Abstract
The purpose of this report is to summarize the visual and refractive outcomes of patients with trifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) implants. A peer-reviewed literature search in different databases was carried out to identify clinical publications reporting outcomes of patients with this type of implant. The analysis considered information on the sample of eyes, type and power of the trifocal toric IOLs, biometric preoperative data, postoperative refraction, rotational stability, visual acuity at different distances and other analyses undertaken, such as contrast sensitivity or quality of vision questionnaires. 20 clinical studies, encompassing a total of 1404 eyes implanted with three commercially available trifocal toric IOLs, were included in this review. The analysis assessed the outcomes reported for the AT LISA tri toric 939MP IOL, involving 3 articles and 313 eyes; the FineVision toric POD FT IOL, with 7 articles studying 370 eyes, and the AcrySof IQ PanOptix toric IOL, involving 11 articles and 721 eyes. Our assessment of the outcomes of the various studies indicates that the efficacy of the refractive correction (both sphere and cylinder) and visual acuity at different distances was similar between the IOL models. The same was found for the patients’ quality of vision and satisfaction levels, in addition to photic phenomena reported. The outcomes summarized in this report lead us to conclude that the use of trifocal toric IOLs allows complete visual restoration over a wide range of distances.
