A clinical comparison of single-piece and three-piece truncated hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses

Optical coherence tomography evaluation of posterior capsule opacification related to intraocular lens design

“…Sacu et al 37 report that implantation of a 1-piece IOL resulted in slightly more PCO than implantation of a 3-piece acrylic IOL. Wallin et al 38 report a significant increase in PCO with the SA30AL 1-piece IOL compared with the MA30BA 3-piece IOL. Other authors found similar results.…”

Influence of 360-degree enhanced optic edge design of a hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens on posterior capsule opacification

“…2,3 Experimental and clinical comparison of 1-piece IOLs and 3-piece IOLs suggests that the 1-piece design is slightly inferior to the 3-piece design; however, this has not been definitely confirmed. [22][23][24][25][26] Considering the principle of a sharp-edged design, the hypothesis had been made that with design improvements such as the enhanced 360-degree sharp edge of the C-flex IOL, the possibly weak point of the Centerflex 570H IOL in terms of PCO prevention would be improved. Vargas et al 27 showed in an animal model that the haptic-optic junction of the Centerflex IOL, at which there was no sharp edge that could induce capsule bending, seemed to be the critical structural element accounting for PCO development.…”

Dysphotopsia Outcomes Analysis of Two Truncated Acrylic 6.0-mm Intraocular Optic Lenses

“…Patients were selected according to our standard protocol that has been previously published [6, 7]. Some patients had bilateral implantation of the same IOL and some had one of each implanted.…”
