Objective: To evaluate the clinical results of implantation of foldable intraocular lens in multiple types of cataract.
Methods: This retrospective study comprised 162 eyes of 148 patients undergoing phacoemulsification and implantation of foldable intraocular lens, some of whom underwent combined pars plana vitrectomy or trabeculectomy or silicone oil removal. The period of follow-up was from 3 months to 17 months.
Results: There is slight reaction postoperatively in all cases. The postoperative uncorrected visual acuites was from 0.05 to 1.2, patient with 0.6 or above acuity were 70.98%. A neodymium: YAG capsulotomy was required in 5 eyes. Posterior capsule ruptured in 1 eyes, and a PMMA intraocular lens was implanted in ciliary sulcus. In one eye, a lens was removed because of recurrence of retina detachment.
Conclusions: The application of foldable intraocular lens in multiple types of cataract is safe, and there is a slight postoperative reaction. less complications, and fast visual acuity recovery.
