title: Prospective study of 1 surgeon's experience with 115 cases using the Unfolder lens injection system.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the experience of 1 surgeon's first 115 cases using the Allergan Unfolder intraocular lens (IOL) injection system.
  
  
  METHODS
  Free-standing day-surgery center, Chatswood, Australia.
  
  
  METHODS
  After standard phacoemulsification, an SI-40NB IOL (Allergan) was implanted using the Unfolder. Data on complications and the success of implantation were collected prospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Ninety-four percent of patients achieved a 1 month visual acuity of 6/6 or better. Of the 13 cases with a potential complication related to the Unfolder, all achieved a visual acuity of 6/6 or better. No complication affected the eye adversely or reduced visual acuity significantly.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Implantation of SI-40NB IOLs with the Unfolder led to no serious complications and gave satisfactory visual results.
