Description
Richard McNeely and co-authors report early results for a new artificial lens implanted in both eyes during cataract surgery. The lens, the Tecnis PureSee, stretches the range of clear focus rather than splitting light. The study enrolls 103 patients and checks them three months after surgery. Tests cover refraction, sharpness at distance, intermediate, and near ranges, plus a reading desk task and questionnaires on vision quality and glare.
Distance and intermediate vision prove excellent, and near vision is good enough for daily function. About 83 percent of eyes land within half a diopter of the target. Patients report few halos or glare effects and rate their vision highly, near 8.7 of 10 by day. Almost all, 98.1 percent, see better than before surgery, and most would recommend it. Spectacle freedom reaches 100 percent for distance and 94 percent for intermediate tasks.
