"Purpose:
In this study and anterior posterior capsular opacification (PCO) of Tecnis ZCB00 is compared intraindividually with that of the Alcon Acrysof SN60AT intraocular lens after 12 months of implantation.
Setting:
Dept. of Ophthalmology
Academic Teaching Hospital of St. John, Vienna, Austria
Methods:
138 eyes of 69 patients with bilateral cataract were prospective randomized to receive a Tecnics ZCB600 single piece hydrophobic IOL or a Acrysof SN 60 AT single piece hydrophobic IOL in the first eye to have surgery. The alternate IOL was implanted in the other eye immediately after the first surgery by the same surgeon. Postoperative follow-up was 1day and 1 year. Posterior capsule opacification was evaluated by digital retroillumination photographs with the EPCO software. RESULTS There were no intra- or postoperative complications detected. Acrysof IOL showed statistically significant higher Anterior Capsule Opacification. Most of the Acrysof IOLs had glistenings after 1 year. EPCO PCO scores was not statistically significant different.
Conclusions:
Both IOLs had relatively low rates of PCO after one year. However higher rates of the glistenings of the Acrysof might be disturbing
