چکیده
JULY/AUGUST 2010 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY EUROPE 15 H ydrophilic IOLs have many appealing characteristics, such as good optical clarity, good biocompatibility, a low incidence of dysphotopias, and good compressibility allowing implantation through small incisions. Many of these characteristics are due to the water content of hydrophilic lenses, which can vary from 18% to 30%. In contrast, hydrophobic lenses contain less than 1% water. Calcification has been reported with some hydrophilic IOLs, and subsequently many have had to be explanted.1 As a result, the usage and reputation of these lens materials have suffered. However, newer hydrophilic IOLs appear to be largely free of this problem and are widely used today.

FEBRUARY 2011 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY EUROPE 17 C ataract surgery has transitioned from a standardized, lens-based procedure to refractive surgery. This evolution has required the assembly of different parts, like a puzzle, to optimize postoperative distance and near UCVA. New phaco platforms, instruments, and IOLs, along with the new techniques and the right attitude, have enabled ...

OCTOBER 2011 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY EUROPE 31 A classic problem in cataract surgery is the a priori determination of the ideal power of the IOL to be implanted. After a long history of efforts by many practitioners and enthusiasts, current IOL power calculation methods provide reasonably good average accuracy. However, the price for this progress is an increasing number of formulas...

Purpose: To examine the visual and refractive results of cataract surgery by phacoemulsification method in patients with keratoconus. Methods: In this retrospective study, the files of patients with keratoconus, who underwent phacoemulsification between 2008 and 2017, were evaluated. The intraocular lens power calculation formula was SRK/T. Post-operative visual and refractive results were anal...
