To evaluate the surgical handling, safety, and postoperative performance of the single-piece AcrySof SA30AL intraocular lens after cataract extraction.
Prospective study of 20 patients undergoing phacoemulsification and implantation of the AcrySof SA30AL lens between March and April 2000 in Siena, Italy.
Assessed lens folding and insertion dynamics, capsular centration, visual acuity, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and capsular opacification.
All 20 lenses were folded, inserted, and unfolded without difficulty and remained securely centered in the capsular bag with zero intraoperative or postoperative complications.
Best corrected visual acuity reached 20/40 or better in 100% of patients, with no instances of anterior capsule opacification or capsular phimosis.
One eye developed localized lens epithelial cell proliferation on the posterior capsule that did not impair visual acuity.
