[Thinoptix implant--the last border in modern cataract surgery. After 7 months, results of first implants in România].
OBJECTIVE
To present the rollable implant and the firsts results after 7 months of usage.


METHODS
The implant: ThinOptX Ultra Choice 001 in a rolled state can be implanted through 1.34 mm. 53 patients: 86.8% RF capsulorhexis, cold phacoemulsification, followed for 21 days-7 months. One implantation on broken posterior capsule.


RESULTS
The objective astigmometry was unchanged in 51.3% and slightly altered in the rest of cases. In most cases, both distance UCVA and BCVA was under 5/10 in the first 3 days and better than 5/10 afterwards. Unlike the "fat" lens implanted patients, most of ThinOptX implanted patients continued to read the last line even after the correction was changed with 1.5-2 D. The near UCVA in 79.2% = J3, but for a long and comfortable reading the patients needed an addition of 0 D in 32 cases, 1 D in 8 cases, 1.5 D in 6 cases, 2 D in 6 cases and 3 D in one case.


CONCLUSIONS
1. ThinOptX Ultra Choice 001 solves the greatest part of aberrations so that the quality of vision is almost identical with the one of an emmetropic eye with 4 mm pupil and better than when the pupil is 6 mm wide; 2. Both UCVA and BCVA are in good concordance with biometry data; 3. Due to pseudo-accommodation and to an increased focus deepness, the UCVA covers both distance, intermediate and--frequently--the near vision; 4. ThinOptX implant does not put pressure on capsule equator, so that it can be implanted in a broken capsular bag without the risk of break enlargement; 5. The only discomfort, rarely observed, consists in the perception of colored halos around light sources.
