[Retropupillary pseudophakia after extracapsular cataract extraction].

    Summary

    Retropupillary artificial intraocular lens implantation offers physiological pseudophakia. While PMMA loops are harder to insert, they provide better stability than polypropylene loops, despite increased tissue trauma.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Context:

    • Retropupillary artificial intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is considered the most physiological approach for pseudophakia.
    • Comparing one-piece (PMMA loop) and multi-piece (polypropylene loop) retropupillary IOLs is crucial for understanding early clinical outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To compare the early outcomes of retropupillary IOL implantation using one-piece PMMA loop and multi-piece polypropylene loop models.
    • To evaluate differences in surgical insertion, postoperative stability, tissue trauma, and functional results between the two IOL types.

    Summary:

    • One-piece PMMA loop IOLs demonstrated superior positional stability compared to polypropylene loop IOLs.
    • However, PMMA loop IOLs were associated with more difficult insertion and greater ocular tissue trauma, leading to statistically significant increases in posterior synechia and pupil deformation.
    • Functional outcomes, peroperative, and other postoperative complications (e.g., uveitis, endophthalmitis, pigment dispersion) showed no significant differences between the groups. High visual acuity (≥5/15) was achieved in 97.50% of patients.

    Impact:

    • Findings guide the selection of retropupillary IOLs based on the trade-off between ease of insertion, long-term stability, and potential tissue trauma.
    • Highlights the importance of surgical technique and IOL material in minimizing complications and optimizing visual outcomes in pseudophakic patients.
