Abstract Details

Purpose:

We would like to discuss the accuracy of IOL calculation for patients with age related cataract following irisfixation PIOL implantation.

Setting:

Polikliniek Oogheelkunde Sint-Truiden, University Clinic Maastricht

Methods:

We studied 67 patients (103 eyes) who had undergone an irisfixation PIOL implantation since 1991 and who developed age related cataract afterwards. We studied preoperative and postoperative BCVA, UCVA, refraction, etc.

Results:

In our experience we have good results with these patients and use a simple an accurate technique to calculate the power for the IOL for cataract surgery.

Conclusions:

Today, when we perform refractive surgery we have to think not only of the near future of our patients but especially of their long term future. After irisfixation PIOL implantation, there is an easy and accurate calculation possible for cataract surgery.
