title: [Results of a prospective clinical study of 150 implanted AcrySof lenses].
abstract: The authors present results of a prospective clinical study with 150 foldable acrylic intraocular lenses AcrySof (Alcon Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.). There were 70 women and 63 men, altogether 133 patients (150 eyes). All lenses were implanted in the bag through 3.5 mm corneal self sealing tunnel incision. Best corrected visual acuity was 6/9 or better in 119 eyes (79.3%) on the first postoperative day and in 128 eyes (85.3%) one year after surgery. Induced astigmatism was up to 0.5 D in 91 eyes (60.7%) on the first postoperative day and in 125 eyes (83.3%) six months after surgery. Posterior capsule fibrosis occurred only in 4 eyes one year after surgery and in 2 eyes Nd:YAG kapsulotomy was done. We have not seen any serious complications. Assessment of the results with AcrySof implantation has shown excellent results, especially very low rate of secondary cataract.
