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

RESULTS: The mean improvement of uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA) was greater in IF-IOL group compared to the SF-IOL group(0.43 D±0.19 D vs 0.35 D±0.18 D, P 〈0.05). Moreover, 12(38.71%) eyes in IF-IOL group and 4(12.50%) in SF-IOL group had a higher postoperative UCVA than preoperative best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) while 9(29.03%) eyes in IF-IOLgroup and 18(56.25%) in SF-IOL group had a lower postoperative UCVA than preoperative BCVA. The myopic mean manifest sphere and mean cylinder magnitude were lower in the IF-IOL group than that in the SF-IOL group(-0.47 D±0.58 D vs 0.50 D±0.43 D, P 〈0.01; 0.84 D ±0.53 D vs 1.23 D ±0.70 D, P 〈0.05). No difference of corneal astigmatism and surgically induced astigmatism was found between the two groups. In addition, fewer complications were observed in IF-IOL eyes. CONCLUSION: IF-IOL implantation can give a significant improvement in vision with fewer complications than SF-IOL in patients with insufficient capsular support.展开更多

METHODS: The comparative prospective study included 39 eyes of 23 patients with high myopia, 19 eyes had Visian lens implantation(model V4 c) and 20 eyes had Artiflex lens implantation. The inclusion criteria were high myopia(higher than 6.0 D) and stable refraction(<0.5 D change over one year). Outcomes included assessment of safety and efficacy indices, predictability, stability, contrast sensitivity and analysis of complications at postoperative 1 d, 1 wk and 1, 3, 6 and 12 mo. Selection of the type of phakic intraocular lens for patients was based on surgeons' preferences, which was no specific selection criteria. RESULTS: After 12 mo of follow up, difference in uncorrected and corrected distant visual acuity(CDVA) between both groups was statistically insignificant(UDVA for VisianV4 c and Artiflex lens were 0.33±0.2 logMAR and 0.37±0.2 logMAR respectively, P=0.59, CDVA for VisianV4 c and Artiflex lens were 0.155±0.1 logMAR and 0.147± 0.1 logMAR respectively, P=0.87). The efficacy index was 1.25 for VisianV4 c lens and 0.8 for Artiflex lens, 78.9% of eyes were within one diopter spherical equivalent in Visian V4 c lens group compared to 70% in the Artiflex lens group. No eye lost lines of CVDA proving a good safety index for both lenses(safety index was 1.67 for VisianV4 c lens and 1.34 for Artiflex lens). Difference in contrast sensitivity between both groups was statistically insignificant(P=0.15, 0.88, 0.27, 0.32 and 0.82 at five spatial frequencies). CONCLUSION: Both Visian ICL V4 c and Artiflex lensesare safe and effective with stable and predictable refraction and they have comparable contrast sensitivity outcomes with no vision threatening complications.展开更多

METHODS: A technique for sutureless intrascleral fixation of the haptics of a standard 3-piece PCIOL was used which ensures sutureless fixation by permanent incarceration of the haptics in a scleral tunnel parallel to the limbus. All patients were evaluated for preoperative status [visual acuity, refractive error, K readings, intraocular pressure(IOP) measurement, slit lamp examination, fundus examination and optical biometry], postoperative status and complications. Ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM) was done for 10 cases to evaluate optic tilt. RESULTS: The study evaluated 42 eyes of 42 patients. The follow-up period was 6 mo. Improvement of best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) one line occurred in 10 cases(23.8%) and loss of one line in 3 cases(7.1%). Intraoperative complications included: haptic kink in 4 cases(9.5%), haptic breakage in 1 case(2.4%), haptic dislocation in 1 case(2.4%), haptic slippage in 3 cases(7.1%), IOL dislocation in 1 case(2.4%) and sclerotomy related bleeding in 1 case(2.4%). Postoperative complications included: transient mild vitreous hemorrhage in 3 cases(7.1%), choroidal detachment in 1 case(2.4%), cystoid macular edema(CME) in 1 case(2.4%), optic capture in 1 case(2.4%), subconjunctival haptic in 2 cases(4.8%), ocular hypotony in 4 cases(9.5%) and ocular hypertension in 1 case(2.4%). There were no cases of retinal detachment or endophthalmitis. UBM showed optic tilt in 3 cases(30%). CONCLUSION: Fixation of three-piece foldable IOL haptics in scleral tunnel parallel to the limbus-providedaxial stability and proper centration of the IOL with minimal or no tilt in most cases and a low complication rate during the follow up period which lasted 6 mo.展开更多

