Preliminary results of cataract extraction with implantation of a single-piece AcrySof intraocular lens

Abstract

Initial results indicate that the single-piece AcrySof SA30AL IOL has good biocompatibility, haptic flexibility and resistance, and stability in the capsular bag. The incidence of PCO in 1 eye could have been the result of several factors and requires further evaluation. An area of future study is the wide haptic of the lens, which may create a path for cells to proliferate as they travel from the equatorial capsule.

The Effect of Single-Piece Hydrophobic Acrylic Intraocular Lenses on the Development of Posterior Capsule Opacification

“…This could cause a loss of barrier function to migrating lens epithelial cells, which may worsen PCO inhibition. [25][26][27][28] In the present study, there was no significant difference in PCO from 3 to 5 years after surgery. We believe that the existing migratory lens epithelial cells at the optic-haptic junction or beneath the IOL optic create a tight barrier effect against the posterior capsule preventing the migration of lens epithelial cells towards central visual axis.…”

Effect of the AcrySof Natural intraocular lens on blue–yellow perimetry

“…[6][7][8] Although we expected to find interference with the blue-yellow test by the yellow chromophore of AcrySof Natural IOL, our data did not support this hypothesis.…”

Capsulorhexis ovaling and capsular bag stretch after rigid and foldable intraocular lens implantation

“…The modified L-loop haptics are described as stable-force haptics and are made of the same hydrophoduring surgery were not uncommon because of the elasticity of the anterior lens capsule in infants and bic acrylic biomaterial. 19 The loop memory of the StableForce haptics in an AcrySof IOL have not been young children. This may at least partly alter the outcome of the capsulorhexis ovaling.…”
