One-year multicenter evaluation of a new hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens with hydroxyethyl methacrylate in an automated preloaded delivery system.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess a single-piece monofocal hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) with hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) (Clareon) contained in automated preloaded delivery system (AutonoMe).

Setting

18 surgical sites in Japan.

Design

Observational study.

Methods

In patients undergoing phacoemulsification and IOL implantation of a new hydrophobic acrylic IOL using an automated injector, clinical data were collected preoperatively and at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively. The degree of glistenings was graded on a 4-point scale. The surgeons rated usability and performance of the IOL delivery system on a 5-point scale.

Results

The study enrolled 384 eyes of 384 patients, ranging in age from 41 to 93 (73.8 ± 8.2, mean ±