Lens exchange is an effective solution to this unsatisfactory status. This study was conducted to analyze the possible predisposing factors for out-of-the-bag posterior chamber intraocular lens dislocation and to study the outcomes of lens exchange surgery. Methods Thirty-six consecutive patients (36 eyes) with out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation who underwent posterior chamber intraocular lens exchange in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University (Guangdong, China) from January 2003 to October 2009 were included. A 6-month follow-up was completed. The causes for out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation and visual outcomes of posterior chamber intraocular lens exchange were analyzed. The out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation was diagnosed on the basis of the findings from slit-lamp microscope and B-ultrasound. The dislocated intraocular lens was explanted. Reimplantation of a new posterior chamber intraocular lens was performed in each case using standardized surgical procedures. Results In this study, a total of thirty-six consecutive patients (36 eyes) with out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation underwent posterior chamber intraocular lens exchange surgery. Causes for out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation included posterior capsule rupture during the initial cataract extraction procedure (23 eyes, 63.8%), trauma (5 eyes, 13.9%), neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser-induced dislocation (2 eyes, 5.6%), the status after vitrectomy (2 eyes, 5.6%) and unidentifiable etiology (4 eyes, 11.1%). Symptoms of these patients mainly included decrease in visual acuity (17 cases, 47.2%), blurred vision (16 cases, 44.4%), glare (1 case, 2.8%), diplopia (1 case, 2.8%), and halo (1 case, 2.8%). Intraocular lens dislocation into the posterior vitreous cavity (29 eyes, 80.5%), anterior chamber (1 eye, 2.8%) and anterior vitreous cavity (6 eyes, 16.7%) was found in this series. The foldable intraocular lenses (acrylic or silicone) were explanted from 27 eyes (75%) and rigid intraocular lenses (poly methyl methacrylate, PMMA) from 9 eyes (25%). The most common explanted intraocular lens material was single-piece acrylic (13 pieces, 36.1%), followed by 3-piece acrylic (9 pieces, 25%), single-piece PMMA (9 pieces, 25%), and 3-piece silicone (5 pieces, 13.9%). Uncorrected visual acuity postoperatively improved in 29 eyes (81%), unchanged in 4 eyes (11%), and worsened in 3 eyes (8%) in comparison to that before exchange operation (P=0.006). Best corrected visual acuity tended to improve, but the improvement was not significant (P=0.206). Complications related to lens exchange surgery were mainly intraocular lens redislocation (1 eye), retinal detachment (1 eye), vitreous hemorrhage (1 eye), and cystoid macular edema (1 eye). Conclusions Out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation was mainly caused by posterior capsule rupture during the initial cataract extraction procedure and the foldable lens was the most common dislocated intraocular lens. In most cases, posterior chamber intraocular lens exchange surgery could provide satisfied final visual outcomes.展开更多

