Complicações oculares tardias após o implante de lente intraocular acrílica hidrofílica em olhos submetidos à cirurgia de catarata / Late ocular complications after hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens implantation in eyes submitted to cataract surgery

Introdução: A partir de relatos casos de opacifiação da lente intraocular acrílica hidrofílica Ioflex (Mediphacos, Belo Horizonte, Brasil), muitas vezes utilizada em mutirões de catarata para pessoas carentes, avaliamos a frequência das complicações oculares relacionadas com o implante desta lente quatro anos após a cirurgia, bem como seus efeitos a longo prazo na eficiência da cirurgia de catarata. Métodos: Foi selecionada amostra aleatória com 102 indivíduos submetidos à cirurgia de catarata com implante da lente intraocular Ioflex, em campanha comunitária no interior de Pernambuco, Brasil, quatro anos após a cirurgia. Um total de 31 pacientes não foi localizado e treze (18,3%) não compareceram para o exame. Assim, 58 pacientes (87 olhos) foram examinados. Para o cálculo da frequência da opacificação da cápsula posterior e para a avaliação da eficiência da cirurgia da catarata, foi selecionado apenas um olho de cada paciente. Os sujeitos foram submetidos a exame oftalmológico completo. Pacientes com redução da acuidade visual decorrentes das complicações pós-operatórias foram encaminhados para tratamento. O custo desses eventuais tratamentos foi estimado para análise da eficiência da cirurgia de catarata com a lente Ioflex. Para avaliação dos índices de opacificação da cápsula posterior as variáveis foram expressas por média e desvio padrão. Foi usado o teste t de Student\'s para análise de diferenças entre amostras independentes e pareadas. Resultados: Seis olhos (7%) apresentaram opacificação da lente intraocular. Nenhuma doença ou fator ambiental foi relacionado à opacificação da lente. A opacificação da cápsula posterior foi detectada em 39 (67%) olhos, sendo 24 (41,3%) olhos submetidos ao tratamento com laser para recuperação da acuidade visual. O custo total do tratamento das complicações pós-operatórias representou 6,3% do orçamento cirúrgico inicial. O custo adicional foi de $9,03 dólares por paciente para manter a boa acuidade visual. Conclusão: A lente intraocular acrílica hidrofílica Ioflex apresentou elevada frequência de complicações pós-operatórias tardias relacionadas à própria lente, reduzindo, a longo prazo, a eficácia e eficiência da cirurgia de catarata / Introduction: Based on reports of Ioflex hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens opacification (Mediphacos, Belo Horizonte, Brazil), used in cataract surgeries for underserved communities, we evaluated the ocular complications related to the intraocular lens implant, four years after surgery, as well as its effects on the visual efficiency of long-term cataract surgery. Methods: A random sample of 102 patients that underwent cataract surgery and Ioflex intraocular lens implantation, in a community campaign in the rural area from Pernambuco, Brazil, four years after surgery. A total of 31 patients could not be located and 13 (18.3%) were not present for examination. Thus, 58 patients (87 eyes) were available for examination. In order to calculate the frequency of posterior capsule opacification and to evaluate the efficiency of cataract surgery, only one eye was selected from each patient. The subjects underwent a complete ophthalmological examination. Patients with reduced visual acuity due to postoperative complications were referred for treatment. The costs of these treatments were estimated for the analysis of the efficiency of the cataract surgery with the Ioflex lens in the long term period. For the evaluation of posterior capsule opacification rates the variables were expressed by means and standard deviation. The Student\'s t test was used for analysis the differences between independent and paired samples. Results: Six eyes (7.0%) had intraocular lens opacification. No disease or environmental factor could be related to intraocular lens opacification. Posterior capsule opacification was detected in 39 (67%) eyes, and 24 (41.3%) eyes were submitted to laser treatment for visual acuity recovered. The total cost of postoperative complications treatment represented 6.3% from the initial budget of the whole patients group evaluated. The additional costs to maintain a good visual outcome was USD $9.03 per patient with Ioflex lens implantation. Conclusion: The Ioflex hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens had high rates of postoperative complications related to the intraocular lens itself, decreasing effectiveness efficiency in long-term cataract surgery

Effect of cataract surgery incision location and intraocular lens type on ocular aberrations.

Pesudovs, Konrad, Dietze, Holger H., Stewart, O., Noble, B.A., Cox, Michael J. January 2005 (has links)
No / To determine whether Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensing detects differences in optical performance in vivo between poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and foldable acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) and between clear corneal and scleral tunnel incisions and whether optical differences are manifested as differences in visual performance. SETTING: Department of Optometry, University of Bradford, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. METHODS: This study comprised 74 subjects; 17 were phakic with no ocular pathology, 20 had implantation of a Pharmacia 722C PMMA IOL through a scleral tunnel, 21 had implantation of an Alcon AcrySof IOL through a scleral tunnel, and 16 had implantation of an AcrySof IOL through a corneal incision. Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity testing, ocular optical quality measurement using Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensing, and corneal surface measurement with a videokeratoscope were performed in all cases. RESULTS: There were significant differences between groups in the total root-mean-square (RMS) wavefront aberration over a 6.0 mm pupil (F=3.91; degrees of freedom=3,70; P<.05) mediated at the 4th-order RMS, specifically spherical and tetrafoil aberrations. The PMMA-scleral group had the least aberrations and the AcrySof-corneal group the most. For a 3.5 mm diameter pupil, the total higher-order RMS wavefront aberration was not significantly different between the groups (P>.05). There were no differences between groups in corneal shape, visual acuity, or contrast sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS: Implantation of the spherical PMMA IOL led to a slight reduction in total wavefront aberration compared to phakic eyes. AcrySof IOLs induced more aberrations, especially spherical aberration. Corneal-based incisions for IOL implantation compounded this increase. Studies of the optical performance of IOLs in vivo should use wavefront sensing as the main outcome measure rather than visual measures, which are readily confounded by multiple factors.
