Article on PanOptix. Might be of interest if thinking about that IOL
Posted , 5 users are following.
Came across this article on the PanOptix compared to the Symfony published last month.
It talks about the importance of controlling astigmatism to work well and how personality traits are a critical feature in determining if a patient will be happy with the IOL. These rules apply to any defractive IOL IMHO.
“The lens creates permanent haloes and starbursts around all point sources of light; these are especially evident at night, but may also cause a slight softening of vision during the daytime. Patients who require crisp vision above all else, or patients who need sharp nighttime vision (e.g., bus drivers or truckers), will be happier with single-focus IOLs.”

The truth is that you can get halos / dyspohotopsia from any lens. There is no rule. It may happen or not. You can only control probability by implanting a monofocal IOL instead of EDOF. But no guarantees at all.

That is a pretty good article and I have bookmarked it. Too bad that they did not compare the PanOptix to the Synergy. That would have been a better comparison. A few things I took note of:

"Too bad that they did not compare the PanOptix to the Synergy. "
Me too as that is the IOL I am most interested in, as long as the dyphotopsias in patients is no worse than my current Tecnis MF.
Synergy should be better in dim light than my MF and having better close up vision would be nice.
I can see close up now, but to read a book or magazine comfortable, I have to find that right sweet spot and have good lighting. This IOL claims to get 20/25 down to 12" or so.
