Comparison of color perception after tinted blue light-filtering and clear ultraviolet-filtering intraocular lens implantation.

To compare color perception after implantation of clear and yellow-tinted intraocular lenses (IOLs). Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India. Comparative case series. This study evaluated eyes that had implantation of an Acrysof IQ SN60WF yellow-tinted IOL or an Acrysof SA60AT clear IOL. All eyes were evaluated postoperatively at 1 month and 3 months. The uncorrected distance visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and color vision (Ishihara pseudoisochromatic test, Edridge-Green lantern test, Heidelberg anomaloscope, and Farnsworth-Munsell (FM) 100-hue test) were evaluated. Both IOL groups comprised 50 eyes. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in color vision on any of the 4 tests (P≥.05). Plotting the error scores on the polarity graph of the FM 100-hue test showed that eyes with a yellow-tinted IOL did not have a specific axis of confusion. There was no difference in color perception between the 2 IOLs irrespective of the color vision test used. Copyright © 2011 ASCRS and ESCRS. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
