Abstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical results of a AMO Array mutifocal lens. METHOD: we performed a prospective clinical trial of 20 bilateral cataract patients for at least 6 months. RESULT: Mean monocular uncorrected distance acuity(Snellen) was 0.75, which increased to 0.9 with best correction. Mean biocular uncorrected distance acuity was 0.85,which increased to 1.0 with best correction. Mean monocular near acuity was 0.62, which reached 0.88 with best correction. Mean biocular near acuity was 0.71, which reached 1.00 with best correction. Mean contrast sensitivities were within normal range for all spacial frequencies. In glare discomfort, 10 patients had no complaint, 7 patients had no idea, and only 3 patients had some problem. Reading newspaper without glasses was achieved by 28 of 40 eyes(70%) and 15 of 20 patients(75%). CONCLUSION: AMO Array lens can be used as a method of treatment of presbyopia, when combined with correct biometry.
