“…36 Our results contradict this. Other studies [37][38][39] had contrast sensitivity results with PMMA and acrylic IOLs that are similar to our results. Afsar and coauthors 38 also found no difference in visual performance between subjects with normal phakic eyes and those with PMMA IOLs.…”

“…[4][5][6] Many studies have reported excellent visual acuity results with all IOL types. 7,8 Likewise, both groups in our study had very high levels of BSCVA and did not differ significantly from age-matched phakic eyes with clear lenses (P40.05). However, with the Snellen chart it is only possible to evaluate the visual acuity and identify details under 100% contrast level.…”

Aim To evaluate the quality of visual functions after cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with different lens materials and compare the results with agematched subjects with clear phakic eyes. Methods Control and pseudophakic groups involved individuals aged between 50 and 75 years, without any accompanying ocular or systemic disease. In all, 50 eyes implanted with foldable acrylic IOLs, and 41 eyes implanted with polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) IOLs were compared with 45 phakic eyes as controls. Visual functions were evaluated for contrast sensitivity function and glare disability. The results were compared statistically using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results At high luminance levels, the difference among groups for contrast sensitivity was statistically significant for all spatial frequencies (Po0.05). Although the acrylic IOL-implanted eyes had better results at all three spatial frequencies, no significant difference existed between the two study groups for these spatial frequencies (P40.05). Glare disability scores were significantly higher in the PMMA-IOL group compared to the control and acrylic-IOL groups. Conclusion The visual quality achieved in pseudophakic eyes was not as good as in clear phakic eyes in regard to contrast sensitivity and glare. However, acrylic IOLs fared better than PMMA IOLs.

“…526 Cataract surgeons can choose from a wide variety of posterior chamber IOL styles and materials to find the appropriate lens to match their patients' needs. Intraocular lens optic size, shape, haptic configuration, optic edge design, [527][528][529][530] optic and haptic materials, [531][532][533] and chromophore content are engineered for a variety of characteristics.…”
