Effect of phacoemulsification combined with different types of IOL implantation in age-related cataract

Abstract

AIM: To study the effects of phacoemulsification(Phaco)combined with different types of intraocular lens implantation(IOL)on age-related cataract. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on 105 elderly patients with age-related cataract who were treated with surgery in our hospital, and they were divided into group A(35 cases, 51 affected eyes), group B(35 cases, 49 affected eyes)and group C(35 cases, 52 affected eyes). All subjects were treated by IOL+Phaco, and types of IOL in the three groups were three-piece and single-piece Natural and Rayner. The preoperative and postoperative biological measurement indexes and postoperative complications were compared among the three groups. RESULTS: At 3mo after surgery, the intraocular pressure(IOP)in three groups was significantly decreased(PPPP>0.05). There were significant differences in vertical shift and horizontal shift of intraocular lens among the three groups at 1mo and 3mo after surgery(PPP>0.05).The incidence rate of posterior capsule wrinkle in group A after surgery was obviously higher than that in group B and group C(PCONCLUSION: The intraocular stability and safety of Phaco+single-piece IOL are better than those of Phaco+ three-piece IOL, but Phaco+ three-piece IOL has deeper ACD after surgery and can prevent the forward shift of IOL, and they have their own advantages and disadvantages.