Great care must be taken during this maneuver to avoid a posterior capsular tear. Removing the haptics from the fibrosed capsule can also be hazardous, as it may result in zonular stress and dehiscence. A technique is described for performing foldable (one-piece acrylic) IOL removal without cutting the optic. Careful visco-dissection of the haptics with a low viscosity ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) in the fibrosed peripheral capsular tunnel avoids zonular or capsular stress. Internal wound enlargement permits foldable IOL removal in one piece, whilst preserving a self-sealing sutureless corneal wound. This technique may enhance the safety and efficacy of foldable IOL exchange.展开更多

METHODS: In this prospective study performed in Tianjin Medical University Eye Center & College of Optometry, Tianjin, China, 25 eyes of 13 patients were implanted with AcrySof phakic angle-supported IOLs and followed for 1 year postoperatively. Preoperative manifest refractive sphere was (-12.08 +/- 2.44) diopters (D) and cylinder was (-1.35 +/- 0.62)D. Visual acuity, predictability and stability of manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), adverse events, and endothelial cell density were analyzed during 1-year of follow-up. RESULTS: After 1 year of follow-up, no eyes lost 1 line (best spectacle-corrected visual acuity)BSCVA; an uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/20 or better was achieved in 60% of eyes; 100% had an UCVA of 20/40 or better; a BSCVA of 20/30 or better was achieved by 100% of eyes; 84% had a BSCVA of 20/20 or better. The overall mean percentage change in endothelial cell density 1 year after surgery was (-0.27 +/- 3.60)%. Two eyes (8%) had increased intraocular pressure (IOP) on the day of surgery. No pupil ovalization, pupillary block, or retinal detachment events were observed. CONCLUSION: After 1 year of follow-up, the implantation of AcrySof phakic angle-supported IOL is proved to be safe, effective and predictable with minimal complications in patients with high-to-extremely high myopia. Due to the limitation of visiting time, long-term of clinical investigation is necessary to verify the safety and efficacy of this IOL.展开更多

It is a safe procedure with high success rate with the advancement in machines,improvement of IOL injection systems and further maturation of surgeons’ techniques. Despite the large number of operations performed every day, foldable IOL injection leading to an intra-stromal corneal track is a very rare complication. We report a case of this unusual finding in a 70-year-old gentleman who has undergone cataract operation in November 2011 in our hospital and will review on the complications related to foldable IOL injection.展开更多

文摘AIM: To compare the outcomes of vision using two different intraocular lens(IOL) replacement techniques,iris-fixated foldable intraocular lens(IF-IOL) and scleralfixated foldable intraocular lens(SF-IOL) in patients with insufficient capsular support.METHODS: Total 63 eyes(62 patients) with insufficient posterior capsule support underwent replacement of IF-IOL or SF-IOL between January 2008 and August 2011.Outcome measures included changes in visual acuity, slit lamp examination, refractive indices and corneal curvatures. RESULTS: The mean improvement of uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA) was greater in IF-IOL group compared to the SF-IOL group(0.43 D±0.19 D vs 0.35 D±0.18 D, P 〈0.05). Moreover, 12(38.71%) eyes in IF-IOL group and 4(12.50%) in SF-IOL group had a higher postoperative UCVA than preoperative best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) while 9(29.03%) eyes in IF-IOLgroup and 18(56.25%) in SF-IOL group had a lower postoperative UCVA than preoperative BCVA. The myopic mean manifest sphere and mean cylinder magnitude were lower in the IF-IOL group than that in the SF-IOL group(-0.47 D±0.58 D vs 0.50 D±0.43 D, P 〈0.01; 0.84 D ±0.53 D vs 1.23 D ±0.70 D, P 〈0.05). No difference of corneal astigmatism and surgically induced astigmatism was found between the two groups. In addition, fewer complications were observed in IF-IOL eyes. CONCLUSION: IF-IOL implantation can give a significant improvement in vision with fewer complications than SF-IOL in patients with insufficient capsular support.
