Purpose:
To report the outcomes after Crystalens HD accommodative intraocular lens implantation
Setting:
Institute of Vision and Optics
Methods:
24 patients (48 eyes) with mean age 62,09± 4,49 years (range from 54 to 71 years) underwent routine cataract surgery and bilateral Crystalens HD accommodative intraocular lens implantation. Crystalens HD is inserted through a 2.8mm incision. Pseudoaccommodation can be achieved since capsular contraction slightly distorts the optic that is forced anteriorly, changing the radius of the lens. RESULTS Mean follow-up was 17,13 ± 7,08 months (range from 9 to 29 ). Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UDVA) improved from 0,4 ±0,27 (range from 1 to 0) preoperatively to 0,14±0,13 (range from 0,46 to 0 ) and Distance Corrected Visual Acuity (CDVA) improved from 0,11 ± 0,15 (range from 0,54 to 0 ) preoperatively to 0,03 ±0,07 (range from 0,26 to 0) (LogMar) at the last follow up. 72% of our patients had J2 or better of near vision, at the last follow up, measured with Birkhauser reading charts at 35cm under photopic conditions. 61% of our patients had J2 or better of intermediate vision, measured with Birkhauser reading charts at 60cm under photopic conditions No complications occurred intra or postoperatively.
Conclusions:
Crystalens HD accommodative intraocular lens implantation by accomplishing lens movement can restore some degree of accommodation providing satisfactory visual outcomes for distant, intermediate and near vision.
