DIFFERENT MULTIFOCAL INTRAOCULAR LENSES: THE QUALITY OF VISION AND THE LINKS BETWEEN PATIENTS' SATISFACTION WITH THE OUTCOMES AND THEIR PERSONALITY TRAITS

In this study, postoperative follow-up data that cover a rather long period after the multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) implantation are presented. It is the first time that the same methodology was used to compare four different types of MIOL. The influence of personality traits on the visual function has been defined. The aim of the study - to assess the influence of different MIOL on the quality of vision and the links between the satisfaction of patients with the results and their personality traits after the implanting of different MIOL models. The objectives of the study: 1) to compare the visual acuity between different MIOLs models; 2) to compare the contrast sensitivity between different MIOLs models; 3) to establish the need of patients for additional correction with glasses after the implanting of MIOLs; 4) to assess the occurrence of photic phenomena after the implanting of MIOLs; 5) to assess the level of visual function and the influence of personality traits on patients’ satisfaction with the visual function following the MIOL implantation
