Summary
Intraocular lens (IOL) implants offer superior outcomes for unilateral aphakia compared to contact or spectacle lenses. Patients with IOLs achieved better binocular function and reduced aniseikonia, improving stereoacuity.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Vision Science
Background:
- Unilateral aphakia, often resulting from senile cataract surgery, presents challenges in achieving optimal binocular vision.
- Correction methods include intraocular lenses (IOLs), contact lenses, and spectacle lenses, each with potential impacts on visual function.
