Clinical study on the implantation of elastic open loop anterior chamber intraocular lens

Objective: To investigate the results, methods and application of the implantation of the elastic open loop anterior chamber intraocular lens(AC-IOL). Methods: The implanation of AC-IOL on the posterior capsule of lens with big rupture and great fluid vitreousness was done on 57 eyes for senile, traumatic cataract. They were implanted in 46 eyes in the first stage and 11 eyes in the second stage separately after cataract extraction . After the operation 3 to 36 months follow-up was made. The vision acuity of 43 eyes (75.4%) and post-operative complications were investigated. Results: The visual acuity of 43 eyes were =0.5. The complications such as cornea edema ,temporary ocular hypertension, fluid vitreous of anterior chamber, pupil transmutation and the clamp of IOL were found. Conclusion: The implantation of AC-IOL on the posterior capsule of lens with big rupture and great fluid vitreousness is convenient, safe and effective.
