Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate optical and functional outcomes and patients satisfaction after binocularly Implantation of a Small-Aperture IOL ,IC8.

Setting:

Augenklinik Cham,Germany

Methods:

In a prospective case study from September 2018-October 2019 a series of 20 patients, presenting for cataract surgery, were implanted bilaterally with a single-piece hydrophobic,acrylic IOL with a centrally located opaque annular mask measuring 3.23 mm in total diameter with a 1.36 mm central aperture. The visual acuity for distance, intermediate and near vision was evaluated. The quality of vision, glare, halos and the personal satisfaction of the patients was assessed with a validated questionnaire.

Results:

Three months after the Implantation the mean UCVA for distance was 0,78, binocular 0,87 for intermediate monocular 073, binocular 0,76,for near vision monocular 0,54, binocular 0,62. The mean refraction was -0,25D. None of the patients needed glasses for working on PC, 76 % were able to read newspaper without glasses. The questionnaire showed, that 30% of the patients were very satisfied and 70% satisfied with the achieved results, nobody complained about halos and glares.

Conclusions:

Early optical and functional results from patients implanted bilateral with this novel IOL shows, that the small –Aperture IOL, IC 8 implanted bilateral provides an excellent visual acuity for distance, intermediate and very good near vision. All patient were satisfied with the achieved results
