Purpose:
To evaluate the clinical use of the unfolder in cataract surgery with foldable IOL implantation.
Material And Method:
Forty eyes of 40 patients were analysed. In all patients cataract phacoemulsification was performed. Silicon IOL were implanted through corneal incision 2.8-3.0 mm using unfolder.
Results:
One month after surgery, in the most of patients visual acuity 0.8-1.0 was received. Rapid visual rehabilitation was obtained (about 3 weeks). Intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed in only a few cases. No one patient had lens optic damage.
Conclusions:
The unfolder provides easy and safe IOL implantation. It is very useful in small incision surgery.
