One-year prospective study of a HEMA-based hydrophobic acrylic trifocal IOL (Clareon PanOptix): visual performance, patient-reported outcomes, and optic clarity.

ABSTRACT: While Clareon monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) has been reported to be free from surface light scattering and glistenings, it remains unknown whether Clareon PanOptix IOL develops these optical phenomena. This study aimed to evaluate one-year surgical outcomes of this IOL, with a focus on visual function, patient-reported satisfaction, and clarity of IOL optics. A prospective study was conducted in 78 eyes of 39 patients undergoing bilateral implantation of toric or non-toric Clareon PanOptix IOLs. Postoperative examinations were conducted at 1, 6, and 12 months. At 12 months, bilateral uncorrected visual acuity (BUCVA) and bilateral distance-corrected visual acuity (BDCVA) were better than 20/20 at 40 cm, 60 cm, and 5 m. No cases of surface light scattering or glistenings were observed. S
