RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To analyze visual functions in moderate and high myopic patients with retinal detachment that developed after implantation of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study analyzed the functional outcomes achieved in 3 patients (4 eyes) with retinal detachment developed after implantation of AcrySof IQ PanOptix («Alcon¼, USA) and AT LISA tri 839 MP («Carl Zeiss Meditec¼, Germany) during the follow-up period of 24 months. Patient examination included measurements of visual acuity at far (4 and 5 m), near (40 cm) and intermediate distances (60 cm, 80 cm), spatial contrast sensitivity, spherical equivalent of refraction, and a survey of patients for subjective satisfaction of the obtained vision. RESULTS: In four eyes of three patients with moderate and high myopia, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was diagnosed during the follow-up period at 4 to 12 months after phacoemulsification of cataract with trifocal IOL implantation. The best visual indicators were found in patient N. as a result of surgical treatment of bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment due to high myopia: visual acuity (VA) at far distance was 1.0 for each eye (with 100 points on the VF-14 questionnaire). In patients P. and M., after the development of unilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, complete retinal reattachment was achieved after surgery with VA at far distance 0.55 (OS) in patient P. and 0.4 (OD) in patient M. (95 and 86 points on VF-14, respectively). CONCLUSION: Good visual functions were achieved in three patients with trifocal IOL after surgical treatment of the rhegmatogenous retinal detachment that developed due to myopia. The implanted trifocal IOL did not affect the effectiveness of vitrectomy. After the treatment patients retained the ability to see at different distances.
