Comparison of the effects of hydrophobic and hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses on lenticular astigmatism

Puntos clave

• Hydrophobic acrylic lenses improve visual acuity significantly compared to hydrophilic acrylic lenses in treating lenticular astigmatism.
• Optical evaluations showed a mean improvement of 0.4 logMAR units after lens implantation for hydrophobic lenses over hydrophilic lenses.
• Observational comparison across different types of intraocular lenses indicates varying impacts on lenticular astigmatism post-surgery.
• Understanding lens characteristics is crucial for optimal vision correction approaches and further exploration in clinical settings.
