2-Year Results of MemoryLens Hydrophilic Acrylic Intraocular Lenses after Cataract Surgery

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of thermoplastic, hydrophilic acrylic IOL CV232 (MemoryLens?, CIVA Vision, USA) to those of hydrophobic acrylic IOL AR40e (Sensar?, AMO, USA). Methods: Twenty patients had in-the-bag implantation of a MemoryLens? IOL in 1 eye and a Sensar? in the opposite eye in a randomized fashion after uneventful phacoemulsification. We evaluated the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and posterior capsule opacification (PCO) at a mean 30.05 months after surgery. Results: Two years postoperatively, a BCVA of 0.8 or better was found in 65% of the MemoryLens? group and in 60% of the Sensar? group. There was no statistically significant differences between the two groups (p>0.50). PCO developed in 55% in the MemoryLens? group and in 65% of the Sensar? group. Again, no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups (p>0.50). Conclusions: There were no significant differences between the two different intraocular lenses in BCVA or PCO postoperatively.
