Focusing on the Future: Patient-Centered Insights into Trifocal Intraocular Lens Adoption
Aims: To analyze determinants affecting the selection of trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and to evaluate patient satisfaction and adaptation patterns post-implantation in a Turkish cohort.
Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a 17-item questionnaire administered to 96 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with PanOptix trifocal IOL implantation. Demographics, IOL selection factors, surgeon trust, visual adaptation, and satisfaction metrics were analyzed across various patient subgroups.
Results: The cohort (mean age 60.62 ±11.94 years; 58.3% male) demonstrated 96.9% overall satisfaction post-implantation. Significant findings included higher satisfaction rates among patients under 65 years (98.3% vs 94.7%, p = 0.042), among tertiary-educated patients (98% vs 75%, p = 0.03), and 82.3% complete spectacle independence. Visual phenomena were reported at contemporary rates (glare: 18.8%, halos: 22.9%). Ninety-one percent of patients achieved visual adaptation within three months. Preoperative counseling participation (86.7% vs 71.4%, p = 0.035) and consistent follow-up attendance (88.9% vs 73.3%, p = 0.028) emerged as significant predictors of satisfaction.
Conclusion: Patient satisfaction with trifocal IOLs correlates significantly with age, educational background, and engagement in the treatment process. While overall satisfaction rates are high, outcomes appear influenced by demographic factors and healthcare engagement patterns. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive preoperative assessment, patient education, and tailored follow-up protocols in optimizing trifocal IOL outcomes across diverse population segments.
