Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the optical and clinical performance of an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) (TECNIS Eyhance ICB00; Johnson & Johnson Vision) in patients with high hyperopia and a short axial length.
Methods: Power mapping, wavefront analysis, and the through-focus modulation transfer function area (TF-MTFa) were measured in vitro for three IOL powers (10.00, 20.00, and 30.00 diopters [D]). The clinical study included 22 patients with an axial length of less than 22.5 mm. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuity and binocular defocus curve were evaluated 6 months postoperatively.
Results: For the three IOL powers, the power mapping revealed an increase in positive power from the periphery to the center of the lens, providing an extra positive correction of 1.00 D for a 2-mm pupil size. The TF-MTFa curves showed only a peak of maximum MTFa at the distance focus. As the pupil size became smaller, there was a focus extension effect, providing an extended depth of focus of up to -1.50 D for a 2-mm pupil size. No significant dependency of the IOL base power on the power profile, wavefront, or optical quality was found. The clinical outcomes showed that all patients achieved a binocular CDVA of 0.1 logMAR or better. The mean visual acuity was better than 0.1 logMAR between +0.50 and -1.50 D of defocus. At a vergence of -2.00 D, the visual acuity was 0.11 ± 0.13 logMAR.
Conclusions: The monofocal enhanced IOL provided good distance optical and visual quality and optimal visual acuity up to an intermediate-near vision distance of 50 to 40 cm in patients with high hyperopia and a short axial length.
