Purpose: To look at the 6 month outcomes of visual performance and positional stability following cataract surgery performed using FLACS capsulotomy with a capsule-fixated intraocular lens FEMTIS Comfort MF15, extended depth of focus (EDOF) version (OSD Medical, Germany).Design: Prospective, open label, post registration data collection.Methods: Three-month and 6 month outcomes were measured including: visual function, stability of IOL position, and quantitative measurement of glare and halo.Subjective patient satisfaction and spectacle independence rates were documented with a subjective questionnaire.A computer simulator was used to quantify the incidence and severity of unwanted visual phenomena allowing comparison with other EDOF and multifocal IOLs.Results: 44 eyes, of 25 patients, were included in the study.There were 19 bilateral cases with 13 females and a mean patient age of 62.5 years.The median shift in IOL position over 6 months (from surgery to 6 months) was 0.095 ± 0.09 mm.There was a marked improvement in UCVA and BCVA from the pre-operative to the 6-month mark.Patient satisfaction and spectacle independence levels were high.There were no cases of problems with IOL enclevation, negative dysphotopsia, decentration or capsular phimosis.Conclusions: This is the first study to report outcomes following insertion of the FEMTIS capsulorhexis fixated EDOF IOL.This IOL offers excellent refractive predictability, functional range of vision and minimal unwanted visual phenomena.The attachment to the anterior capsulorhexis is shown to be stable over time with no significant shift in the position or capsular phimosis.There was high patient satisfaction and spectacle independence.
