Comparison of Visual Performance Among Two Multifocal–Extended Depth-of-Focus Intraocular Lens Types and a Trifocal Intraocular Lens

PURPOSE: To compare the visual performance of a new multifocal-extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) (TECNIS Odyssey, Johnson & Johnson) with that of an earlier multifocal-EDOF IOL (TECNIS Synergy; Johnson & Johnson) and a trifocal IOL (PanOptix; Alcon Laboratories, Inc). METHODS: Ninety eyes of 90 patients who received one of two types of multifocal-EDOF IOLs or a trifocal IOL were enrolled. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity at various distances, photopic and mesopic contrast visual acuity, and degree of photic symptoms were evaluated at 3 months postoperatively and compared among groups. RESULTS: ⩽ .040). CONCLUSIONS: The Odyssey provided better uncorrected far and intermediate visual acuities from infinity to 1 m than the other IOLs despite no significant difference in distance-corrected visual acuity. However, it showed worse uncorrected and distance-corrected near visual acuity and intermediate visual acuities at 0.5 m, suggesting that the Odyssey has far-dominant properties and greater tolerance to refractive errors.
