Abstract
We evaluated the clinical results of 43 patients (47 eyes) who underwent cataract extraction and implantation of domestic posterior chamber intraocular lens manufactured by Universal Optics Co. (UNI(R) IOL) and could be followed up over 6 months. The mean follow-up period was 10.2 months with a range of 6 to 15 months. The results were as follows: 1. The final corrected visual acuity of 0.5 or better was noted in 41 eyes (87.2%). 2. The difference between the calculated postoperative refraction and the actual postoperative refraction was less than +/-1.00 D in 33 eyes (70.2%). 3. The corneal thickness increased 8.2% at postoperative period of 3 days and returned to preoperative level at postoperative period of 4 weeks. 4. The corneal endothelial cell density decreased 11.2% at postoperative period of 4 weeks and 12.8% at postoperative period of 6 months. 5. The early postoperative inflammatory reaction in anterior chamber and deposits on the surface of intraocular lens decreased gradually in the course of postoperative period. 6. The postoperative complications included posterior capsular opacification (7 eyes), fibrinous membrane (3 eyes), and hyphema (2 eyes). The above results showed that the visual outcome and the safety of UNI(R) IOL were favorable.