文摘AIM: To compare Visian lens(model V4 c) and Artiflex lens regarding quality(contrast sensitivity) and quantity(efficacy, predictability, safety and stability) of vision in correcting high myopia with recording and analysis of complications. METHODS: The comparative prospective study included 39 eyes of 23 patients with high myopia, 19 eyes had Visian lens implantation(model V4 c) and 20 eyes had Artiflex lens implantation. The inclusion criteria were high myopia(higher than 6.0 D) and stable refraction(<0.5 D change over one year). Outcomes included assessment of safety and efficacy indices, predictability, stability, contrast sensitivity and analysis of complications at postoperative 1 d, 1 wk and 1, 3, 6 and 12 mo. Selection of the type of phakic intraocular lens for patients was based on surgeons' preferences, which was no specific selection criteria. RESULTS: After 12 mo of follow up, difference in uncorrected and corrected distant visual acuity(CDVA) between both groups was statistically insignificant(UDVA for VisianV4 c and Artiflex lens were 0.33±0.2 logMAR and 0.37±0.2 logMAR respectively, P=0.59, CDVA for VisianV4 c and Artiflex lens were 0.155±0.1 logMAR and 0.147± 0.1 logMAR respectively, P=0.87). The efficacy index was 1.25 for VisianV4 c lens and 0.8 for Artiflex lens, 78.9% of eyes were within one diopter spherical equivalent in Visian V4 c lens group compared to 70% in the Artiflex lens group. No eye lost lines of CVDA proving a good safety index for both lenses(safety index was 1.67 for VisianV4 c lens and 1.34 for Artiflex lens). Difference in contrast sensitivity between both groups was statistically insignificant(P=0.15, 0.88, 0.27, 0.32 and 0.82 at five spatial frequencies). CONCLUSION: Both Visian ICL V4 c and Artiflex lensesare safe and effective with stable and predictable refraction and they have comparable contrast sensitivity outcomes with no vision threatening complications.
文摘AIM: To assess the sutureless scleral fixation technique for posterior chamber foldable intraocular lens(PCIOL) implantation in aphakic eyes with insufficient or no capsular support. METHODS: A technique for sutureless intrascleral fixation of the haptics of a standard 3-piece PCIOL was used which ensures sutureless fixation by permanent incarceration of the haptics in a scleral tunnel parallel to the limbus. All patients were evaluated for preoperative status [visual acuity, refractive error, K readings, intraocular pressure(IOP) measurement, slit lamp examination, fundus examination and optical biometry], postoperative status and complications. Ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM) was done for 10 cases to evaluate optic tilt. RESULTS: The study evaluated 42 eyes of 42 patients. The follow-up period was 6 mo. Improvement of best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) one line occurred in 10 cases(23.8%) and loss of one line in 3 cases(7.1%). Intraoperative complications included: haptic kink in 4 cases(9.5%), haptic breakage in 1 case(2.4%), haptic dislocation in 1 case(2.4%), haptic slippage in 3 cases(7.1%), IOL dislocation in 1 case(2.4%) and sclerotomy related bleeding in 1 case(2.4%). Postoperative complications included: transient mild vitreous hemorrhage in 3 cases(7.1%), choroidal detachment in 1 case(2.4%), cystoid macular edema(CME) in 1 case(2.4%), optic capture in 1 case(2.4%), subconjunctival haptic in 2 cases(4.8%), ocular hypotony in 4 cases(9.5%) and ocular hypertension in 1 case(2.4%). There were no cases of retinal detachment or endophthalmitis. UBM showed optic tilt in 3 cases(30%). CONCLUSION: Fixation of three-piece foldable IOL haptics in scleral tunnel parallel to the limbus-providedaxial stability and proper centration of the IOL with minimal or no tilt in most cases and a low complication rate during the follow up period which lasted 6 mo.
