Purpose: To assess the outcomes of anterior chamber foldable intraocular lens (IOL) for aphakia correction. Materials and Methods:Retrospective non-comparative case series study for patients who underwent an operation for aphakia correction by the means of injection of an angular supported 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 & corneal endothelial cell count.Results: 15 patients were included in the study; 8 males &7 females. Mean age was 50.75 ± 11.275years. Mean follow-up duration was10.8 ± 2.02 months. The mean log-MAR visual acuity was 1.14 ± 0.46 pre-operatively and 0.605 ±0.489 post-operatively (P = 0.003). The change in IOP and corneal endothelial cell count were not statistically significant. Conclusion:Injection of angular supported foldable IOL in the AC is a useful technique for the correction of aphakia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
