Comparative study of foldable intra ocular lens implantation in phacoemulsification by hydro implantation versus visco implantation

Abstract

This study discusses comparison between two methods of foldable IOL implantation (hydro implantation versus visco implantation) and their safety especially on central endothelial cell density detected by specular microscope. Viscosurgical devices created a revolution in progress of cataract surgery but with great advancement in cataract surgery and their corneal incisions, anterior chamber and bag stability can be achieved with other methods otherwise viscosurgical devices and the best method is hydro implantation. Hydro implantation can achieve the same effect like Visco implantation with some advantages as hydro implantation may be considered relatively faster technique as no need for irrigation and aspiration after IOL implantation like visco implantation.
