Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the properties and clinical outcomes after implantation the new hydrophobic intraocular lens CT LUCIA 601P in patients undergoing routine cataract surgery. Material and Methods: The study included 38 patients (43 eyes), mean age 70 +- 8 years (range 56-91 years) with senile cataract.
After phacoemulsification intraocular lens CT LUCIA 601P was implanted. Patients were evaluated at 4 months after surgery.
We assessed uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction, keratometry and the incidence of posterior capsule opacification (PCO - Posterior capsule opacification). Results: Before surgery the mean UCVA was 0.3 +- 0.18 and four months after surgery was 0.7 +- 0.15.
The mean UCVA before surgery was 0.58 +- 0.21 and after surgery was 0.94 +- 0.08. PCO value was 0.199 +- 0.05, that means minimal incidence of PCO.
Conclusion: The new hydrophobic intraocular lens CT LUCIA 601P could be easily implanted and after surgery shows a high degree of biocompatibility in patients undergoing routine cataract surgery.
