Abstract Details

Purpose:

To study the safety, efficacy and clinical outcomes with a new design of posterior chamber capsular fixation IOL.

Setting:

Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital, Bangalore.

Methods:

30 eyes from 30 patients with mean age of 65.2 years, underwent implantation with the new IOL design after routine phacoemulsification.  The IOL is a hydrophobic, acrylic, foldable IOL with two extra swivel haptics at 3 and 9 o’clock positions made of a proprietary material.After implantation into the bag, the swivel haptics were captured on to the anterior capsulotomy. The mean follow up was 6 months±18 days.

Results:

The mean power of the IOLs implanted was +22.0 ±0.7 D . The pre-operative mean spherical equivalent(SE) was -2.38 ±0.7 D which reduced to -0.75 .22±0.6 D at 6 months. The mean anterior chamber depth(ACD) measurements with IOL Master 700 were 4.32±0.33mm, 4.26 ±0.19mm and 4.27±0.63mm at day 1, 2 weeks and 6 months post-operatively(p>0.05). The rotational stability of the lens was evaluated with serial clinical photographs till 6 months post operatively, and all IOLs were found to be stable with no change in the position of swivel haptics. 1 eye showed evidence of minimal PCO.

Conclusions:

The new hydrophobic capsular fixation IOL was safe and easy to implant and appeared to maintain a stable position, potentially ensuring a stable effective lens position. Potential advantages of this IOL  – simple design, easy loading and insertion, no or minimal dysphotopsia, good stability on toric and multifocal platform and easy explantation of required.
