Clinical Study of Domestic-made Intraocular Lens(UNI-IOL(R))

• Kim JH

Abstract

I studied twenty cases who underwent domestic-made intraocular lens(IOL; UNI-IOL(R)) implantation from 12th April, 1988 to July 29, 1988. All patients most of them were females, were over 60 years old and followed up over 1 year. The results were as follows: 1. The postoperative final corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better was noted in 18 eyes(90.0%) and visual acuity below 20/50 was in 2 eyes(10.0%). The reason's of this poor vision were optic atrophy and age related macular degeneration. 2. The final refractive state within +/-1.0D with spherical equivalent was fifty-five percent and only one over -2.0D. 3. The corneal thickness increased mostly(9.8%) at postoperative 3 days and graually returned to the normal level by postoperative fifteen days. 4. Anterior chamber reaction, cells, pigments on the IOL decreased gradually at postoperative period. 5. The percentage loss of corneal endothelium was 13.4% at postoperative 2 months and 14.1% at postoperative 1 year. 6. Partial posterior capsule rupture was developed in one eye during the opera tion and fibrinous membrane and after cataract were developed in one eye.
