Objective. To explore the short-term visual outcomes following implantation of the Magnificent intraocular lens (IOL) in patients undergoing cataract surgery in an Argentine cohort, evaluating its performance as an extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens.
Methods. This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from patients implanted with the Magnificent IOL. Uncorrected visual acuity (distance, intermediate, and near) at 30 days postoperatively and the spherical equivalent (SE) preoperatively and at 30 days were evaluated in right eyes (OD), left eyes (OS), and binocular vision (OU). Intra- and intergroup comparisons were performed using paired t-tests and ANOVA.
Results. Data from 14 patients (28 eyes) were analyzed. A significant improvement in uncorrected visual acuity was observed at 30 days postoperatively across all distances. The mean binocular uncorrected visual acuity at distance was 0.01 LogMAR; for intermediate vision, 0.10; and for near vision, 0.18. The postoperative SE was within ±0.50 D in 93% of the eyes. Comparisons with preoperative values showed statistically significant differences (p<0.001). The lens demonstrated an optical performance pattern consistent with EDOF lens design.
Conclusion. The Magnificent IOL provided functional vision at all distances and good refractive predictability in this initial series. Prospective studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm these findings and to definitively classify this lens as EDOF.
