre des personnes souffrant de la déficience visuelle due à des vices de réfraction non corrigés. Le présent travail a pour objectif de déterminer la fréquence et le profil des patients avec amétropies aux Cliniques universitaires de Graben. Méthodes : Notre étude était du type descriptif transversale ayant couvert une période allant du 01 Janvier au 31 Décembre 2020. Notre échantillon a été exhaustif, c'est-à-dire il a été constitué de toute la population d'étude. Résultats : La fréquence des amétropies a été de 11,47%. L'astigmatisme était l'amétropie la plus représentée avec 47,86 %suivi de la myopie avec 38,90% et de l'hypermétropie avec 13,24%. La tranche d'âge la plus touchée est celle des adultes, âge (21-60 ans) avec 73,9% et la moins touchée est de 0-10 ans avec 0,8%. Le taux des déficiences visuelles a diminué après la correction optique et les cas de bonne vision sont passés de 81,1% à 99,4% de bonne acuité visuelle. Conclusion. Les amétropies constituent un réel problème de santé publique. De ce fait, nous encourageons le check up volontaire, comme les amétropies sont souvent méconnues et indolores, pourtant une cause non négligeable de déficience visuelle facilement évitable.
Introduction: : Ametropia are vision disorders due to damage to the visual system caused by a various abnormality in the cornea, lens and retina. The refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia) cause a very weak capacity for the eye retina to properly watch images. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 153 million of people could be suffering from visual issues due to untreated refractive deficiencies. This study aimed to determine the frequency et profil of patients with ametropia. Methods: Our study was of a kind of crosssectional descriptive which covered a time interval from January 01 to December 31, 2020. Our sample was comprehensive and was based on several cases. Results: The frequency of ametropia was 11.47%. Astigmatism was the most prevalent ametropia with 47.86% followed by myopia with 38.90% and hyperopia with 13.24%.The most affected people are adults aged from 21 and 60 years with 73.9% and the least affected are children aged from 0 to 10 years with 0.8%.However, the rate of eyes abnormalities started decreasing after optical treatment and consequently the cases of eyes issues recoveries was about from 81.1% to 99.4% of sight improvement acuity. Conclusion: Ametropia is a real public health problem. As a result, we encourage voluntary check-ups, as ametropia is often unrecognized and painless, yet a significant cause of easily avoidable visual impairment.

ABSTRACT The term dysfunctional lens syndrome has gained acceptance in the field and encompasses natural changes due to aging of crystalline lens. The evolution of diagnostic devices has been a key factor in better staging, understanding and characterizing of these degenerative changes. Even with these technological advances and the use of subjective classifications, such as the classic Lens Opacities Classification System, an objective staging of early dysfunctional lens syndrome has yet to be established. Ocular wavefront aberrometry and objective scatter index, associated with Scheimpflug backscatter densitometry, have proven instrumental in detecting early dysfunctional lens syndrome. Staging of early dysfunctional lens syndrome has been proposed in the literature, but no classification has been recognized worldwide. The purpose of this literature review is to assess the current state of dysfunctional lens syndrome from a technological perspective and propose a new staging system to assist surgeons in making surgical decisions.
RESUMO O termo "síndrome disfuncional do cristalino" tem sido mais aceito na área e engloba mudanças naturais devido ao envelhecimento do cristalino. A evolução dos dispositivos diagnósticos tem sido fator fundamental para melhor estadiamento, compreensão e caracterização dessas alterações. Mesmo com esses avanços tecnológicos e o uso de classificações subjetivas, como o Lens Opacities Classification System , um estadiamento objetivo da síndrome disfuncional do cristalino precoce ainda não foi estabelecido. A aberrometria ocular total e o índice de superfície ocular, associado à densitometria de Scheimpflug, mostraram-se instrumentais na detecção da síndrome disfuncional do cristalino precoce. Embora estadiamentos precoces de síndrome disfuncional do cristalino tenham sido propostos na literatura, nenhum foi reconhecido mundialmente até o momento. O objetivo desta revisão de literatura é avaliar o estado atual da síndrome disfuncional do cristalino a partir de uma perspectiva tecnológica, e propor um novo sistema de estadiamento para auxiliar os cirurgiões na tomada de decisões cirúrgicas.

