Long-term evaluation of the pIOL showed a persistent ECD decrease in some eyes that was numerically larger than the annual rate expected with aging. Endothelial cell loss resulted in explantation in 3.1% of all eyes with the pIOL. Patients had no permanent vision loss. The manufacturer recommends that patients continue to be monitored and their corneal endothelium evaluated semiannually.
Portable automated keratometry is a simple keratometric technique that appeared to be as accurate as but with less variability than manual keratometry in determining corneal power for cataract surgery.
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.
