Item Evaluation of quality of life after implantation of a new trifocal intraocular lens(2019) Akman, Ahmet; Asena, Leyla; Ozturk, Caner; Gungor, Sirel Gur; 0000-0001-6178-8362; 0000-0002-6848-203X; 30612749; E-5914-2016; AAD-5967-2021Purpose: To evaluate the vision-related quality of life (QOL) after implantation of a new trifocal intraocular lens (IOL), by using the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-14 (VF-14 QOL questionnaire). Setting: Baskent University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Ankara, Turkey. Design: Prospective noncomparative case series. Methods: Consecutive patients who had a new trifocal IOL (Pan-Optix) bilaterally implanted were included in the study. The vision-related QOL was assessed 3 months after the surgery in the second eye. The VF-14 QOL questionnaire was used, with a grading scale of 0, no difficulty; 1, a little difficulty; 2, moderate difficulty; 3, quite difficult; 4, impossible to perform. A subgroup of 14 patients, with an interval of at least 3 months between the surgery in the first eye and the surgery in the fellow eye, were also interviewed 3 months after the monocular IOL implantation. In this subgroup, the QOL with monocular and binocular implantation was compared. Results: The study comprised 48 patients. Reading small print, driving at night, and doing fine handwork were the most difficult tasks to perform, with the mean values of the VF-14 QOL questionnaire being 0.94 +/- 0.81 (SD), 0.89 +/- 0.68, and 0.64 +/- 0.67, respectively. Binocular implantation was associated with improvement in vision-related QOL when compared with monocular implantation, with significant differences in doing fine handwork such as sewing (P = .02) and using a computer (P = .03). Conclusions: With mean values of 1.00 or lower for each question, the results of the VF-14 QOL questionnaire indicated that patients who have the new trifocal IOL bilaterally implanted have an overall high satisfaction rate and a high vision-related QOL.
