Purpose:
Analysis of the results obtained after the implantation of 125 AcrySof IOLs.
Methods:
A retrospective study in 125 patients with cataracts was performed; 98 without previous eye diseases and 27 with previous eye disease (diabetic retinopathy, traumatic cataract, central corneal leucoma and glaucoma). The phacoemulsification technique chosen depended on the type of cataract (<
Results:
Functional results (best corrected visual acuity in patients suffering from pre-operative eye diseases were 0.5 or higher in 22.22% of cases, whereas in the group without any disease was higher in 100%. AcrySof was implanted in sulcus when the posterior capsule was ruptured.
Conclusions:
AcrySof is a soft acrylic IOL which can be very safely and effectively implanted, and it did not lead to complications nor to adverse effects in our study. It is a safe, foldable IOL for small incision and phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
