Factors Contributing to Patient Dissatisfaction Following the Use of Extended Depth-of-Focus and Trifocal Intraocular Lenses: A Retrospective Analysis
To analyze the characteristics, etiologies, and treatment outcomes of postoperative dissatisfaction following implantation of EDOF and trifocal IOLs, emphasizing the significance of understanding these factors for enhancing patient care.
Key Findings:
A proportion of patients reported dissatisfaction post-surgery, linked to various factors, with a sample size of X patients.
Residual refractive errors and optical phenomena were common causes of dissatisfaction.
Patient-reported outcomes indicated a significant impact on vision-related quality of life.
Interpretation:
The study highlights the need for better patient selection and management strategies, such as X and Y, to address postoperative dissatisfaction with EDOF and trifocal IOLs.
Limitations:
Retrospective design may introduce selection bias.
Single-center study limits generalizability of findings.
Only one eye per patient was included, potentially affecting data robustness. Future research should consider multi-center studies.
Conclusion:
Understanding the causes of dissatisfaction can guide improvements in patient care and outcomes following IOL implantation, reinforcing the importance of addressing these issues.
At the Outpatient Ophthalmic Surgery Society’s “OOSS Perspective 2026” symposium in Washington, DC, the organization's Washington counsel, Michael Romansky, JD, delivered an update on reimbursement, regulatory developments, and advocacy priorities affecting ophthalmic ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).
