The surface scattering of MA60BM and SA60AT is higher than that of AR40 and ClariFlex. The grades of surface scattering differ among the manufacturers, even with the same acrylic material.
Surface light scattering with the implanted foldable hydrophobic acrylic IOL continuously increased during the postoperative years and was a risk for decreased visual acuity.
The superiority of LASIK over PRK in short-term efficacy was not retained 4 years after surgery. The main reasons were a myopic shift and a decline in UCVA at the last follow-up in the LASIK group.
Quantitative and intraindividual comparison of surface light scattering up to 7 years postoperatively confirmed the suppression with Clareon IOLs: the slight increase suggested no risk up to 12 years after implantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
