    Summary

    This study evaluated the Worst Medallion 2-loop pseudophakos in 282 cataract surgeries. The intraocular lens demonstrated good visual outcomes and a complication rate comparable to conventional cataract extraction methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Biomaterials in Medicine

    Background:

    • Cataract surgery is a common procedure to restore vision.
    • Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is a critical step in modern cataract surgery.
    • Evaluating new IOL designs is essential for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the safety and efficacy of the Worst Medallion 2-loop pseudophakos.
    • To determine the visual outcomes and complication rates associated with this specific IOL.
    • To compare the performance of the Worst Medallion 2-loop pseudophakos to conventional cataract extraction techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 282 cataract patients who received a Worst Medallion 2-loop pseudophakos.
    • Data collected included patient demographics, cataract type, surgical approach (intracapsular vs. extracapsular), visual acuity, and observed complications.
    • Complications were categorized and their incidence rates calculated.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 282 patients (154 males, 128 females; mean age 58.8 years) underwent surgery.
    • 87.6% achieved a corrected visual acuity of 0.5 or better (90.1% excluding non-implant complications).
    • The most frequent complications were pseudophakos subluxation (9.9%) and broken sutures (5.3%).

    Conclusions:

    • The Worst Medallion 2-loop pseudophakos provides favorable visual outcomes in cataract surgery.
    • The observed complication profile is similar to that reported for conventional cataract extraction methods.
    • This IOL appears to be a safe and effective option for cataract patients.
