不同设计人工晶状体植入术后3年后囊膜混浊的研究

目的研究不同材料和不同设计的人工晶状体植入术后3年的后囊膜混浊(posterior capsular opacification,PCO)发生率及PCO形态。方法回顾性研究132眼老年性白内障患者,由同一医生进行超声乳化联合人工晶状体(in-traocular lens,IOL)植入术,根据IOL的不同分为4组:Storz Hydroview H60M组(33眼),Silicone折叠式硅胶IOL组(29眼),AcrySof三片式IOL组(36眼)和聚甲基丙稀酸甲酯(poly-methyl methacrylate,PMMA)组(34眼)。术后3年随访患眼的最佳矫正视力(best corrected visual acuity,BCVA),扩瞳后采集PCO数码图像,分析不同IOL组PCO的形态及PCO发生率。结果各种IOL的PCO形态各异,H60M组和AcrySof组分别有10眼和15眼后囊形成皱折,而Silicone和PMMA组为片状混浊。虽然各组BCVA和BCVA下降率差异没有显著性(P>0.05),但PCO发生率差异有非常显著性,分别是AcySof组5.6%,Silicone组30.3%,H60M组31%和PMMA组55.9%。结论AcrySof疏水丙烯酸酯三片式折叠IOL,有直角边缘设计,术后3年能明显降低PCO的发生。     

Predicting posterior capsule opacification: value of early retroillumination imaging

PURPOSE: To investigate the value of early retroillumination imaging of the posterior capsule in predicting the eventual development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO). SETTING: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, and Department of Physics, King's College, London, United Kingdom. METHODS: All patients with retroillumination images of the posterior capsule taken 6 months and 2 years after uneventful phacoemulsification with in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were selected. The images were taken using the same hardware and analyzed with the same software to calculate the percentage area of the posterior capsule covered by lens epithelial cells. The percentage area of PCO with all IOL types 6 months postoperatively was correlated with that at 2 years. RESULTS: One hundred forty patients had analyzable images at 6 months and 2 years. Of these, 63 had a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) IOL (Pharmacia 812A or Storz P497UV), 33 an acrylic (Alcon AcrySof MA30 or SA30), 22 a silicone (Allergan SI-30), and 22 a hydrophilic acrylic (Bausch & Lomb Hydroview H60). The correlation of the percentage area of PCO at 6 months with that at 2 years resulted in an r value of 0.71 (P <.0001) in the entire group. The r value was 0.48 in the PMMA group and 0.86 in the foldable IOL group (P <.0001) (r value: AcrySof, 0.66; silicone, 0.82; Hydroview, 0.75). CONCLUSIONS: Retroillumination imaging of the posterior capsule 6 months after cataract surgery predicted the PCO outcome at 2 years in eyes with foldable IOLs.     

Posterior capsule opacification after implantation of CeeOn Edge 911A, PhacoFlex SI-40NB, and AcrySof MA60BM lenses: one-year results of an intraindividual comparison multicenter study

PURPOSE: To perform an intraindividual comparison of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) with 2 foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs) and a foldable acrylic IOL 1 year after in-the-bag implantation. SETTINGS: Seven German ophthalmology centers. METHODS: In an open prospective randomized multicenter study, each center intraindividually compared a high-refractive-index, sharp-edged optic silicone IOL (CeeOn Edge 911A, Pharmacia) with a high-refractive-index, round-edged optic silicone IOL (PhacoFlex SI-40NB, Allergan) or a sharp-edged optic acrylic IOL (AcrySof MA60BM, Alcon). Of 288 randomized patients, 247 had standard phacoemulsification with in-the-bag IOL implantation in both eyes by the same surgeon. One eye of each patient received a CeeOn Edge IOL and the fellow eye, an AcrySof or PhacoFlex IOL. A morphologic evaluation of PCO was performed using the Evaluation of Posterior Capsule Opacification (EPCO) system 1 to 2 weeks and 11 to 14 months after surgery. The digital pictures were evaluated by an independent investigator who was blind to the type of IOL. Intraindividual differences in EPCO scores were statistically evaluated by a 1-sided binomial test at an alpha-level of 5%. RESULTS: One year after surgery, 127 patients with the AcrySof IOL and 102 patients with the PhacoFlex IOL in the control eye were reexamined. Functional results, safety, and handling were not significantly different between the 3 IOLs. All reexamined eyes had a very low PCO grade. The EPCO values revealed less PCO in eyes with the CeeOn Edge IOL than in eyes with the AcrySof or PhacoFlex IOL, but the difference was not statistically significant. A neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy was performed in 1 eye with a CeeOn Edge IOL, 1 eye with an AcrySof IOL, and 2 eyes with a PhacoFlex IOL. CONCLUSIONS: The EPCO PCO grade was low 1 year after implantation of CeeOn Edge 911A, PhacoFlex SI-40NB, and AcrySof MA60BM IOLs; there was no statistically significant difference between the IOLs. The impact of IOL material and edge design on PCO development might be relevant in a long-term follow-up of this study.     

Posterior capsule opacification and Nd:YAG capsulotomy rates after implantation of silicone,hydrogel and soft acrylic intraocular lenses: a two-year follow-up study

PURPOSE: To compare the posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy rates associated with three different posterior chamber foldable intraocular lenses (IOL). METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated the rates of PCO and Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in 1150 eyes two years after standard phacoemulsification with a no-stitch 3.5mm clear corneal incision (CCI) and in-the-bag implantation of one of three types of IOL: 190 eyes received a one-piece round-edged hydrogel IOL (Hydroview H60M, Bausch & Lomb); 475 eyes a three-piece round-edged silicone IOL (AMO PhacoFlex SI-40NB, Allergan); 485 eyes a three-piece square-edged soft acrylic lens (AcrySof MA60MA, Alcon). RESULTS: The PCO and Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy rates were respectively 43.15% and 20.5% in the Hydroview H60M group, 27.57% and 9.68% in the AMO PhacoFlex SI-40NB group, 10.5% and 2.47% in the AcrySof MA60MA group. CONCLUSIONS: PCO and Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy rates were significantly higher in the Hydroview H60M group and significantly lower with the AcrySof MA60MA lenses, which combine a bioactive constitutive material with the square-edged optic design.     

