Biocompatibility of hydrophilic acrylic, hydrophobic acrylic, and silicone intraocular lenses in eyes with uveitis having cataract surgery: Long-term follow-up.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term uveal and capsular biocompatibility of 5 intraocular lenses (IOLs) in eyes with uveitic cataract.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

Design: Comparative case series.

Evaluation of anterior-segment inflammation and retinal thickness change following cataract surgery.

Purpose: To investigate the physiological retinal response to uneventful cataract surgery using conventional time-domain (TD-OCT) and current spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in combination with an assessment of the anterior chamber inflammatory reaction by laser flare/cell meter (LCFM).

Methods: Thirty-four patients scheduled for cataract surgery were included in this prospective pilot study. Retinal parameters were examined according to a standardized examination procedure using TD-OCT (Stratus; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, California, USA) and SD-OCT (Cirrus; Carl Zeiss Meditec) devices.

Uveal and capsular biocompatibility after implantation of sharp-edged hydrophilic acrylic, hydrophobic acrylic, and silicone intraocular lenses in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate the uveal and capsular biocompatibility of 3 types of sharp-edged foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs) in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX).

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

Methods: Eighty-five eyes with PEX had implantation of 1 of the following sharp-edged 3-piece IOLs: hydrophilic acrylic (Injectacryl F3000, OphthalMed), hydrophobic acrylic (AcrySof MA60MB, Alcon), or silicone (CeeOn 911, AMO).

Lens epithelial cell ongrowth: comparison of 6 types of hydrophilic intraocular lens models.

Purpose: To compare the ongrowth of lens epithelial cells (LECs) on the anterior surface of 6 different hydrophilic intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Setting: Medical University of Vienna, Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Vienna, Austria.

Methods: Six models of hydrophilic IOLs were compared in this prospective study: Visionflex A-100 (Distra Softcryl), Rayner Centerflex 570H (Rayner), Collamer CC4204BF-IOL (Staar), Injectacryl F 3000 (Distra), Hydroview H60M (Bausch & Lomb), and MemoryLens (ORC).

Uveal and capsular biocompatibility of a single-piece, sharp-edged hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens with collagen (Collamer): 1-year results.

Purpose: To analyze uveal and capsular biocompatibility 1 year following implantation of a sharp-edged, hydrophilic, collagen-containing posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL).

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, University of Vienna Medical School, Vienna, Austria.

Method: In a prospective study, a Collamer CC4204BF IOL was implanted in 30 eyes of patients with senile cataract.
