COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF SMALL INCISION POSTERIOR CAPSULE OPACIFICATION INTRA-OCULAR LENSES AS REGARDS
Ghada Ali Siam;
Abstract
To study the effect of different IOL materials q
incidence of posterior capsule opacification (PCO ) .
*Methods: The study included 53 eyes of 53 patients, all pf them underwent phacoemulsification with posterior chamqer IOL implantation. They were divided into 3 groups:
Group I: included 17 eyes implanted with PMMA IOLS.
Group II: included 19 eyes implanted with silicone IOLS. Group III: included 17 eyes implanted with foldable acry\i IOLS. -
All cases were followed up postoperatively for 6 mont s The follow-up data included: visual acuity, Contr¥t sensitivity, incidence of Pco and rate ofNd: YAG poster'9,f capsulotomy .
*Results: Group III showed significantly less Pco than tht other two groups. Group I showed less Pco than group II but tn
difference was statistically insignificant.
*Conclusion: The study suggests the incidence of fco is reduced significantly with square edged foldable acrylic q s, and it remains to be seen whether other IOL materials with
square edged profile will have a similar low incidence of Pc9,.
