The safety and efficacy of a modified technique for transscleral fixation of a foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) for intracapsular aphakia (secondary IOL) or after complicated phacoemulsification was evaluated. All eyes had inadequate or no posterior capsular support. Follow-up was between 4 and 26 months (mean, 12 months). Uncorrected visual acuity improved (> 2 lines) in all p...

We evaluated the microstructure of the edges of currently available foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs). The methodology used assisted an IOL manufacturer (Hoya, Japan) to optimise the edge profile of its lenses. Ten designs of hydrophobic acrylic, six designs of silicone and 24 designs of hydrophilic acrylic IOLs were imaged under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the photographs were imp...

This study evaluated the surgical outcome and complications of phacoemulsification and the implantation of an acryl foldable intraocular lens (IOL) with a squared edge in dogs with cataracts. Thirty-two eyes from 26 dogs were examined. The mean follow up period was 75.9 days ranging from 23 to 226 days. The complications after phacoemulsification were posterior capsular opacity (PCO) around the...

Received for publication January’ 2009 ... ........................... Purpose. The objective of this study is to compare the frequency of Neodymium YAG laser capsulotomy in eyes receiving silicon foldable posterior chamber intraocular lenses with those receiving acrylic foldable posterior chamber intraocular lenses. Material and Methods. This Comparative study was carried out at Ophthalmology ...

purpose : to evaluate the near visual performance of an accommodative intraocular lens (iol) tetraflex, in comparison to a standard monofocal foldable iol in cataract surgery. setting: eye research center , farabi eye hospital , department of ophthalmology, tehran university of medical sciences, iran . methods : forty six eyes of 23 patients with cataract underwent phacoemulsification and accom...
