Impact of light conditions on reading ability following multifocal pseudophakic corrections.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine the impact of light intensity and temperature on reading performance following bilateral pseudophakic multifocal presbyopic correction.

Patients and methods

This is a prospective clinic-based trial conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology in the University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Greece. Three groups of patients were formed (G1: patients with bilateral bifocal implantation, G2: patients with bilateral trifocal implantation, and control group: patients with bilateral pseudophakic monofocal implantation). Reading ability was quantified with the Greek version of MNREAD chart with minimal reading speed at 80 words/min for the following light intensities (25, 50, and 75 Foot-Candles [FC]) and temperatures (3,000, 4,000, and 6,000 K). Preferred light co
