Then, in a sample of 24 pseudophakic patients (38 eyes) implanted with the trifocal diffractive IOL Panoptix (SG) and in a control group (CG) of 28 normophakic participants (50 eyes), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was measured at illuminance of 550lx (optimal UDVA). Following dark adaptation, illuminance was gradually raised from 20 lx until illuminance level that the patient reached his/her optimal UDVA. This measured illuminance at this point was defined as the minimum required illuminance level (MRIL). MRIL and UDVA for illuminance levels between 20 and 550lx in SG were compared with the corresponding values in CG. MRIL calculation allowed the construction of a predictive mathematical model that estimates the impact of environmental lighting on UDVA.Results: ICIR for Panoptix eyes ranged from 54.00% to 55.99%. Both groups had significantly higher UDVA at 550lx compared to 20lx (p < 0.05). CG had significantly higher UDVA than SG at 20lx (7.20 letters, p = 0.045), while no significant difference was detected at 550lx (0.40 letters, p = 0.883). SG required significantly more illuminance than CG to maintain their UDVA (MRILSG= 191.05lx, MRILCG= 122lx, p = 0.007). Our predictive model suggests suboptimal UDVA in a series of lighting directives for normophakic and Panoptix eyes.Conclusion: This is the first study to introduce the VIOL(λ) as a new lighting benefit metric and a mathematical model that quantifies the impact of illuminance on UDVA in normophakic and pseudophakic patients.Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT04263636.Keywords: multifocal intraocular lens, illuminance, light transmission, luminous efficiency function, lighting standardsLabiris GPanagiotopoulou EKTaliantzis SPerente ADelibasis KDoulos LTDove Medical Pressarticlemultifocal intraocular lensilluminancelight transmissionluminous efficiency functionlighting standardsOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 4553-4564 (2021)
