Abstract

To evaluate the clinical results of implantation of Acrysof foldable intraocular lens[IOL], we retrospectively analyzed 814 patients who had been implanted with Acrysof IOLs in their eyes and followed-up over 6months postoperatively. Postoperative conditions such as best corrected visual acuity[BCVA], postoperative complications and capsular fibrosis were evaluated. Postoperative BCVA, with measurement above 0.7 was 83%and above 0.5 was 92%.If there was no ocular pathology, BCVA with measurement above 0.7 was 96.5%.Postoperative complications included 9.8%[80 cases]of posterior capsular opacity, 3.2%[28 cases]of microvacuole, and also anterior capsule contracture, haptic damage.7 cases of posterior capsular opacity[totally 80 cases]required Nd;Yag laser posterior capsulotomy.Capsular fibrosis[61.8%]was divided to 4 grades.Most of them were grade I or IIand above grade was 9.8%. In conclusion, the Acrysof IOL implantation showed good visual outcome and few postoperative complications, especially in PCO, it had excellent results.So, it will show excellent longterm visual prognosis including visual quality.
