[Evaluation of the Clinical Results of Implantation the Hydrophobic Intraocular Lens CT LUCIA 601P].

PURPOSE: To evaluate the properties and clinical outcomes after implantation the new hydrophobic intraocular lens CT LUCIA 601P in patients undergoing routine cataract surgery.

MATERIAL AND

METHODS

The study included 38 patients (43 eyes), mean age 70±8 years (range 56-91 years) with senile cataract. After phacoemulsification intraocular lens CT LUCIA 601P was implanted. Patients were evaluated at 4 months after surgery. We assessed uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction, keratometry and the incidence of posterior capsule opacification (PCO--Posterior capsule opacification).

RESULTS

Before surgery the mean UCVA was 0.3±0.18 and four months after surgery was 0.7±0.15. The mean BCVA before surgery was 0.58±0.21 and after surgery was 0.94±0.08. PCO value was 0.199±0.05, that means minimal incidence of PCO.

CONCLUSION

The new hydrophobic intraocular lens CT LUCIA 601P could be easily implanted and after surgery shows a high degree of biocompatibility in patients undergoing routine cataract surgery.
