Clinical results of AcrySof intraocular lens implantation.
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the clinical results of AcrySof intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.


METHODS
San Juan University Hospital, Alicante, Spain.


METHODS
This retrospective study comprised 100 patients with cataract 81 without previous eye pathology and 19 with previous eye pathology (i.e., diabetes, traumatic cataract, central corneal leukoma, glaucoma). Phacoemulsification technique depended on the type of cataract. Mean follow-up was 9 months.


RESULTS
Best corrected visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 11.52% of patients with preoperative eye pathology and in 100% of those without pathology.


CONCLUSIONS
Implantation of AcrySof IOLs did not result in complications or adverse reactions in our series, indicating that its use is safe in small incision cataract surgery.
