Abstract

Purpose: To compare the anatomic and visual acuity (VA) outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair in eyes with a multifocal intraocular lens (IOLs) and eyes with monofocal IOLs. Methods: This retrospective matched-cohort study comprised pseudophakic eyes that had pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or PPV with scleral buckling for RRD. Eyes with multifocal IOLs (multifocal group) were matched with eyes with monofocal IOLs (control group) in a 1:2 ratio for age, sex, primary surgeon, timing of surgery from presentation, type of surgery, and macular status. Results: The multifocal group included 67 eyes and the control group, 134 eyes. The mean (±SD) follow-up was 785 ± 595 days and 746 ± 566 days, respectively (P = .57). Overall, the single-surgery anatomic success rate was 76.1% in the multifocal group and 86.6% in the control group (P = .06); 75.0% and 85.9%, respectively, for PPV (P = .06); and 100% for PPV with scleral buckling in both groups (P = 1.00). The mean final logMAR VA was 0.26 ± 0.34 (20/36 Snellen) in the multifocal group and 0.27 ± 0.36 (20/37 Snellen) in the control group (P = .60). Conclusions: In pseudophakic eyes with an RRD, there was a trend toward better single-surgery anatomic success in eyes with a monofocal IOL than in eyes with a multifocal IOL treated with PPV, with similar anatomic outcomes for PPV with scleral buckling. Visual outcomes were similar between the groups and significantly improved compared with baseline.