Resumo Objetivos: Avaliar a satisfação dos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de Presbilasik central e determinar a prevalência de sintomas relatados após a cirurgia. Métodos: Este é um estudo descritivo, observacional, transversal, com dados obtidos de pacientes submetidos previamente ao PresbiLASIK. Resultados: A amostra consistiu de 45 pacientes, com média de idade de 57,7 (±7,19) anos. A nota média atribuída para a satisfação visual com o procedimento foi 8.9 (±1.0). A qualidade visual após a cirurgia foi classificada como igual ou melhor que a esperada por 84,5% dos pacientes e 31% apresentaram sintomas noturnos, como halos e raios de cometa. Conclusão: A qualidade de visão após o procedimento de PresbiLASIK foi altamente satisfatória para os pacientes. Fator determinante dessa satisfação é o processo de manejo das expectativas pré-operatórias dos pacientes, informando das possibilidades terapêuticas disponíveis, e, no caso da escolha cirúrgica, acerca das vantagens e limitações.
Abstract Objectives: Toassess the satisfaction of patients undergoing central Presbilasik surgery and to determine the age of patients who undergo PresbiLASIK and the prevalence of symptoms reported after surgery. Methods: This is a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study with data collected from patients previously submitted to PresbiLASIK. Results: The sample consisted of 45 patients, with a mean age of 57.7 (±7,19) years. The average score attributed to visual satisfaction with the procedure was 8.9 (±1.0). Visual quality after surgery was classified as equal to or better than expected by 84.5% of the patients and 31% complained of nocturnal symptoms such as halos and comet rays. Conclusion: The quality of vision after the PresbiLASIK procedure was highly satisfactory for the patients. A determining factor for this satisfaction is the process of managing patients' preoperative expectations, informing them about the therapeutic possibilities available, and, in the case of surgical choice, about its advantages and limitations.

This review gives an overview of the current multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) landscape, in terms of the technology, benefits, and limitations of different premium IOLs, as well as significant clinical outcomes. Cataract is the most common cause of visual impairment in older adults. From 1980, the number of blind and visually impaired people have decreased due to cataract surgery. As the number of surgical procedures increases every year, patient demands have also changed with many patients expecting excellent visual acuity without glasses. Multifocal IOLs can provide spectacle-independence for near, intermediate, and distant vision tasks. Multifocal IOLs can be classified into bifocal, trifocal, and extended depth of focus multifocal IOLs. The ultimate goal of multifocal lenses includes reduced incidence of photic phenomena, and improved uncorrected near, intermediate, and far visual acuities for those working with computers and smartphones, as well as no contrast sensitivity loss. Although some patients have issues with halos and glare, overall patient satisfaction and quality of life are generally high after multifocal IOL implantation. Careful patient selection should be made to satisfy different individual needs.

Presbyopia is an age-related condition that progressively decreases the ability to focus on near objects. Minimally invasive surgical techniques have been developed to improve near vision, including laser in situ keratomileuses (LASIK) and corneal inlay. Most have similar approaches using monovision or increasing the depth of focus. Monovision laser refractive surgery is a combination of conventional LASIK, LASIK which creates a multifocal cornea (central near or peripheral near) and aspheric micro-monovision LASIK with a special ablation profile, which develops spherical aberration. Conductive keratoplasty is a method that uses radiofrequency energy to shrink the mid-peripheral corneal stromal tissue. However, it is not used because of regression. A corneal inlay is a small device that is implanted in the corneal flap or pocket made by a femtosecond laser. It is inserted into the non-dominant eye. There are various inlays such as the Flexivue Microlens (refractive), Raindrop (corneal shape-changing), and KAMRA (small-aperture) inlays. However, the safety and effectiveness of these inlays have not been proven over a long follow-up period, so care is required when performing inlay implantation. All presbyopia treatments can improve near vision but also have limitations and side effects such as reduced far vision, contrast sensitivity, or increased glare. Therefore, it is essential to select patients carefully. Mechanisms associated with presbyopia are not fully understood, and presbyopia remains challenging for ophthalmologists.

