Comparative evaluation of plate haptic lenses with smaller and larger positioning holes

Modern cataract surgery is constantly evolving and improving in terms of lens material and design. Researchers and physicians strive to obtain better refractive correction with smaller wound size and minimizing host cell response to limit the proliferation of lens epithelial cells leading to opacification of the lens capsule. Intraocular lens material varies in water content, refractive index, and tensile strength. Intraocular lens design has undergone revisions to prohibit lens epithelial cell migration and reflection of internal and external light. The evolution of intraocular lens and extracapsular cataract surgery has lead to faster postoperative recovery and better visual outcomes.

Comparative evaluation of plate haptic lenses with smaller and larger positioning holes

Abstract: Results are similar with the two types of plate haptic lenses. The lenses with larger holes have a significantly higher posterior capsule opacification and more anterior capsulorhexis contracture, although the IOL decentring is less with these lenses.
