Abstract

Purpose: To manage patient dissatisfaction following multifocal intraocular lens (MF‐IOL) implantation by IOL exchange with either a monofocal or an alternative MF‐IOL, and to compare outcomes in these two groups. Methods: MF‐IOL exchange was performed in 32 patients (64 eyes) with neuroadaptation failure. The MF‐to‐MF group involved patients who had a MF‐IOL exchanged with another MF‐IOL of a different optical profile and the MF‐to‐MO group involved patients who had a MF‐IOL exchanged to a monofocal IOL. Visual outcomes and complications were analysed. The Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire, Visual Function Index (VF‐14) and its Rasch‐revised version (VF‐8R) were also used to assess outcomes. Results: There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in the QoV scores between the two groups, both preoperatively and postoperatively. Preoperatively, there were no significant differences in VF‐14 scores between both groups (p > 0.05). Postoperatively, there were statistically significant differences in VF‐14 (total score, intermediate vision and near vision) in favour of the MF‐to‐MF group (p < 0.05). The postoperative VF‐8R score in the MF‐to‐MF group was significantly better than the MF‐to‐MO group (p ≤ 0.001). Uncorrected and corrected near as well as corrected distance visual acuities were significantly better (p < 0.05) in the MF‐to‐MF group compared to the MF‐to‐MO group at 3 months. Conclusion: Patient dissatisfaction and neuroadaptation failure following MF‐IOL implantation can be managed by an IOL exchange with an alternative optical design of MF‐IOL or a monofocal IOL. Although, in the current study, the MF‐to‐MF group showed some better postoperative results, both options are feasible solutions.
