[Our experience with Acrysof Natural intraocular lens].
The purpose of this paper is to appreciate the Acrysof Natural IOL comportment during the implantation after phacoemulsification, and to evaluate the visual acuity at 2 months and 2 years postoperative.


METHODS
Prospective clinical study which comprises 48 patients( 48 eyes) with cataract operated on with phacoemulsification and implantation of Acrysof Natural IOL with the Monarch II injector and the implantation forceps.


RESULTS
The patients' age was between 4- 82 years; The IOLs were introduced with the Monarch II injector in 47 cases and with the implantation forceps in 1 case; No IOL was damaged during the implantation; The unfolding and the rotation of the IOL were possible in all cases, without incidents; The visual acuity appreciated 2 months and 2 years postoperative was good in the most of the cases; the chromophore pigment did not influence the quality of vision and the color perception.


CONCLUSIONS
The implantation of the Acrysof Natural IOL is identical with the implantation of the Acrysof single piece IOL, is easy to perform and completely atraumatic.
