Methods: Sixteen Hydrophilic Acrylic foldable intraocular lenses from 14 patients who presented with decreased visual acuity from 6 months to 1 year after normal phacoemulsification and IOL implantation associated with extensive transparent change on optic of the lens. The lenses were explanted with the bisection technique. All the eyes were reinserted with Acrysof foldable lenses.
Results: Sixteen lenses were removed successfully and exchanged with the new lens in the capsule. The posterior capsular rupture and vitreous loss were found in the first two cases. One of them had the zonulysis due to the radial tear of the anterior capsule during the enlargement of the capsular opening. The anterior vitrectomy was performed with IOL fixed on the ciliary sulcus. The visual acuity of all the patients improved obviously without posterior complication.
Conclusion: Foldable lens explantation with the bisection technique and exchange had a successful outcome with improvement of ocular condition. Eye science 2001; 17:54 ～56.展开更多
