To evaluate the clinical use of the unfolder in cataract surgery with foldable IOL implantation.
Forty eyes of 40 patients were analysed. In all patients cataract phacoemulsification was performed. Silicon IOL were implanted through corneal incision 2.8-3.0 mm using unfolder.
One month after surgery, in the most of patients visual acuity 0.8-1.0 was received. Rapid visual rehabilitation was obtained (about 3 weeks). Intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed in only a few cases. No one patient had lens optic damage.
The unfolder provides easy and safe IOL implantation. It is very useful in small incision surgery.
