Long-term results of the foldable CeeOn Edge intraocular lens
1Eye Clinic, Klinikum Minden, Minden, Germany.
Purpose:
To determine the long-term efficacy and safety of the foldable silicone CeeOn Edge(R) model 911 intraocular lens (IOL).
Setting:
Eye Clinic, Klinikum Minden, Germany.
Methods:
A high-refractive-index silicone lens with a sharp edge was implanted after phacoemulsification in 42 eyes of 36 patients. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and occurrence of complications were evaluated during a 3 year follow-up.
Results:
No significant postoperative complications were seen. At 3 years, 26 eyes of 22 patients were available for examination. The BCVA was 0.5 (20/40) or better in 92% of eyes and 1.0 (20/20) or better in 39%. No posterior capsule opacification (PCO) was observed, and neodymium:YAG capsulotomy was not indicated in any patient.
Conclusions:
This pilot study indicates that the performance and safety of the foldable silicone CeeOn Edge lens are excellent. The results support the theory that a sharp edge on the IOL prevents the development of PCO.
