ASCRS/ESCRS Survey on Foldable IOLs Requiring Explantation or Secondary Intervention 2005 Update
Nick Mamalis, MDProfessor of Ophthalmology John A. Moran Eye Center University of Utah, Salt Lake City
Co-Authors Brian Haugen, MD Jonathan Haymore, MD Natalya Romaniv, MD Ophthalmic Research Fellows
Materials and Methods • 8th annual survey of ASCRS/ESCRS members • Foldable IOL complications/explantations - 2005 • Intermountain Ocular Research Center - University of Utah • Cataract Clinical Committee
Materials and Methods • Signs and symptoms/complaints • Pre-op visual acuity • Complications requiring IOL removal/exchange/secondary intervention
Materials and MethodsFoldable IOL Designs • One-piece, plate-type lenses • One-piece lenses with haptics • Three-piece lenses • Multifocal lenses
Materials and MethodsFoldable IOL Materials • Silicone • Acrylic (hydrophobic) • Hydrogel (hydrophilic acrylic) • Collamer
ComplicationsThree-Piece Silicone IOL • Dislocation / decentration seen most commonly
ComplicationsOne-Piece (Plate Silicone) • Dislocation / decentration
ComplicationsThree-Piece Acrylic • Dislocation / decentration • Incorrect lens power • Glare/optical aberrations
ComplicationsOne-Piece with Haptics Acrylic • Incorrect lens power • Dislocation / decentration
ComplicationsThree-Piece Hydrogel • Calcification / opacification • Damaged IOL
ComplicationsOne-Piece with Haptics Hydrogel • Calcification / opacification
ComplicationsMultifocal Silicone • Glare / optical aberrations • Incorrect lens power
DiscussionFoldable IOL Complications • Dislocation/decentration overall most common reason for IOL explantation • Followed by incorrect lens power • Damaged IOL
DiscussionFoldable IOL Complications • Continuing trends in complications over eight years • Several differences in complications over this period of time
DiscussionFoldable IOL Complications • Calcification of hydrophilic acrylic (hydrogel) IOLs the next most common reason for explantation • Calcification on both the lens surface as well as substance of the lens
DiscussionFoldable IOL Complications • Glare/optical aberration continues to be seen as a reason for IOL removal • Other reasons such as damaged IOL during insertion seen less frequently
ConclusionsAvoidance of Complications Using Foldable IOLs • Good surgical technique essential • CCC with capsular bag fixation of the IOL
ConclusionsAvoidance of Complications UsingFoldable IOLs • Need for accurate IOL measurements • Necessity for use of new technologies for axial length measurements and calculations
ConclusionsAvoidance of Complications UsingFoldable IOLs • Ongoing vigilance regarding newer IOL materials • Hydrophilic acrylic (hydrogel) IOLs
ConclusionsASCRS/ESCRS Survey • Ongoing yearly data collection • Forms available by ASCRS/ESCRS fax on demand-web site • Please submit survey forms on explanted foldable IOLs
