Objective: To analyze the results of bimanual microphacoemulsification combined with rollable intraocular lens (IOL), to evaluate the feasibility and safety of this procedure and to compare the clinical results of two different types of rollable intraocular lens.
Methods: Thirty-five cases (35 eyes) were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included 15 eyes used Thinoptx IOL, Group 2 included 20 eyes used Acri. Smart IOL. The data included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) (pre-, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month post-operatively); corneal curvature (pre- and 1 month post-operatively); target refraction and post-operation refraction (1 month after the operation).
Results: A significant difference was found between pre-operative and 1 month post-operative BCVA (P<0.01). No significant different was found between pre-operative and post-operative IOP, astigmatism, target refraction and refraction. There was no significant difference in pre-operative and post-operative astigmatism, target refraction and post-operation 1-month refraction between these two groups.
Conclusions: Bimanual microphacoemulsification with rollable intraocular lens (IOL) is a feasible and safe procedure for the cataract surgery.
