In the other hand, cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness, with approximately 15.2 million cases comprising 45% of global blindness, as cataracts arise for an aging global population, the knowledge of the capabilities and the diverse intraocular lenses (IOL) can provide to each patient, becomes essential to the current cataract surgeon.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the refractive results of a novel non-diffractive extended focus lens implanted after Cataract Surgery, been the first Mexican experience.
Methodology: The execution of this original article was possible through metasearch engines like Wiley Online Library, EBSCO, Cochrane, Clinicalkey, and MEDLINE PubMed, retrieve studies from January, 2024, to January, 2025. With MeSH Terms associated with "Cataract surgery AND non-diffractive extended focus lens AND LuxSmart". The study design was a retrospective cohort study, where 48 patients were included, corresponding to 71 eyes, performed by a single surgeon and within the same clinic during all this time.
Results: The intervention improved near visual acuity, reducing both the median and variability of values. Wilcoxon test was performed. We found excellent performance in distance visual acuity and Jaeger from J6 to J2 for near vision, with the possibility of functional intermediate vision and independence from glasses for properly selected patients.
Conclusion: There is a significant reduction in the measured variables after LuxSmart IOL implantation surgery. The statistical analysis is moderate to large, suggesting a significant improvement in each patient.