This study aimed to describe the basic optical properties for presbyopia correction, including eyeglasses and contact lenses. Conventional eyeglasses are the most established technology for presbyopia correction, and contact lenses have been recognized to have a huge potential in presbyopia correction. However, successful treatment using contact lenses is dependent on age-related factors, such as upper and lower eyelid movements, palpebral aperture, and decreased lacrimal secretion and tear stability. Monovision and multifocality are optical properties of the lens that form the basis of presbyopia correction. The monovision method is based on the principle of neuro-adaptation, wherein one eye automatically selects a clear image and suppresses an unclear image for processing in the brain when there is a difference in the clarity of the images obtained from both the eyes because of anisopia, which is characterized by unequal visual power between the two eyes. Simultaneous views of near and far objects cannot be achieved using eyeglasses, but these can be realized using contact lenses or intraocular lenses. Alternative views of near and far objects can be achieved using a variety of bifocal contact lenses, which function similar to bifocal eyeglasses. Traditional strategies for presbyopia correction, including the use of monovision, bi/tri/multifocal, and progressive eyeglasses and the use of contact lenses, are being challenged by novel strategies involving pharmacotherapy and electrostimulation. Although the immediate prospect of any newly developed innovation remains slim, improved lens profiles would lead to a better match between the lens and the needs of individuals with presbyopia.

Presbyopia is an aging eye. All parts of our body may lose their function with aging. The representative aging diseases in the field of ophthalmology are cataract and macular degeneration. Presbyopia is also a natural aging phenomenon that people has difficulty in focusing on near subject. There is a structure called lens in our eye and the function of lens is a refraction of lignt. Lens helps us focusing an object that we want to see with changing its thickness. When we try to focus on near subjects, ciliary muscle contracts to release the lens zonule and the lens becomes thicker. When we try to see far subjects, ciliary muscle relaxes and lens becomes thinner. These changes of lens thickness occurs very fast in young people, but with aging, the speed of changing the thickness of lens becomes slow. Finally, aged people can't change the lens thickness and can't focus on near subject without the help of near glasses and so on. In this case, we call it presbyopia.

PURPOSE: To compare the effects of bifocal versus trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) implantation on visual quality after phacoemulsification in patients with cataracts. METHODS: Eighty-eight eyes from 63 patients were analyzed. Trifocal (AT LISA tri 839MP), bifocal (AcrySof IQ ReSTOR) and bifocal (Tecnis MF ZLB00) IOLs were implanted into 53, 18, and 17 eyes, respectively. Uncorrected distance, intermediate and near visual acuity, refractive errors, contrast sensitivity, and patient satisfaction were measured at 1 week and 1 month after surgery. Refractive error was converted to a spherical equivalent and compared to predicted refraction calculated by IOL calculation formulas. RESULTS: Uncorrected distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity did not differ significantly between groups. One month after surgery, the mean refractive errors were −0.07 diopters (D) in the AT LISA tri 839MP group, +0.18 D in the AcrySof IQ ReSTOR group, and +0.31 D in the Tecnis MF ZLB00 group (p < 0.001). The predictive accuracy of IOL calculation formulas did not differ between groups. Contrast sensitivity, satisfaction, and spectacle independence in the trifocal group were comparable with those of the two bifocal groups. CONCLUSIONS: Trifocal IOL and two different types of bifocal IOL implantation were all effective for improving visual quality, although refractive error in patients with trifocal IOL shows myopic tendencies.

