Positive dysphotopsia after implantation of an EDOF intraocular lens

Abstract

Introduction: This report describes a case of positive dysphotopsia (PD) after refractive lens exchange (RLE) with implantation of an extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL). Patient and Clinical Findings: A healthy 48-year-old man underwent RLE with bilateral implantation of a nontoric EDOF IOL and suffered from monocular triplopia in both eyes. The visual acuity was suboptimal with an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/25 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. Diagnosis, Intervention and Outcomes: Slitlamp examination showed well-centered implanted IOLs, without capsular distension syndrome. Bilateral IOL exchange was performed with an aspheric monofocal IOL with a 7.0 mm optic diameter, which diminished the PD complaints. Conclusions: This case report describes disturbing PD after bilateral implantation of an EDOF IOL. Exchange of these EDOF IOLs with a larger optical diameter monofocal IOL resulted in resolution of symptoms.
