Analysis of visual quality after multifocal intraocular lens implantation in post-LASIK cataract patients

With the development of refractive corneal surgery, excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has become a common refractive surgery procedure. However, post-LASIK patients are at increased risk of developing cataracts as they age and often require IOL implantation. The choice of IOLs is particul...

description With the development of refractive corneal surgery, excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has become a common refractive surgery procedure. However, post-LASIK patients are at increased risk of developing cataracts as they age and often require IOL implantation. The choice of IOLs is particularly important for these patients, who have smaller residual refractive error and have higher requirements for post-cataract vision recovery and visual quality than the general population. Multifocal IOLs are widely used in clinical practice for patients with high visual acuity needs, such as cataract patients after refractive keratomileusis, due to their advantages of providing excellent near and distance visual acuity; however, compared to monofocal IOLs, multifocal IOLs can lead to postoperative problems related to visual quality such as increased higher order aberrations and decreased contrast sensitivity. Therefore, whether multifocal IOLs have advantages for post-LASIK cataract patients, such as improving the visual quality of such patients, has attracted attention. In this paper, we analyze the current status of research on the implantation of multifocal IOLs in post-LASIK cataract patients by domestic and foreign experts, review and summarize the relevant literature, and propose further discussion in the context of the actual situation of postoperative visual quality and vision recovery.
