Purpose To report the long-term follow-up (more than 10 years) of three patients who have undergone polypseudophakia phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Methods A case series of three patients and four procedures. Two poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lenses (IOLs) were placed within the capsular bag (P359UV, Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany). No complications occurred peri-operatively. A full ophthalmological examination was performed at 10-year follow-up, looking for decentration, tilt, and complications of interlenticular opacification (ILO) between the IOLs.
Case report A questionnaire was sent to 939 consultant ophthalmologists in the UK. Of them, 658 (70%) returned the survey and 98 (15%) identified themselves as PO.All POs had GT available in their units and 99% had a Tonopen or Perkins. Less than 50% had an Airpuff and less than 15% had an iCARE tonometer. POs were subdivided into eight groups (G1-G8) depending on which instruments
