Abstract:
Background: The postoperative residual spherical equivalent (SE) refractive error of the posterior chamber intraocular lens insertion is the cause result in significant distant vision loss. Objective: The study evaluated residual SE refractive error of the patients having ocular trauma undergoing a trans pars plana vitreo-lensectomy and posterior chamber intraocular lens insertion, for recorrection of the preoperative IOL power calculated formula are also investigated. Subjects: 43 consecutive patients who underwent a trans pars plana vitreo-lensectomy and posterior chamber intraocular lens insertion in the sulcus, in the Trauma Department of National Institute of Ophthalmology, from December 2005 to June 2007. Method: This was a prospective cross-sectional study. Results: Among 43 patients, there were 39 men and 4 women, age ranged from 10 to 45 years. In the most cases, the residual spherical equivalent deviation was planned to achieve final mild myopia (mean -1.75 D by manifest refraction; -1.9 D by autorefractor measurements). The surgery could provide a best corrected visual acuity at over 0.2 (81.4%). Conclusions: Intraocular lens implantation at the time of trans pars plana vitreo-lensectomy could provide a reasonable restoration of visual acuity and binocular function. However, recorrection of the IOL power calculation was necessary in these cases.
