Posterior capsule opacification and Nd:YAG laser rates with two hydrophobic acrylic single-piece IOLs.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and Nd:YAG capsulotomy rates following implantation of two hydrophobic acrylic IOLs.

Methods

In a randomized, controlled trial, 80 patients with bilateral senile cataract were implanted with the hydrophobic acrylic single-piece intraocular Lenses (IOLs) EyeCee One in one eye and iMics1 in the other. Outcomes of 39 patients (78 eyes) were evaluated after 3 years. Automated Quantification of After-Cataract (AQUA; for PCO occurrence), visual acuity, anterior fibrosis, capsule-optic edge interaction and distance between anterior and posterior capsule IOL surface were analysed.

Results

After a mean follow-up of 38 ± 1.95 months, Nd:YAG capsulotomy occurred at a rate of 15.4% and 46.2% in the Ey
