ABSTRACT
We examined uncorrected visual acuity, surgically induced astigmatism and complications of 122 eyes underwent cataract surgery with implantation of the AMO Phacoflex SI-30NB. More than 80% of all cases showed uncorrected visual acuity better than 20/40. Temporal incision revealed less surgically induced astigmatism and faster rehabilitation than superior incision. Posterior capsular opacity was found in 14.8%, however Nd-YAG laser capsulotomy was performed in 2.5%. The incidences of contraction of capsular opening and displacement of intraocular lens were 4.9% and 4.1%, respectively. The range of displacement was within 1mm. Conclusively, cataract surgery with implantation of the AMO Phacoflex SI-30NB through clear corneal incision of 3.2mm revealed a low incidence of complication and provided patients rapid visual rehabilitation.
