Three-dimensional assessments of intraocular lens stability with high-speed swept-source optical coherence tomography
Journal of Refractive Surgery Jun 14, 2020
Ding X, Wang Q, Xiang L, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to assess the impact of intraocular lens (IOL) optic overlapping on IOL stability and to explore the connection between the capsulorhexis and IOL movement with the three-dimensional method of swept-source optical coherence tomography. They identified individuals with age-related cataracts and divided them into two groups depending on their anterior capsule and IOL optic relationship: total anterior capsule overlap (360°) and partial anterior capsule overlap (< 360°). Forty-six eyes of 34 patients were involved: total overlap group (n = 29) and partial overlap group (n = 17). The total overlap group exhibited improved centrality and stability of IOL. Movement of IOL can be driven by capsular bag contraction and fibrosis. Thus, it was shown that the postoperative IOL position and IOL performance were closely linked to the proper size of central continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis.
