Abstract

PURPOSE
To compare the change in the decentration and the tilt of Sensar(R) with Acrysof(R). The optic and haptic portions of the two had a similar composition, but the difference between the two intraocular lens groups was the shape. METHODS: The objects of this study were 59 patients (69 eyes) with Sensar(R) and 44 patients (49 eyes) with Acrysof(R). Each posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCL) was inserted into the capsular bag after continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification. The decentration and the tilt of Sensar(R) and Acrysof(R) were measured 1 day, 30 days and 60 days postoperatively using anterior eye segment analysis system (EAS 1000, Nidek, Japan). RESULTS: The decentration of Sensar(R) was significantly lower than that of Acrysof(R) on the 1st and 30th postoperative day but showed no difference on the 60th day. Decentration of Sensar(R) and Acrysof(R) showed no difference on 1st, 30th and 60th postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS: If Sensar(R) and Acrysof(R) are both inserted into the capsular bag adequately, the decentration and the tilt of the two IOLs show no difference on the 60th postoperative day.
