Clinical results of AcrySof intraocular lens implantation.

PURPOSE: To analyze the clinical results of AcrySof intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

SETTING

San Juan University Hospital, Alicante, Spain.

METHODS

This retrospective study comprised 100 patients with cataract 81 without previous eye pathology and 19 with previous eye pathology (i.e., diabetes, traumatic cataract, central corneal leukoma, glaucoma). Phacoemulsification technique depended on the type of cataract. Mean follow-up was 9 months.

RESULTS

Best corrected visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 11.52% of patients with preoperative eye pathology and in 100% of those without pathology.

CONCLUSION

Implantation of AcrySof IOLs did not result in complications or adverse reactions in our series, indicating that its use is safe in small incision cataract surgery.
