Purpose. To evaluate the performance and the visual outcomes of Acrysof PanOptix trifocal IOL in terms of safety, efficacy, predictability and assessment of the quality of vision after implantation as regards; contrast sensitivity and ocular aberrations. Methods. A prospective interventional non randomized study that included forty eyes of twenty one patients with senile cataract. All surgeries were carried out between September 2019 and January 2020. Patients underwent phacoemulsification for cataract removal with IOL implantation. They were divided into two groups; group(A) included twenty eyes of eleven patients who were implanted with AcrySof IQ PanOptix trifocal IOL Model TFNT00. While group (B) included twenty eyes of ten patients who were implanted with monofocal AcrySof IOLs as a control group. Results. There were 21 subjects enrolled in our study. Mean age was 56.6 ± 6.9 years in group (A) and 62.8 ± 7.1 years in group (B),(range 50–70).We found statistical significant difference between both groups with group A showing better post operative uncorrected distance, intermediate, near, and best corrected near visual acuity . Group (B) showed statistically significant better post operative contrast sensitivity compared to group (A). Conclusion: In this study, Acrysof PanOptix trifocal IOL showed excellent safety, efficacy, predictability and spectacle independence at all distances, This prospective interventional non-randomized study showed excellent safety, efficacy and predictability of the PanOptix IOL with higher spectacle independence, slightly impaired contrast sensitivity without affecting daily activities. However, contrast sensitivity was compromised in comparison to the monofocal group and high order aberrations (coma, trefoil) were noted to be higher affecting the quality of vision but not the daily activities of the patient.
