Posterior Capsule Opacification and Nd-YAG rates evaluation in a large series of pseudophakic cases.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of Intraocular Lens (IOL) material and design on Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) and Neodymium-YAG (Nd-YAG) rates in eyes implanted with different Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lenses (PC IOLs) designs at the end of uncomplicated cataract surgeries.

Setting: Oculus Eye Clinic, Bucharest, Romania.

Design: Retrospective, observational study.

[Wave front aberrations -- practical conclusions in eye with Restor 3+ difractive multifocal lens].

Implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses has become a rutine nowadays, but achieving good visual results requires a perfect intraoperative technique and also an adequate preoperative selection of the patients. We analysed the wave front aberrations (spherical aberations, coma and astigmatism) in the eyes implanted with ReStor + 3 IOL, and we realized some clinical correlations of these aberations with the pupil diameter in scotopic and fotopic conditions, kappa angle, IOL centration, residual refraction errors postoperatively. Taking into account the causes of postoperative high order aberration will allow the surgeon to make a good selection of the patiens and to a higher degree of satisfaction of both sides.
