Hydrophobic Acrylic Intraocular Lens in Both Eyes
摘要
Purpose:To report on the clinical findings of a case of late opacification of the hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOLs) in both eyes after cataract surgery. Methods: A 79-year-old man with a history of decreased visual acuity and complaints of glare and blurred vision in both eyes over the past 3 years..He had received an uneventful phacoemulsification combined with posterior chamber IOL implantation for senile cataract in both eyes 13 years ago,.and had undergone neodymium:YAG(Nd:YAG).laser posterior capsulotomy on both eyes 6 years ago,.for posterior capsular opacification.(PCO)..The optical portion of the IOLs showed uniform gray haze..Binocular posterior capsular laser holes were clearly noted. Results:.IOL exchange was performed by the same surgeon on both eyes, three days apart. Postoperatively, the patient’s visual acuity was elevated to 6/12 (OD) and 6/9 (OS) at 6 months, and intraocular pressure (IOP) reached 16.8 mmHg (OD) and 18.4 mmHg (OS). Neither glare or blurred vision were observed in either eye. Conclusion: IOL exchange can be used to effectively manage clinically significant optic opacification.
