Abstract:
PROPOSE: To compare the decentration and tilt between Aquasense(R) and Acrysof(R). METHODS: The subjects of this study were 48 patients (56 eyes) with Aquasense(R) and 44 patients (49 eyes) with Acrysof(R). Each posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCL) was inserted into the capsular bag after continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification. The decentration and tilt of Aquasense(R) and Acrysof(R) were measured 1 day, 30 days and 60 days postoperatively using anterior eye segment analysis system (EAS-1000, Nidek, Japan). RESULTS: The decentration showed no difference between Aquasense(R) and Acrysof(R) on 1st (P=0.19), 30th (P=0.07) and 60th (P=0.06) postoperative day. The tilt showed no difference between Aquasense(R) and Acrysof(R) on 1st (P=0.4), 30th (P=0.47) and 60th (P=0.22) postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS: The decentration and tilt of the two intraocular lenses showed no difference on the 60th postoperative day.
