[Clinical results in implantation of 150 MemoryLens lenses]

The authors present results of prospective clinical study of 150 foldable hydroacrylate intraocular lenses MemoryLens (CIBA Vision). There were 75 women (52.82%) and 67 men (47.18%), altogether 142 patients (150 eyes). All lenses were implanted through 3.5 mm clear-cornea tunnel incision. Best corrected visual acuity was 6/9 or better in 119 eyes (79.3%) on the first postoperative day and in 136 eyes (90.6%) one year after surgery. Induced astigmatism was below 0.5 D in 59 eyes (39.3%) on the first postoperative day and in 140 eyes (93.3%) one year after surgery. Capsular opacification rate was 3.3% (5 eyes) one year after surgery. We have not seen any serious complications. Excellent postoperative results enable us to suggest MemoryLens for routine use after phaco surgery.
