Intraocular lens materials and well-being in contact to posterior capsule decrease posterior capsule opacification formation. In this study, it's aimed to evaluate the incidence of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and results of Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy in patients who implanted plate haptic silicone intraocular lenses (IOL).
One hundred and twelve eyes of 106 non-diabetic patients that had extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with phacoemulsification technique and implanted plate haptic silicone IOL were evaluated to asses the incidence of PCO and Nd: YAG capsulotomy, its probable complications and effects on visual outcome.
With an average follow up of 15.2 (6-26) months the incidence of PCO and Nd:YAG capsulotomy were found 6.25% and 5.35%, respectively. Visual acuity had increased from 3.8/10 to 7.8/10 after capsulotomy. Any serious complications was seen in early and late period after capsulotomy. In conclusion, it was detected that the rate of PCO was low in plate haptic silicone lenses.Keywords: Silicone plate haptic intraocular lenses,
