Abstract Details

Purpose:

To assess refractive and aberrometric results after the implantation of a new hydrophobic acrylic IOL.

Setting:

Eye Center, Humanitas Research Hospital, Rozzano – Milan - Italy

Methods:

We implanted Clareon®, a new hydrophobic acrylic IOL in 17 cataract eyes of 17 patients. This IOL features a specifically designed edge to minimize the potential for edge glare and positive dysphotopsias, as well as reducing the occurrence of PCO.

Results:

We implanted the IOL in 17 eyes of 17 patients. Preoperative refraction was +0.20D±2.58D sph and -1.48D±1.02D cyl (-0.39D±2.26D SE). Refractive target was -0.31±0.85 (range: -2.50D to 0,00D). One month postoperatively, mean values were as follows: UCVA 0.60±0.32, BSCVA 0.86±0.20 with -0.01D±1.44 D sph and -1.22D±1.19D cyl (-0.63D±1.30D SE). Internal spherical aberration (SA) decreased significantly (p < .05) for a 4 mm pupil (from 0.13± 0.16 μ to 0.06±0.05 μ). Corneal SA remained unchanged. No patient complained of dysphotopsias or glare.

Conclusions:

The studied IOL provided reliable correction of defect, as well as reduction of internal SA. No dysphotopsias or glare were reported at one month.
