Fellow-eye comparison of posterior capsule opacification rates after implantation of 1CU accommodating and AcrySof MA30 monofocal intraocular lenses

Abstract: The 1CU IOL has 4 broad optic-haptic junctions where the square-edged barrier is breached; this appeared to allow passage of lens epithelial cells, leading to an increase in PCO. However, the increased PCO cannot be attributed to this alone as the 1CU is hydrophilic, a factor known to be associated with higher PCO rates.

“…The duration of follow-up ranged from 4 weeks to 3 years, with most being at least 1 year. Attrition was significantly high (O30%) in 3 16,20,23 of the 7 studies that reported dropout rates. Only 3 trials reported using more than 1 blinding method (examiner-and patient-masked).…”

“…Four of the 5 studies that mentioned PCO 14,16,19,23,24 reported increased rates in the accommodating IOL group several months postoperatively (Table 4). Of note, 1 study 17 reported anterior chamber hemorrhage and another, 15 posterior capsule shrinkage.…”

“…Despite the general interest in accommodative IOLs, the aberrant proliferation of lens epithelial cells and the resultant increase in light-scattering modifications and capsule fibrosis may become limiting factors. 12 The new focusable IOL technology will reduce the association of the IOL with the lens capsule because of the dynamic nature of this technology; consequently, the barrier effect will be minimized.…”

“…PCO-induced decrease of VA can be treated by opening the posterior lens capsule by a Nd:YAG capsulotomy 28 . After the capsulotomy, computer PCO assessment is no longer possible and these dropouts can considerably bias study results 29,30 . Buehl and associates 7 published an article in which they identified the difficult statistical problems caused by missing data attributable to Nd:YAG laser capsulotomies in long-term PCO trials, especially when a study includes many capsulotomies.…”
