[Results after planned extracapsular cataract extraction with the Klöti stripper and implantation of UV light-absorbent Simcoe lenses with a 10-degree loop tilt].
Planned ECCE remains a valuable alternative to phacoemulsification due to its protection of the endothelial cells of the cornea. In contrast to the most commonly used infusion-aspiration systems, Kloeti's vitreous stripper provides, in addition, an excellent cutting mechanism enabling the removal of hard parts of the parenchyma or capsular remnants. The aspheric shaped UV light absorbing Simcoe lenses with a 10 grade loop angle used as lens replacement over the past 2 years in 300 cases did not cause any noteworthy complications. In 94% of cases a visual acuity of at least 0.5 was achieved; no case of cystoid macular edema has been observed so far.
