Clinical Results of Implantation of Hydrophilic Acrylic Intraocular Lenses

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of Akreos? hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation compared with implantation of Acrysof? hydrophobic acrylic IOL. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed each fifty eyes in 50 patients who had undergone phacoemulsification and implantation of Akreos? and Acrysof? IOLs, with a minimum follow-up period of one year. Results: Final visual acuity better than 0.5 and 0.8 was 70% and 27% in the Akreos? implanted group, and 82% and 46% in the Acrysof? group. Predictability less than 1.0D was seen in 23 eyes (46%) in the Akreos? group. This is a significantly low percentage compared with that seen in 43 eyes (86%) in the Acrysof? group. The final spherical equivalent of -0.93±0.92D in the Akreos? group represented statistically significant myopic refractive error compared with -0.49±0.82D in the Acrysof? group. Conclusions: It is necessary to consider the myopic refractive error toDetermine the proper target refraction for the implantation of Akreos? IOL.
