Davis 2 . 1 Empire Eye and LaserCenter, Bakersfield, CA; 2 Minnesota Eye Consultants, Bloomington,MN.Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, andsurgeon satisfaction following bilateral implantation of theTECNIS® Multifocal 1-Piece IOL (ZMB00).Methods: On-going, prospective, open-label observational trial fromsurgeons performing cataract surgery and bilateral TECNIS®Multifocal (TMF) 1-Piece IOL implantation in qualified subjectsaged 21 years or older. All eyes had preoperative corneal astigmatismof < 1.0 D. Visual acuity (distance, intermediate, near) and patientsatisfaction questionnaires were collected at the 3-4 monthpostoperative visit. Surgeon assessment questionnaires were taken at3 months and at one year.Results: Interim data were collected on 106 subjects with a mean ageof 66.0 ± 8.1 years. Mean postoperative sphere was 0.07 ± 0.47 Dwith 0.40 ± 0.39 D of cylinder and a spherical equivalent of +0.05 ±0.47 D. Mean binocular UCVA was 20/23 at distance, 20/30 atintermediate and 20/22 at near. Mean binocular DCVA was 20/20 atdistance, 20/28 at intermediate, and 20/21 at near. The percentage ofsubjects with UCVAs of 20/32 or better was 91.8% for distance,67.7% for intermediate, and 93.8% for near. The percentage ofsubjects with DCVAs of 20/32 or better was 98.8% for distance,70.9% for intermediate, and 96.6% for near. At 3-4 monthspostoperative, 86.9% of subjects never or hardly ever use glasses,87.9% of subjects were either satisfied or very satisfied with theiroverall vision without glasses, and 81.3% of subjects would mostlikely choose this lens again. At the 3 months, 78.5% of surgeons feltcomfortable with the TMF after implanting ≤ 6 lenses, and 92.9% ofsurgeons would recommend the TMF to family, friends, andcolleagues. At one year, 86% of top enrollers were still using theTMF.Conclusions: Subjects receiving the TECNIS® Multifocal 1-PieceIOL showed high levels of satisfaction with good visual outcomes atall distances and minimal postoperative refractive error. Surgeonreportedexperience and perception of the TMF were highly positive.This experiential data further corroborates the U.S. FDA clinicalstudy results.Commercial Relationships: Daniel H.

Moran EyeCenter, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT; 2 Alcon Laboratories,Fort Worth, TX.Purpose: Surface light scattering on hydrophobic intraocular lenses(IOLs) is caused by hydration-related subsurface nanoglisteningswithin the acrylic IOL material. The aim of this study was toinvestigate the potential effect of surface light scattering on the lighttransmittance of single-piece hydrophobic acrylic IOLs made ofAcrySof material (Alcon) with or without blue light filter (BLF).Methods: IOLs were obtained from human cadavers (49 lenses total;36 with BLF), and from finished-goods inventory (controls). TheIOLs were explanted from the cadaver eyes and power/modelmatched to unused control IOLs. After removing proteins, the IOLswere allowed to hydrate for 24 hours at room temperature. Surfacelight scattering was then measured with a Scheimpflug camera (EAS-1000 Anterior Segment Analysis System, Nidek Ltd). Lighttransmittance was measured with a Perkin Elmer Lambda 35 UV/Visspectrophotometer (single-beam configuration with RSA-PE-20integrating sphere).Results: Hydrated scatter values ranged from 4.8 to 202.5 CCT forexplanted IOLs with BLF and 1.5 to 11.8 CCT for controls; valuesranged from 6.0 to 137.5 CCT for explanted IOLs without BLF and3.5 to 9.7 CCT for controls. In both groups, there was a tendency forincreasing scatter values with increasing postoperative time. Nodifferences in light transmittance were observed between explantedIOLs and controls for both groups of lenses (BLF IOLs: P=0.407,Paired T-Test; Non BLF IOLs: P=0.216, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Testfor Paired Data).Conclusions: Although surface light scattering of explanted lenseswas significantly higher than that of controls and appeared to increasewith time, no effect was observed on the light transmittance of singlepiecehydrophobic acrylic lenses with or without blue light filter.Commercial Relationships: Liliana Werner, Aaren Scientific (F),Abbott Medical Optics (F), Advanced Vision Science (F), AlconLaboratories (F), Anew Optics (F), Bausch & Lomb Surgical (F),Calhoun Vision (F), Innovia (F), MRI Research (C), Powervision(C), Rayner Intraocular Lenses (F), Visiogen (C); Caleb Morris,None; Shannon Stallings, None; Erica Liu, None; Anne M.

The aperturediameter is exchangeable in the water cell. Using this system, visualsimulations of Landolt visual acuity (VA) charts at various distanceswere performed using the MIOL (LENTIS® Mplus, Oculentis)through a 3.5-mm aperture corresponding to photopic conditions or a4.5-mm aperture corresponding to mesopic conditions. The contrastsof the gaps of large (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution[logMAR] 0.7), medium (logMAR 0.4), and small (logMAR 0.0)Landolt VA charts in the simulated images were analyzed usingPhotoshop graphics editing software (Adobe).Results: Using the 3.5-mm aperture, the contrasts of the gaps of thelarge, medium, and small charts were 0.22, 0.1, and 0.08 at 5 meters(m) and 0.08, 0.04, and 0.02 at 0.34 m, which was the best nearfocus, respectively. Using the 4.5-mm aperture, the contrasts of thegaps of the large, medium, and small charts were 0.14, 0.07, and 0.03at 5 m and 0.07, 0.04, and 0.01 at 0.34 m, respectively. The largecharts maintained good contrast at all distances through the 3.5-mmaperture. The contrast decreased with decreasing sizes of the Landoltrings, especially at the intermediate distance (from 1-0.5 m).
