title: Bimanual microincision cataract surgery with implantation of an Akreos MI6O lens--one year follow-up.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate visual outcome and complications after bimanual microincision cataract surgery (MICS) with implantation of an Akreos MI60 intraocular lens (IOL).
  
  
  METHODS
  This study comprised 40 eyes of 22 patients after MICS. The IOL was implanted through a 1.9 mm or smaller clear corneal incision. One year after operation, uncorrected and best corrected distance visual acuity, best corrected near visual acuity (logMAR), contrast sensitivities (CS) (CSV-1000), induce astigmatism, complications and patient satisfaction were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The Akreos lens was implanted through mean incision of 1.8 + 0.01 mm. One year after surgery the mean uncorrected and the best corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA, BCDVA) and the best corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA) significantly improved (UDVA: preoperatively--0.7 +/- 0.6; postoperatively--0.04 +/- 0.17; p < 0.005; BCDVA: preoperatively 0.61 +/- 0.6; postoperatively--0.01 +/- 0.12; p < 0.001; BCNVA: preoperatively--0.56 +/- 0.42; postoperatively--0.0 +/- 0; p < 0.005). CS in photopic adaptation were within normal age-matched limits. One year after surgery, there was not significant induced astigmatism measured by vector analysis. There were no serious postoperative complications. Visual significant PCO was observed in 1 patient. All the patients were highly satisfied with the quality of the vision.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results show that MICS with Akreos MI60 lens implantation is a procedure which let receive very good visual function results, fast visual rehabilitation as well as high patients' satisfaction.
