| Titre | Butterfly Mini-Incision Intraocular Lens : One Year Results |
| Abstract Nr. | 341 |
| But | To describe the characteristics and the early clinical results of a new mini-incision single-piece acrylic intraocular lens (IOL). |
| Méthodes | In this single-surgeon prospective clinical trial, eyes from consecutive eligible patients planned for cataract surgery were included. Preoperative axial length measurements were performed with laser interferometry (IOL Master). IOL power and target ametropia were calculated with SRKT and Haigis formulae. Torsional phacoemulsification was performed in a standardized fashion with implantation of the Butterfly IOL (Morcher, GmbH) through either 2.2 or 1.8 mm clear corneal incisions. Measures included IOL-related complications, uncorrected (UCVA) and best spectacle corrected visual acuities (BSCVA), postoperative deviation from target ametropia, occurrence of dysphotopsia and YAG laser capsulotomy rate. |
| Résultats | At the time of abstract submission, 191 eyes were included in the study. The mean deviation from target ametropia was 0.33 D (SD 0.27) and 0.4 D (SD 0.28) after IOL power calculation with SRKT and Haigis formulae respectively. Postoperative refraction within 0.5 D of target ametropia was obtained by 78 % of the patients. Early results for YAG laser capsulotomy rate, stability of postoperative refraction and occurrence of dysphotopsia will be presented during the meeting. To date, there was no report of IOL-related intraoperative or postoperative complication. |
| Conclusion | Short-term results of this new mini-incision IOL suggest that this lens is safe, and achieve predictible postoperative refraction. Posterior capsule opacification and refractive stability should be evaluated in the long term. |
