Popis: Purpose. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of IOL implantation with a wavefront formation mechanism as part of cataract surgery of patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty. Material and methods. 4 patients – one man and three women (4 eyes) (1 man, 3 women) aged 24 to 58 underwent phacoemulsification after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) (performed in all patients more than 1.5 years ago, in 3 cases for keratoconus IV, in 1 case due to herpetic keratitis). The corneal sutures were removed 1 year after the PKP in all patients. All patients received cataract phacoemulsification through a 2.2 mm corneal tunnel. In one case, Alcon AcrySof IQ Vivity was implanted, in three cases, who had had corneal astigmatism, the same model was used but with a toric component. The IOL calculation was based on current optical biometrics data (IOL-Master 700, Carl Zeiss, Germany) and Scheimpflug-keratotopographic measurements (Oculyzer, Alcon, USA). The optical power of the IOL was calculated by the formulas of Barrett True K, Kane, Barrett Universal II, Hoffer Q, and Haigis. Results. It all cases, surgeries had no complications. Visual acuity, both with (BCVA) and without correction (UCVA), increased with respect to preoperative values in all cases (before surgery, mean BCVA values were 0.05; after surgery, 0.55; mean UCVA values before surgery, 0.34; after surgery, 0.68). The average observed cylindrical component of refraction before the opening operation was 2.25 D; the implantation of a toric IOL reduced it to 1.13 D. In all cases, a smooth transition of the defocusing curve from +0.5 D to -1.5 D (corresponding to 66 cm) was observed. The most effective formulas achieving target refraction were those by Kane and Barrett True K. Conclusion. The paper presents Russia’s first clinical experience of using IOL with a wavefront formation mechanism Alcon IQ Vivity и Vivity Toric in patients who underewent penetrating keratoplasty. In all cases, these IOLs were calculated and implanted taking account of the initial corneal astigmatism, which made it possible to significantly improve both BCVA and UCVA with a smooth transition to the middle distance. Despite the high values of higher order aberrations, none of the operated patients complained of undesirable photopic phenomena, such as halos and glare, which are inherent in intraocular lenses with diffractive technology.
