Cataract Surgery, Single-piece IOL, Microincisional IOL
Conditions
Brief summary
During the past decades, cataract surgery underwent tremendous change and modernisation resulting in today's small incision, phacoemulsification surgery and a safe technique with a short rehabilitation time for the patient. In this study the capsule performance and stability of a new one-piece microincisional hydrophobic acrylic IOL (HOYA AF-1 NY-60) should be assessed in subgroups of normal, short and long eyes. The IOL has a sharp optic edge design to inhibit PCO formation. Hypothesis: The novel haptic design is supposed to avoid tension folds in capsule bag, allow for a longer contact length of haptic with capsule equator, ensure rotational stability as well as good centration of the optic.
