here is great controversy about the use of advanced
technology lenses such as toric lenses and trifocal
lenses in patients with glaucoma, since the interface of this
type of lens causes a loss of energy in the transition zone
that could mean a decrease of Visual gain and decreased
sensitivity to contrast in patients where the decrease in
contrast may be had been altered by the disease. However,
these patients are entitled to consider the implantation
of a better technology intraocular lens, such as trifocal
lenses, in order to obtain the benefit of the independence
of the frame lenses using an intraocular lens that allows
them to improve the visual quality at Different distances.
The purpose of our study was to evaluate visual outcomes
in patients with glaucoma suspected and mild glaucoma
candidates for cataract surgery and trifocal intraocular lens
implantation. A longitudinal, prospective, experimental
and analytical study was performed. In the methodology:
Patients with cataract and diagnosis of mild or glaucoma
suspected who had visual field, optic nerve tomography
and contrast sensitivity study were included and underwent
cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with intraocular lens
implantation (Trifocal AT LISA tri 839 MP). It was concluded
that Visual results obtained at different distances with the
trifocal design indicate that this emergent technique is an
alternative for candidates with mild glaucoma or glaucoma
suspected without the procedure altering its follow-up or
modifying the sensitivity to contrast.
