Rotational stability and capsular bag performance of a hydrophobic acrylic open-loop single-piece intraocular lens

Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the rotational stability and capsular bag performance of a blue light-absorbing hydrophobic acrylic open-loop single-piece intraocular lens (IOL) with a blast-finished anchor wing haptic design during the first 6 postoperative months.

Methods

In this prospective clinical study, patients with age-related cataract and potential postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) of 0.2 logMAR or better were included. The patients received a non-toric hydrophobic acrylic single-piece IOL with an axis mark (YST0.00; Nidek Co. Ltd, Japan). Surgeries were video-taped. Retroillumination images were acquired 1 h, 1 week and 6 months postoperatively. Rotational stability was assessed by precise image overlay. At 6 months, Purkinje meter measurements were performed to evaluate tilt and decentration.

Results

In total, 100 eyes of 77 patients were included in the analysis. Mean absolute rotation was 2.1 ± 1.7° (median 1.7, range: 0–7.9) at 6 months (1 h – 6 months postoperatively). IOL rotation was ≤3° and ≤6° in 74 (74%) and 98 (98%) eyes, respectively. Mean absolute IOL rotation from the end of surgery to 6 months was 2.5 ± 2.2° (median 2.3, range: 0–15.6; n = 78). Mean tilt (pupillary axis) and decentration were 4.1 ± 1.9° (median 4.0, range: 0.5–8.2) and 0.35 ± 0.17 mm (median 0.32, range: 0.06–0.91) respectively (n = 84). Postoperatively, 98 (98%) eyes achieved a CDVA of 0.2 logMAR or better, 95 (95%) of ≤0.1 and 81 (81%) of ≤0.0.

Conclusions

This hydrophobic acrylic single-piece IOL showed an excellent rotational stability and capsular bag position with low tilt and decentration values.