文摘Background Dislocation of posterior chamber intraocular lens is one of the most common complications of intraocular lens implantation. Lens exchange is an effective solution to this unsatisfactory status. This study was conducted to analyze the possible predisposing factors for out-of-the-bag posterior chamber intraocular lens dislocation and to study the outcomes of lens exchange surgery. Methods Thirty-six consecutive patients (36 eyes) with out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation who underwent posterior chamber intraocular lens exchange in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University (Guangdong, China) from January 2003 to October 2009 were included. A 6-month follow-up was completed. The causes for out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation and visual outcomes of posterior chamber intraocular lens exchange were analyzed. The out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation was diagnosed on the basis of the findings from slit-lamp microscope and B-ultrasound. The dislocated intraocular lens was explanted. Reimplantation of a new posterior chamber intraocular lens was performed in each case using standardized surgical procedures. Results In this study, a total of thirty-six consecutive patients (36 eyes) with out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation underwent posterior chamber intraocular lens exchange surgery. Causes for out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation included posterior capsule rupture during the initial cataract extraction procedure (23 eyes, 63.8%), trauma (5 eyes, 13.9%), neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser-induced dislocation (2 eyes, 5.6%), the status after vitrectomy (2 eyes, 5.6%) and unidentifiable etiology (4 eyes, 11.1%). Symptoms of these patients mainly included decrease in visual acuity (17 cases, 47.2%), blurred vision (16 cases, 44.4%), glare (1 case, 2.8%), diplopia (1 case, 2.8%), and halo (1 case, 2.8%). Intraocular lens dislocation into the posterior vitreous cavity (29 eyes, 80.5%), anterior chamber (1 eye, 2.8%) and anterior vitreous cavity (6 eyes, 16.7%) was found in this series. The foldable intraocular lenses (acrylic or silicone) were explanted from 27 eyes (75%) and rigid intraocular lenses (poly methyl methacrylate, PMMA) from 9 eyes (25%). The most common explanted intraocular lens material was single-piece acrylic (13 pieces, 36.1%), followed by 3-piece acrylic (9 pieces, 25%), single-piece PMMA (9 pieces, 25%), and 3-piece silicone (5 pieces, 13.9%). Uncorrected visual acuity postoperatively improved in 29 eyes (81%), unchanged in 4 eyes (11%), and worsened in 3 eyes (8%) in comparison to that before exchange operation (P=0.006). Best corrected visual acuity tended to improve, but the improvement was not significant (P=0.206). Complications related to lens exchange surgery were mainly intraocular lens redislocation (1 eye), retinal detachment (1 eye), vitreous hemorrhage (1 eye), and cystoid macular edema (1 eye). Conclusions Out-of-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation was mainly caused by posterior capsule rupture during the initial cataract extraction procedure and the foldable lens was the most common dislocated intraocular lens. In most cases, posterior chamber intraocular lens exchange surgery could provide satisfied final visual outcomes.
文摘Purpose: To observe the difference of the effects of PMMA and foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs) trans-sclerally fixed in pediatric eyes.
Methods: Thirty-two children (43 eyes) who had undergone trans-scleral fixation of IOL were retrospected, of whom 5 children were implanted PMMA IOL in both eyes, 6children were implanted PMMA IOL in one eye and foldable IOL in the other eye, 12children were implanted foldable IOL in one eye and 9 chilrden were implanted PMMA IOL in one eye. Mean age was 5.3 years ( range 2.5 ~ 12 years ). Twelve children had traumatic cataract and the others congenital cataract before lens extraction.
Results: Foldable group (18 eyes ): Mean follow-up was 12.1 months. Visual acuity (VA): compared with the best corrected VA before IOL fixation, postoperative best corrected VA improved in 16 eyes, remained unchanged in 2 eyes. In 14 eyes, one or two stitches were needed to seal the incision. Complications: Severe anterior chamber reaction was seen in 3 eyes. Intraocular bleeding was found in 3 eyes. IOL decentration was detected in 1 eye. Iris capture of IOL was seen in one eye. PMMA group (25 eyes ):Mean follow-up was 20.3 months. Visual acuity (VA): compared with the best corrected VA before IOL fixation, postoperative best corrected VA improved in 19 eyes,remained unchanged in 5 eyes and got worse in one eye. In 24 eyes, one to three stitches were needed to seal the incision. Complications: Severe anterior chamber reaction was seen in 5 eyes. Intraocular bleeding was found in 4 eyes. IOL decentration was seen in one eye. Iris capture of IOL was seen in 3 eyes. Intraocular pressure elevated in one eye.
