“…In addition, we found that there were no statistical differences between groups as regard nasal angle, and there was significant increase in temporal angle in each group, with no differences between two groups and as regard anterior chamber depth, there was significant increase only in group B [With Implant of Eyecryl hydrophilic IOL], and no differences between two groups. This was compared with the study by Said et al [9] . It was a prospective, non-randomized comparative study, which decided the adjustments in the AC parameters and IOP following phacoemulsification of cataract, and revealed that adjustments in [ACA] at temporal side before and after cataract removal.…”

Background: Phacoemulsification can cause changes in the measurements of the anterior segment. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography [AS-OCT] is a disconnected probe device that can detect variations in the anterior segment parameters. The aim of the work: The current study aimed to investigate changes in anterior chamber angle [ACA] morphology and intraocular pressure [IOP] after phacoemulsification of cataract and intraocular lens implantation by comparing two groups of patients using two brands of IOL [Sensar 1 hydrophobic one-piece IOL] and [Eyecryl hydrophilic one-piece IOL] in patients with senile cataract using [AS-OCT]. Patients and Methods: Our study was a prospective randomized study including 30 eyes with impaired vision due to cataract, as the only cause of visual regression selected from the patients who attended Al-Azhar University Hospital [Damietta branch] Ophthalmic outpatient Clinic and were randomized into two groups. Group A [15 eyes] was implanted with [Sensar 1 hydrophobic IOL] and Group B [15 eyes] was implanted with [Eyecryl hydrophilic IOL].Results: the results revealed that there was a significant increase in the AC angle in both groups, except for the AC depth in group A, but the difference between groups was statistically non-significant. Conclusion:Phacoemulsification with IOL implantation led to an increase in the ACA, a marked increase in BCVA and a reduction in IOP, if using [Sensar 1 hydrophobic one-piece IOL] or [Eyecryl hydrophilic one-piece IOL]. However, we cannot generalize the results because of the small sample size.
