Abstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate complications and refractive outcomes of implantation of a single-piece acrylic intraocular lens (SPA-IOL) in the ciliary sulcus during phacoemulsification complicated with posterior capsule tear (PCT). METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who visited our hospital from 2014 January to 2015 June with implantation of a SPA-IOL (RAYNER 920H Superflex) in the ciliary sulcus during phacoemulsification complicated with PCT. Patients had their IOL power reduced by 1 diopter (D) from that calculated for in-the-bag implantation. At 3 months after operation, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and a refraction test were performed. RESULTS: PCT requiring implantation of IOL in the ciliary sulcus occurred in 17 eyes. Postoperative complications included corneal edema (3 eyes), anterior segment inflammation (1 eye), intraocular pressure elevations (3 eyes). However, improvements resulting from proper management and no significant IOL decentration were observed. At 3 months after operation, the mean spherical equivalent was -0.79 ± 0.39 D (-0.25 to -1.5 D), the mean UCVA was 0.77 ± 0.22 (0.4 to 1.0), and the mean BCVA was 0.94 ± 0.08 (0.8 to 1.0). CONCLUSIONS: Sulcus implantation of a SPA-IOL (RAYNER 920H Superflex) has no clinically significant complication, and the mean spherical equivalent after 3 months with a power reduction of 1.0 D was -0.79 ± 0.39 D (-0.25 to -1.5 D).
