Purpose. To determine the efficacy of 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy ( @entity2286 ) for symptomatic @entity20699 ( @entity20699 ) on visual acuity (VA) and quality after multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). Methods. In this prospective case series, @entity1 who developed symptomatic @entity20699 and were not satisfied with visual quality due to floaters and halos after multifocal IOL implantation underwent @entity2286 . Examinations included LogMAR uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), intraocular pressure, biomicroscopy, and indirect ophthalmoscopy at baseline and 1, 7, 30, and 180 days postoperatively. Ultrasonography and aberrometry were performed. The Visual Functioning Questionnaire 25 (VFQ-25) was administered preoperatively and at 30 days postoperatively. Both the postoperative UCVA and questionnaire results were compared to preoperative findings using the Wilcoxon test. Results. Sixteen eyes of 8 @entity1 were included. VA significantly improved from 0.17 to 0.09 postoperatively (P = 0.017). All @entity1 reported improvement of halos, glare, and floaters. VFQ-25 scores significantly improved in general vision (P = 0.023), near activities (P = 0.043), distance activities (P = 0.041), mental health (P = 0.011), role difficulties (P = 0.042), and driving (P = 0.016). Conclusion. @entity2286 may increase UCVA and quality of vision in @entity1 with bilateral multifocal IOLs and symptomatic @entity20699 . Larger studies are advised.
