Abstract
-
PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical results of Akreos(R) hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation compared with implantation of Acrysof(R) hydrophobic acrylic IOL.
METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed each fifty eyes in 50 patients who had undergone phacoemulsification and implantation of Akreos(R) and Acrysof(R) IOLs, with a minimum follow-up period of one year.
RESULTS
Final visual acuity better than 0.5 and 0.8 was 70% and 27% in the Akreos(R) implanted group, and 82% and 46% in the Acrysof(R) group. Predictability less than 1.0D was seen in 23 eyes (46%) in the Akreos(R) group. This is a significantly low percentage compared with that seen in 43 eyes (86%) in the Acrysof(R) group. The final spherical equivalent of -0.93+/-0.92D in the Akreos(R) group represented statistically significant myopic refractive error compared with -0.49+/-0.82D in the Acrysof(R) group.
CONCLUSIONS
It is necessary to consider the myopic refractive error toDetermine the proper target refraction for the implantation of Akreos(R) IOL.
