Abstract:
We examined the clinical results of silicone IOL[SI-30NB]for 3 years or more. A total of 50 eyes underwent phacoemulsification and foldable silicone posterior chamber lens implantation through 3.2 millimeter temporal clear corneal incision. Preoperative and post-operative intraocular pressure, visual acuity, corneal astigmatism and complications were evaluated. More than 94%of all cases showed best corrected visual acuity better than 20/40 and intraocular pressure was decreased for 2 months. At 1 day after operation, mean surgically induced astigmatism was minimal[0.64 +/-1.42]and recovered fast. Posterior capsular opacity was found in 26%;however, Nd-YAG laser capsulotomy was performed in 18%. In conclusion, foldable silicone lens implantation through 3.2 millimetertemporal clear corneal incision revealed a low incidence of complication, minimally induced astigmatism, and rapid visual rehabilitation.
