Abstract
To evaluate the visual outcomes, the incidence of glistenings and posterior capsule opacification in a series of consecutive eyes with a new blue light-filtering hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) SETTING: Service d'ophtalmologie, clinique Beausoleil, avenue de Lodève, Montpellier. Retrospective, cross-sectional study. This study included a series of 66eyes that underwent routine cataract surgery with PODEye (PhysIOL SA, Liège, Belgium) monofocal IOL implantation between May 2011and November 2011. These eyes were compared for glistenings with patients implanted with Acrysof material IOL (Alcon, Fort Worth, USA) who had a routine postoperative examination between January 2015and August 2015. The safety of the IOL was assessed by visual acuity outcomes, as well as rotational stability, centration and postoperative medication. The incidence and severity of glistenings were evaluated with the slit lamp. Glistenings and PCO were graded subjectively (0=absent; 1=moderate; 2=dense). Follow-up was 3years. The mean visual acuity after PODEye implantation was 0.98±0.05 (n=50) in decimal notation at 1year, 0.98±0.06at 1week, (n=66), 1.00±0.01at 3weeks (n=64) and 0.99±0.02at 3months (n=59). The IOL displayed stable positioning in all axes. Glistenings of grade 2were absent in the G-Free/PODEye group, whereas they were significantly present in the Acrysof group. One out of 43eyes at 3-year follow-up underwent YAG capulotomy at 37months. Sixty-six percent of eyes had no PCO (grade 0) at 3years. The PODEye IOL was safe and stable. Glistenings grade 2or more were not found with this blue light-filtering hydrophobic acrylic IOL. PCO occurrence was low at three years.
