Abstract
- To evaluate and compare the clinical results of implantation of the AcrySof(r) with Hydrophilic Acrylic IOLs in early postoperative period(to 2 months), we retrospectively analyzed 34patients who had taken clear cornea incision and had been implanted with AcrySof(r)IOL in one eye and Hydrophilic Acrylic IOL in the other eye. There were no stastically significant difference in postoperative best corrected visual acuity, preoperative and postopearative astigmatic changes between AcrySof(r) and Hydrophilic Acrylic IOLs. But, the rates of postoperative capsular fibrosis and contracture of Hydrophilic Acrylic IOL was higher than those of AcrySof(r) IOL as well as postoperative complications. In conclusion, in the degree and rate of after-cataract, AcrySof(r)IOLs are more useful than Hydrophilic Acrylic IOLs. ;therefore, more excellent in long term visual prognosis. Further studies will be needed for the evaluation of clinical safety and efficacy.
