Anterior Chamber Foldable IOL for Aphakia Correction
Purpose
To assess the outcomes of anterior chamber foldable Intraocular lens (IOL) for aphakia correction
Methods
Retrospective non-comparative case series study for patients who underwent an operation for aphakia correction by the means of injection of an angular suppoted foldable IOL performed for 20 eyes of 15 patients. Student's paired t-test was carried out to compare pre-operative and post-operative visual acuity (VA),IOP and corneal endothelial cell count.
Results
15 patients were included in the study; 12 males & 3 females. Mean age was 55.38+_ 17.67 years. Mean follow-up duration was 5.95+_3.14 months. The mean log-MAR visual acuity was 1.26+_0.46 pre-operatively and 0.78+_0.57 postoperatively (P=0.003). The change in IOP and corneal endothelial cell count were not statistically significant.
Conclusion
Injection of angular support foldable IOL in the AC is a useful technique for the correction of aphakia
