Patient-Reported Outcomes of Visual Disturbances with a Trifocal Intraocular Lens: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract Introduction Diffractive trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) provide good vision at distance, intermediate, and near, but can also cause positive dysphotopsias. This meta-analysis pooled published evidence on visual disturbances after bilateral implantation of the PanOptix (TFNTXX) IOL for p...

description Abstract Introduction Diffractive trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) provide good vision at distance, intermediate, and near, but can also cause positive dysphotopsias. This meta-analysis pooled published evidence on visual disturbances after bilateral implantation of the PanOptix (TFNTXX) IOL for patients undergoing cataract surgery. Method A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed and congress presentations from April 2021 to December 2022 to identify studies with patient-reported outcomes on the incidence of visual disturbances (starbursts, halos, glare) post bilateral implantation of PanOptix IOL during cataract surgery. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to generate pooled proportions for patient-reported visual disturbances with a 95% confidence interval [CI]. Results Eleven unique studies were included, spanning 580 patients with bilateral implantation of PanOptix IOL from 10 countries with 1 to 12 months follow-up. In summary, 33.6% of patients with bilateral PanOptix implantation experienced glare, 43.9% experienced halos, and 30.4% experienced starbursts. Among these patients, small percentages reported severe glare (2.9%), severe halos (5.4%), and severe starbursts (3.4%). Only 0.8%, 1.4%, and 2.6% of patients found glare, halos, and starbursts, respectively, to be very bothersome. Conclusion Halos are the most frequently reported visual disturbances. However, the likelihood of experiencing severe and/or very bothersome visual disturbances (halos, glare, starbursts) is approximately 5% and 3%, respectively, after bilateral implantation of PanOptix IOL. These findings should inform clinical decision-making and treatment choices when selecting the most appropriate IOL implant for cataract surgery.
