Abstract

Chapter Fyodorov Gradiol: gradient refractive index optics multifocal IOL contains historical and actual information about gradient IOL – theoretical background, laboratory research, functional results of clinical studies and new approaches in the multifocal IOL’s assessment.

Currently available MIOLs have variable refractive power due to the complex shape of anterior and/or posterior surfaces; however, gradient refractive index multifocal lens (GRIN lens) is characterized by varying refractive power due to a change of refractive index in the inner structure of the IOL.

The main advantages of gradient IOL are the following: optics has smooth surfaces which define no need in lens surfaces orientation while implanting; at the same time it diminishes possibility of mechanical trauma, inner components, and surface damage in case of YAG-PCO treatment. It also provides possibility of low incidence of optical phenomena and good visual function at far, near, and intermediate distances under variable illuminance conditions.

The clinical study found high functional results and quality of vision after implantation of new generation Gradiol, high subjective satisfaction, and low incidence of optical phenomena.

Three months after implantation mean uncorrected distance VA was 0.90, mean uncorrected near VA 0.65, mean uncorrected intermediate VA 0.58, mean corrected distance VA 0.98, mean corrected near VA 0.84, and mean corrected intermediate VA 0.78. Mean amplitude of pseudoaccommodation was 4,75°D. Eighty-six percent of patients with Gradiol did not need glasses for daily activities, driving, and reading. Questionnaire revealed optical phenomena in post-op in 5%.
