Aspheric microincision intraocular lens implantation with biaxial microincision cataract surgery: Efficacy and reliability

Abstract

The aspheric microincision IOL was safely implanted through a 1.8 mm or smaller incision during biaxial MICS and gave good postoperative outcomes.

Fellow-eye comparison of 2 aspheric microincision intraocular lenses and effect of asphericity on visual performance

“…Capsular bag contraction and phimosis are recognized postoperative complications of microincision IOLs. [17][18][19] Although Can et al 18 report that the progressive resistance of the haptics of the Akreos MI60 IOL was designed to prevent capsular bag contraction and optic displacement, they report 3 eyes (3%) with anterior capsule phimosis. Cavallini et al 19 report a single case of anterior capsule phimosis with the Akreos MI60.…”

Comparison of clinical outcomes with 2 small-incision diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses

“…[1][2][3] Although few multifocal IOLs that can be implanted through incisions of 2.0 mm or smaller are available, they are reported to resolve some of the problems of conventional small-incision IOLs. [4][5][6][7][8] In addition to multifocality, these IOLs must have the same good uveal and capsular biocompatibility as conventional monofocal IOLs. Most important, they must remain perfectly centered in the capsular bag to restore visual performance and quality of vision and to prevent dysphotopsia symptoms.…”

Final incision size after implantation of a hydrophobic acrylic aspheric intraocular lens: New motorized injector versus standard manual injector

“…In recently published studies, the smallest final incision size for the hydrophobic acrylic Acrysof SN60WF IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.) ranged from 2.0 to 2.5 mm, 7,8 although smaller final incision sizes have been reported for hydrophilic acrylic IOLs. 9 That there is such a wide range of reported final incision sizes suggests a significant element of surgical technique is involved in implanting through these smaller incisions.…”
