[Results of surgery after intraocular disc lens implantation].

PURPOSE

To evaluate the results of Medi Contur IOLs implantation, which are a slightly modified Galand disc lens.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

In the years 1994-1995, 31 eyes were operated on using modified method with horizontal, linear anterior capsule incision and intercapsular disc lens implantation. The follow-up was 6 months.

RESULTS

Mean visual acuity was 0.7-0.8. There were no complications different from those occurring in other types of IOLs. The residual anterior capsule has no negative influence on visual acuity. The shape, size and localization of the IOL in physiological place, between anterior and posterior capsule, cause the good position and stability of the lens. The risk of development of the posterior capsule folds and opacity was decreased on account of a uniform capsular tension and contact of the IOL with the posterior capsule.

CONCLUSION

The presented method of cataract extraction and IOL implantation, with all manipulations in intercapsular space is safer in comparison with others methods and residual anterior capsule decreases the risk of lens dislocation.
