Comparative evaluation of an automated preloaded delivery system with a non-preloaded system.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate a single surgeon's experience with an automated preloaded intraocular lens (IOL) delivery system and a nonpreloaded system.

Methods

This was a prospective, observational case series. Phacoemulsification was performed under topical anesthesia by creating a temporal clear corneal incision. Patients were consecutively assigned to either the Clareon group (n = 50; the IOL was injected into the capsular bag by using an automated injector system) or the AcrySof group (n = 50; the IOL was injected into the capsular bag by using a conventional injector system). The main outcome measures were ease of implantation, intraoperative complications, postoperative centration, and visual acuity.

Results

Additional manipulation in the anterior chamber was not requir
