Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose: to compare the difference in Visual acuity ,PCO and Uveitis between acrylic hydrophilic and acrylic hydrophobic Intraocular lenses implanted after hacoemulsification surgery. Material and methods: The study was carried out from march 2014 to September 2014 at Lumbini Eye Institute ,Shree Rana-Ambika Shah Eye Hospital,Bhairahawa,Nepal .Sixty patients were included in the study and were equally divided in two groups. All patients underwent Phacoemulsification with IOL implantation by a single surgeon (30 patients hydrophilic IOL and 30 hydrophobic IOL). Results: 94% had VA of 6/12 or better unaided or with refraction, 3% developed posterior capsule thickening, whereas, none of the patients developed Uveitis after six months. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between two IOLs regarding VA, Uveitis and PCO after six month follow up. There was no effect of biomaterial on PCO.