This study investigates the characteristics and clinical outcomes of different types of extended depth-of-focus and multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) to determine which IOL can increase patient satisfaction. Modern cataract surgery has undergone tremendous evolution in terms of IOL quality. Recently, different types of presbyopia-correcting IOLs have become commercially available. Among them, multifocal IOLs are the most frequently used. Multifocal IOLs are different from conventional monofocal IOLs because these have multiple focus, which enable patients to see both distant and near objects at the same time. Multifocal IOLs can be classified as either refractive or diffractive IOLs. Diffractive multifocal IOLs include traditional bifocal lenses and relatively new trifocal lenses, and are the most widely used multifocal IOLs owing to their good clinical performance. Trifocal IOLs have an advantage over bifocal IOLs in terms of intermediate visual acuity, but can cause decreased contrast sensitivity and night vision disturbances. Recently developed extended depth-of-focus IOLs are different from traditional multifocal IOLs in that these extend the focus, resulting in smooth continuous focus. It also has the benefit of better contrast sensitivity and improved visual quality over multifocal IOLs; however, is relatively weak in terms of near visual acuity.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether eye dominance changes after conventional pseudophakic monovision, and to identify factors that affect changes in eye dominance. METHODS: This retrospective study included 70 patients who underwent bilateral conventional monovision cataract surgery. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they experienced a change in the dominant eye. We compared patients' uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalent, stereopsis, and time interval between cataract surgeries. RESULTS: The mean age was 71.26 ± 10.84 (range, 25–90) years, mean interval between surgery in each eye was 118.46 ± 183.50 (range, 17–1,018) days, and mean postoperative diopter difference was 1.16 ± 0.53 (range, 0.00–2.75) diopters. After bilateral cataract surgery, 22 patients (31.43%) experienced a change in eye dominance, whereas 48 patients (68.57%) experienced no change. There were no differences in the time interval between cataract surgeries, preoperative UCDVA and UCNVA, pre- and postoperative BCVA, or stereopsis in either group. Patients who experienced a change in eye dominance showed smaller differences between preoperative and postoperative spherical equivalent, compared with patients who experienced no change in eye dominance (t-test, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Twenty-two (31.43%) patients whose nondominant eyes were targeted for near vision showed altered eye dominance after conventional monovision cataract surgery. Eye dominance shows greater plasticity in patients with smaller differences between preoperative and postoperative spherical equivalent.

Resumo Objetivo: Monovisão é um conceito que descreve a correção propositadamente desigual da visão de em um olho para longe e outro olho para perto, sendo utilizada principalmente para correção da presbiopia. O objetivo principal foi avaliar a satisfação dos pacientes com a cirurgia refrativa de monovisão avançada. Os objetivos secundários foram avaliar a necessidade de uso de óculos após a cirurgia, e analise do perfil dos participantes. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal observacional de série de casos baseado na revisão de prontuários de participantes submetidos a cirurgia refrativa de monovisão em uma clínica oftalmológica privada. A população estudada foi do tipo não-probabilistica com n de 50 participantes. A amostragem foi por conveniência, sendo selecionados os prontuários dos últimos 50 participantes que retornaram para consulta de revisão após a cirurgia refrativa realizada até novembro de 2016. Resultados: Foram analisados 50 prontuários. Quando questionados sobre a satisfação com o procedimento, a nota média atribuída foi 9,4 ± 0,6 dentro de uma escala de 0 a 10. Sobre a necessidade do uso de óculos após o procedimento, 92% dos pacientes referiram não necessitar. Os demais 8% que referiram utilizar eventualmente óculos para perto eram hipermetropes antes da cirurgia Conclusão: Concluímos que o índice de satisfação com a cirurgia de monovisão na amostra estudada foi alto e a maioria dos participantes referiu não necessitar de óculos após o procedimento. A amostra foi composta majoritariamente por mulheres com média de idade de 52 anos, hipermetropes, que realizaram a cirurgia em ambos os olhos. Nossa amostra foi distinta de outros estudos devido ao fato de incluirmos maior parte de participantes hipermetropes.
Abstract Objective: Monovision is a concept that describes the purposely unequal correction of vision from one eye to the other and eye to eye, and is mainly used to correct presbyopia. The main objective was to evaluate patients' satisfaction with advanced monovision refractive surgery. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the need for glasses after surgery, and to analyze the profile of the participants. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study of a series of cases was carried out based on the review of medical records of participants submitted to refractive surgery of monovision in a private ophthalmologic clinic. The population studied was of the non-probabilistic type with n of 50 participants. Sampling was for convenience, and the medical records of the last 50 participants who returned for revision consultation after refractive surgery performed until November 2016 were selected. Results: Fifty patients were analyzed. When questioned about satisfaction with the procedure, the mean score assigned was 9.4 ± 0.6 on a scale of 0 to 10. Regarding the need for glasses after the procedure, 92% of the patients reported not needing it. Conclusion: We concluded that the satisfaction index with monovision surgery in the sample studied was high and most of the participants reported that they did not require glasses after the procedure. The sample consisted mainly of women with mean age of 52 years, hypermetropes, who underwent surgery in both eyes. Our sample was different from other studies due to the fact that we included most participants with hypermetropes.

