Abstract:
Purpose:The Eyelike K-flex Aspheric® (Koryoeyetech, Seoul, Korea) is manufactured in 0.25-diopter (D) intervals, which allows the target refractive error after surgery to be achieved. We here evaluate the refractive power outcomes.
Methods:We retrospectively studied 95 eyes of 72 patients who underwent cataract surgery with implantation of the Eyelike K-flex Aspheric®. Refractive error was measured at 1 and 2 months postoperatively (33 eyes of 27 patients) and compared to that of patients fitted with 0.50-D-interval lenses (62 eyes of 49 patients).
Results:At 1 month postoperatively, the mean absolute error between the spherical equivalent and planned value was 0.33 ± 0.28 and 0.41 ± 0.39 D in the 0.25- and 0.50 D-interval lens groups, respectively (p = 0.318). At 2 months postoperatively, the respective values were 0.21 ± 0.15 and 0.34 ± 0.29 D (p = 0.009).
Conclusions:The Eyelike K-flex Aspheric® shows excellent refractive predictability; use of 0.25-D-interval intraocular lenses close to the target refractive power allows the desired spherical equivalent to be achieved.
