[Clinical results of tinted aspheric multifocal toric intraocular lens (SND1T3, SND1T4, SND1T5, SND1T6) for eyes following cataract extraction].
OBJECTIVE
The efficacy and safety of tinted aspheric multifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) (SND1T3, SND1T4, SND1T5, SND1T6 : Alcon) were evaluated in 130 eyes of 65 patients following cataract removal.


METHODS
Visual acuities (VAs) at distance, near (40 cm) and intermediate (50 cm, 1 m), IOL rotation, contrast sensitivity, spectacle usage and glare/halo were examined up to 1 year postoperatively.


RESULTS
The mean bilateral uncorrected distance VA was -0.04 ± 0.10 logMAR, near VA was 0.00 ± 0.11 logMAR, intermediate VA at 50 cm was -0.00 ± 0.11 logMAR, intermediate VA at 1 m was 0.11 ± 0.15 logMAR. IOL rotation was 5.73 ± 4.36 degrees, photopic contrast sensitivities were within normal range, and 76.9% of the patients did not require any spectacles. None of the patients complained of either serious glare or halo.


CONCLUSIONS
The multifocal toric IOL provides better VA from distance to near at 40 cm.
