Abstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate clinical results of AT-45. METHODS: In a prospective study, 24 eyes of 21 patients had phacoemulsification and AT-45 implantation. Clinical data included distance visual acuity, near visual acuity, complication, during the 6-months follow-up period. RESULTS: Result analysis was performed with 22 eyes of 19 patients, except 2 complicated eyes. 6-months after operation, 22 eyes (100%) and 19 eyes (86.4%) were achieved best corrected visual acuity 20/25 and 20/20 or better respectively. 21 eyes (95.4%) and 7 eyes (31.8%) were achieved best distance corrected near visual acuity 20/40 and 20/25 or better respectively. Posterior capsular opacity was developed in 5 eyes (22.7%) and posterior synechia was developed in 1 eye (4.5%). CONCLUSIONS: Clinical result of cataract surgery with AT-45 was relatively satisfactory. Long term follow-up is recommended.
