Cataract Surgery Using Biaspheric IOLs in Patients With Corneal Irregularities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Case reports of six patients having pre-existing corneal irregularities were prepared. They included patients with keratoconus, hexagonal keratotomy, corneal transplant, LASIK, ABMD and previous penetrating injury. Pre and postoperative refraction and topography were analyzed. All patients received biaspheric IOLs and some received corneal or limbal relaxing incisions at the time of the surgical procedure.

Toric Intraocular Lenses in Cataract Surgery
In modern cataract surgery, spectacle freedom is becoming more and more important. Emmetropia can be achieved for patients with myopic or hyperopic refractive errors by selecting the appropriate spherical lens power. However, approximately 20% of patients who undergo cataract surgery have 1.25 diopters (D) of corneal astigmatism or more. (FerrerBlasco, Montes-Mico et al. 2009; Hoffmann and Hutz...
متن کاملCorrecting Astigmatism with Acrysof Toric Lenses (SN60T3 to SN60T9) in Cataract Surgery
Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Acrysof Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) implantation in cataract surgery for the correction of regular corneal astigmatism. Methods: Twenty eyes of 16 patients with cataract and regular corneal astigmatism of 1.00-4.00 diopter (D) underwent surgery. Depending on the amount of corneal astigmatism, an Acrysof Toric IOL of type SN...
متن کاملComparison of poly (methyl methacrylate) and acrylic hydrophobic intraocular lens surface irregularities using atomic force microscopy
Background: Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a very frequent complication of phacoemulsification surgery in patients undergoing cataract extraction. This has led to modifications in design and material of intraocular lenses (IOLs). There is increasing evidence suggesting that foldable acrylic hydrophobic IOLs are associated with lower PCO incidence. However, traditional rigid poly methy...
متن کاملPostoperative Astigmatic Outcomes Based on the Haptic Axis of Intraocular Lenses Inserted in Cataract Surgery
PURPOSE This study was conducted to compare post-operative astigmatic outcomes of two groups, with-the-rule (WTR) and against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism patients, according to the haptic axis of intraocular lenses (IOLs) inserted in cataract surgery. METHODS Seventy-two eyes with WTR astigmatism and 79 eyes with ATR astigmatism had cataract surgery through a clear corneal temporal incision. T...
متن کاملAre changes in ocular aberrations with age a significant problem for refractive surgery?
We discuss current knowledge about the change of aberrations with aging, cataract surgery, and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia. Based on this evidence, we speculate about the long-term expectations for postoperative LASIK eyes in terms of aberrations. Standard myopic LASIK surgery produces a significant increase in aberrations, particularly corneal spherical aberration, which ch...
