Comparison of visual performance outcomes following PanOptix and symfony ZXR00 intraocular lens implantation using the area under the distance-corrected defocus curve.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to compare visual performance, defined and quantified as the visual acuity reserve through the area under the distance-corrected defocus curve (AUC), along with visual acuity at discrete distances and modulation transfer function (MTF), following implantation of PanOptix TFNT00 trifocal and Symfony ZXR00 extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Methods

This prospective study included patients, with only one eye per patient studied, who underwent cataract extraction with PanOptix or Symfony IOL implantation between May 2023 and May 2024 at Chongqing Aier Eye Hospital, China. Clinical data were collected at 3 months postoperatively. The total AUC (ST: 0.5D to -3.0D) and partial AUCs for distance (SD, + 0.5 to -0.5 D), intermediate (SI, -0.5 t
