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.