Conclusion: Our study shows that trans-scleral fixation of IOL is a safe procedure in pediatric eyes. Foldable IOL showed similar effect compared with PMMA IOL in pediatric trans-scleral fixation. Eye Science 2001; 17:61 ~ 64.
文摘Current practice for intraocular lens (IOL) exchange is to cut the optic of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) prior to removing it. Great care must be taken during this maneuver to avoid a posterior capsular tear. Removing the haptics from the fibrosed capsule can also be hazardous, as it may result in zonular stress and dehiscence. A technique is described for performing foldable (one-piece acrylic) IOL removal without cutting the optic. Careful visco-dissection of the haptics with a low viscosity ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) in the fibrosed peripheral capsular tunnel avoids zonular or capsular stress. Internal wound enlargement permits foldable IOL removal in one piece, whilst preserving a self-sealing sutureless corneal wound. This technique may enhance the safety and efficacy of foldable IOL exchange.
文摘Objective: To evaluate the clinical results of implantation of foldable intraocular lens inmultiple types of cataract.Methods: This retrospective study comprised 162 eyes of 148 patients undergoingphacoemulsification and implantation of foldable intraocular lens, some of whom under-went combined pars plana vitrectomy or trabeculectomy or silicone oil removal. Theperiod of follow-up was from 3 months to 17 months.Results: There is slight reaction postoperatively in all cases. The postoperative uncorrectedvisual acuites was from 0. 05 to 1.2, patient with 0.6 or above acuity were 70.98%. Aneodymium: YAG capsulotomy was required in 5 eyes. Posterior capsule ruptured in 1eyes, and a PMMA intraocular lens was implanted in ciliary sulcus. In one eye, a lenswas removed because of recurrence of retina detachment.Conclusions: The application of foldable intraocular lens in multiple types of cataract issafe, and there is a slight postoperative reaction. less complications , and fast visualacuity recovery.
文摘AIM: To assess the safety, efficacy and predictability of the AcrySof phakic angle-supported intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon Inc., U.S.A.) for correction of high-to-extremely high myopia in adults. METHODS: In this prospective study performed in Tianjin Medical University Eye Center & College of Optometry, Tianjin, China, 25 eyes of 13 patients were implanted with AcrySof phakic angle-supported IOLs and followed for 1 year postoperatively. Preoperative manifest refractive sphere was (-12.08 +/- 2.44) diopters (D) and cylinder was (-1.35 +/- 0.62)D. Visual acuity, predictability and stability of manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), adverse events, and endothelial cell density were analyzed during 1-year of follow-up. RESULTS: After 1 year of follow-up, no eyes lost 1 line (best spectacle-corrected visual acuity)BSCVA; an uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/20 or better was achieved in 60% of eyes; 100% had an UCVA of 20/40 or better; a BSCVA of 20/30 or better was achieved by 100% of eyes; 84% had a BSCVA of 20/20 or better. The overall mean percentage change in endothelial cell density 1 year after surgery was (-0.27 +/- 3.60)%. Two eyes (8%) had increased intraocular pressure (IOP) on the day of surgery. No pupil ovalization, pupillary block, or retinal detachment events were observed. CONCLUSION: After 1 year of follow-up, the implantation of AcrySof phakic angle-supported IOL is proved to be safe, effective and predictable with minimal complications in patients with high-to-extremely high myopia. Due to the limitation of visiting time, long-term of clinical investigation is necessary to verify the safety and efficacy of this IOL.
文摘Phacoemulsification is the main gold standard for cataract operation in the developed world together with foldable intraocular lens(IOL) implantation by injection,allowing for stable wound construction and less postoperative astigmatism. It is a safe procedure with high success rate with the advancement in machines,improvement of IOL injection systems and further maturation of surgeons’ techniques. Despite the large number of operations performed every day, foldable IOL injection leading to an intra-stromal corneal track is a very rare complication. We report a case of this unusual finding in a 70-year-old gentleman who has undergone cataract operation in November 2011 in our hospital and will review on the complications related to foldable IOL injection.
