ABSTRACT
AlM:To compare the differences of tilt and decentration of two aspheric posterior chamber intraocular lens ( PC-lOL) implantation by ultrasonic biomicroscope ( UBM) .METHODS:Thirty-seven patients ( 45 eyes ) underwent cataract surgery were distributed to two groups randomly. Group A was implanted with Akreos AO ( Bausch &Lomb; four-haptic ) while group B implanted with ZCB00 ( Abbott Medical Optics, lnc. AMO; two-haptic) . All eyes underwent standard phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Diameter of capsulotomy was recorded. One month postoperatively, vision, best-corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) assessment, slit lamp examination, and anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) measured by UBM were performed. Tilt and decentration were measured horizontally and vertically, and total tilt and decentration were calculated by geometry method. RESULTS:No statistical difference was found in BCVA and diameter of capsulotomy between two groups ( P>0. 05). The mean ACD of group A and group B were 3. 86mm ± 0. 31mm and 4. 14mm ± 0. 31mm respectively, which showed it had statistically significant difference ( P0. 05).CONCLUSlON:Two-haptic lOL shows no difference in tilt and decentration with four-haptic lOL postoperatively.