ABSTRACT We describe a case of late-onset remarkable depigmentation of a small aperture corneal inlay implanted for presbyopia compensation. The patient was a participant in a clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the AcuFocusTM ACU-10R160, which is a 10 µm-thick polyimide film tinted with an organic dye. Inlay implantation occurred under mechanical microkeratome Lasik flaps set for a depth of 120 µm. The patient returned to the clinic 11 years after surgery and reported loss of near-vision acuity. Clinical examination showed the complete absence of pigments in the device and the total loss of the initial effect on near vision, despite normal distance vision. Manifest refraction remained stable during the follow-up period. Scheimpflug images characterized the loss of the small aperture effect on incoming light. Confocal analysis revealed small hyper-reflective round images on the endothelium and no signs of inflammation.
RESUMO Descrevemos um caso de importante despigmentação de início tardio de implante corneano de pequena abertura implantada para compensação de presbiopia. O paciente foi um dos participantes de ensaio clínico destinado a avaliar a segurança e eficácia do AcuFocusTM ACU-10R160, uma película de poliimida de 10 microns de espessura, tingida com um corante orgânico. A implantação ocorreu sob um flap de Lasik criado por microcerátomo mecânico ajustado para profundidade de 120 µm. O caso aqui descrito foi avaliado 11 anos após a cirurgia, relatando diminuição de acuidade de visão para perto. O exame clínico mostrou ausência total de pigmentos no dispositivo e perda total do efeito inicial na visão de perto, apesar da visão normal para distância. A refração manifesta permaneceu estável durante o período de seguimento. As imagens de Scheimpflug caracterizaram a perda do efeito da abertura pequena na luz entrante. A análise de microscopia confocal revelou pequenas imagens hiper-reflexivas redondas sobre o endotélio, sem sinais de inflamação.

Orthokeratology is the way to correct the myopia or astigmatism by flattening or the central cornea with specialty lenses. The range of correction is from − 2.50 to − 4.00 diopters after 10 days of fitting. The designs is constructed with flat base curve radius, steep reverse curve, flat alignment curve, and peripheral curve. This multi-cuve design enabled the orthokeratology lenses to stay on the cornea stably and effectively. Recently, the application of orthokeratology is extending to hyperopia and presbyopia. In the future, the amount of correction and the application of orthokeratology will increase more and more.

Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing exponentially often causing an enormous public health burden due to changing lifestyles. People with diabetes have accelerated age-related biometric ocular changes compared with people without diabetes.Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of diabetes on the amplitude of accommodation in pre-presbyopic diabetic patients, and compare the results with age-matched healthy individuals.Methods: The study population consisted of 84 diabetic patients (3040 years of age, 36 ± 2.5 years and 81 (35 ± 2.7 years) age matched healthy normal controls. Using the best correction for distance visual acuity, the amplitude of accommodation was measured using the subjective push-up technique. The influence of age and duration of diabetes on amplitude of accommodation were analysed using the regression analysis.Results: The mean amplitude of accommodation was lower in the diabetic group (6.34 ± 1.39 dioptre (D)) compared with the controls (8.60 ± 2.00 D), which was statistically significant (p = 0.000). There was a little negative correlation between the amplitude of accommodation and duration of diabetes (0.20, p = 0.069).Conclusion: People with diabetes showed lower amplitude of accommodation when compared with age-matched controls. The results suggest that diabetic people will experience presbyopia earlier in life than people without diabetes. Early detection and rehabilitation of diabetic patients with corrective spectacle lenses is recommended

ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare visual acuity (VA), contrast sensitivity, stereopsis, and subjective visual performance of Acuvue® Oasys® for Presbyopia (AOP), Air Optix® Aqua Multifocal (AOMF), and Air Optix® Aqua Single Vision (AOSV) lenses in patients with presbyopia. Methods: A single-blinded crossover trial was conducted. Twenty patients with mild presbyopia (add ≤+1.25 D) and 22 with moderate/severe presbyopia (add ≥+1.50 D) who wore lenses bilaterally for 1 h, with a minimum overnight washout period between the use of each lens. Measurements included high- and low-contrast visual acuity (HCVA and LCVA, respectively) at a distance, contrast sensitivity (CS) at a distance, HCVA at intermediate (70 cm) and near (50 cm & 40 cm) distances, stereopsis, and subjective questionnaires regarding vision clarity, ghosting, overall vision satisfaction, and comfort. The test variables were compared among the lens types using repeated-measures ANOVA. Results: Distance variables (HCVA, LCVA, and CS) were significantly worse with multifocal lens than with AOSV lens (p≤0.008), except for AOMF lens in the mild presbyopia group in which no significant difference was observed (p>0.05). Multifocal lenses had significantly greater HCVA at 40 cm than AOSV lens (p≤0.026). AOMF lens had greater intermediate HCVA than AOP lens (p<0.03). AOP lens demonstrated greater improvements in stereopsis than AOMF and AOSV lens in the moderate/severe presbyopia group (p≤0.03). Few significant differences in subjective variables were observed, with no significant difference in the overall vision satisfaction observed between lens types (p>0.05). The proportions of patients willing to buy AOSV, AOMF, and AOP lenses were 20%, 40%, and 50%, respectively, in the mild presbyopia group and 14%, 32%, and 23%, respectively, in the moderate/severe presbyopia group; however, these differences were not statistically significant (p≥0.159). Conclusions: Further development of multifocal lenses is required before significant advantages of multifocal lenses over single vision lens are observed in patients with presbyopia.
RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar a acuidade visual, sensibilidade ao contraste, estereopsia e desempenho visual subjetivo de présbitas usando lentes de contato Acuvue Oasys para presbiopia (AOP), Air Optix Aqua Multifocal (AOMF) e Air Optix Aqua Single Vision (AOSV). Método: Foi realizado estudo mascarado simples, cruzado. Vinte pacientes com presbiopia baixa (adição ≤+1,25 D) e 22 com presbiopia média/alta (adição ≥+1,50 D) usaram cada lente bilateralmente durante 1 hora, com descanso mínimo de uma noite entre as diferentes lentes. As medições incluíram acuidade visual para distância em alto e baixo contraste (HCVA, LCVA), sensibilidade ao contraste para distância (CS), HCVA para distância intermediária (70 cm) e para perto (50 cm e 40 cm), estereopsia e questionários subjetivos sobre nitidez visual, fantasmas, satisfação visão geral e conforto. As variáveis foram comparadas entre os tipos de lentes, utilizando medidas repetidas ANOVA. Resultados: As variáveis para distância (HCVA, LCVA, CS) foram significativamente piores com as multifocais em relação a AOSV (p≤0,008), exceto para AOMF no grupo de baixa adição, que não foi significativamente diferente (p>0,05). As multifocais foram significativamente melhores do que a AOSV para HCVA em 40 cm (p≤0,026). AOMF superou AOP para HCVA intermediária (p<0,03). AOP superou AOMF e AOSV em relação à estereopsia no grupo de presbiopia médio/alto (p≤0,03). Houve poucas diferenças significativas nas variáveis subjetivas, mas a satisfação visual global não foi significativamente diferente entre as lentes (p>0,05). A disposição para comprar lentes AOSV, AOMF e AOP foi: 20%, 40%, 50%, respectivamente, no grupo de presbiopia baixa; 14%, 32%, 23% no grupo de presbiopia média/alto, mas essas diferenças não foram estatisticamente significativas (p≥0,159). Conclusões: Melhorias futuras parecem ser necessárias para produção de uma lente multifocal que forneça aos présbitas uma vantagem significativa sobre a lente de visão única.