Effect of round-edged acrylic intraocular lenses on preventing posterior capsule opacification

PURPOSE: To clarify the extent to which the adhesiveness of an acrylic material influences the formation of posterior capsule opacification (PCO). SETTING: Jinshikai Medical Foundation, Nishi Eye Hospital, Osaka, Japan. METHODS: Two types of AcrySof(R) intraocular lenses (IOLs) were prepared: round edged and tumbled. The AcrySof with round edges was implanted in 1 eye in a group of 4 rabbits and the tumbled IOL, in 1 eye in a group of 5 rabbits. In both groups, the contralateral eye received a conventional AcrySof with sharp optic edges. A histopathological examination was performed 3 weeks after surgery. RESULTS: With the round-edged AcrySof IOL, no capsular bend formed at the optic edge and abundant lens epithelial cells (LECs) migrated posteriorly. With the sharp-edged AcrySof lens, a sharp capsular bend formed and LEC migration was significantly inhibited. In eyes with a tumbled IOL, a capsular bend was created, but it was less marked than that created by the sharp-edged lens and there was slightly more LEC migration posteriorly. CONCLUSIONS: The AcrySof IOL lost its preventive effect on PCO when the optic was rounded. The effect of the AcrySof lens in preventing PCO is mainly a result of its rectangular, sharp-edged optic design. The acrylic material may play a complementary role by helping create a sharp capsular bend. Capsular bend formation is the key to the PCO preventive effect of an IOL.     

两种AcrySof折叠式人工晶体植入后囊膜混浊的临床研究

目的：观察两种设计不同的AcrySof丙烯酸酯折叠式人工晶体(intraocular lens,IOL)对晶状体后囊膜混浊(posterior capsule opacification,PCO)的影响。方法：114例(114只眼)随机分为两组(1)试验组：59例(59眼)，植入一体式AcrySof折叠式IOL。(2)对照组：55例(55眼)，植入三体式AcrySof折叠式IOL。术后半年散大瞳孔观察Soemmering环和PCD情况。结果：瞳孔区PCD，试验组4只眼(6．8％)，混浊多为轻微皱褶。对照组11只限(20％)，试验组PCD明显少于对照组，差异有显著意义(P＜0．05)。两组术后Soemmering环边界均清晰而试验组更加明显，且撵周也形成明显的细胞增殖区。结论：一体式AcrySof折叠IOL具有独特设计的襻使晶状体后囊膜皱褶大为减少，远期PCO明显下降。     

Role of posterior capsulotomy with vitrectomy and intraocular lens design and material in reducing posterior capsule opacification after pediatric cataract surgery

PURPOSE: To study the effect of primary posterior capsulotomy with anterior vitrectomy (PPC + AV) and intraocular lens (IOL) design and material on the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after pediatric cataract surgery. SETTING: Tertiary care institution in India. PATIENTS: Sixty-four eyes of 52 children ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years who had cataract extraction with IOL implantation were prospectively evaluated for a minimum postoperative period of 2 years. METHODS: Thirty-two eyes received a hydrophobic acrylic lens with a truncated, square edge and 32, a single-piece poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) lens that was not heparin surface modified. Sixteen eyes in each IOL group had PPC + AV; in the remaining 16 eyes in each group, the posterior capsule was left intact. RESULTS: Postoperatively, 25 eyes in the intact capsule group and 5 in the PPC + AV group developed PCO; the difference between groups was significant (P<.05). Of eyes with an intact capsule, 12 with an acrylic IOL and 13 with a PMMA IOL developed PCO (P>.05). In the PPC + AV group, 2 eyes with an acrylic IOL and 3 with a PMMA IOL developed PCO (P>.05). Overall, 14 eyes with an acrylic lens and 16 eyes with a PMMA lens developed PCO (P>.05). After surgery, there was a significant short-term delay in the development of PCO in the acrylic group (14 eyes; mean 6.66 months +/- 1.57 [SD]) compared to the PMMA group (16 eyes; mean 3.16 +/- 0.83 months) (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: It is the management of the posterior capsule rather than IOL design and material that influences the incidence of PCO after cataract surgery in children. Development of PCO in the postoperative period was delayed with a hydrophobic acrylic IOL with square edges compared with a PMMA lens without square edges.     

Preventing lens epithelial cell migration using intraocular lenses with sharp rectangular edges

PURPOSE: To compare the preventive effect on posterior capsule opacification (PCO) of an acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) and a silicone IOL, both with sharp rectangular optic edges. SETTING: Jinshikai Medical Foundation, Nishi Eye Hospital, Osaka, Japan. METHODS: After phacoemulsification, an acrylic IOL (AcrySof(R)) was implanted in 1 eye and a silicone IOL (CeeOn 911) in the contralateral eye of 7 rabbits, one of which was omitted from evaluation. RESULTS: The Miyake-Apple view and histopathological findings 3 weeks after surgery revealed that the lens capsule wrapped tightly around the optic edges, conforming to a distinctly sharp bend, with both IOL types in 5 rabbits. Migrating lens epithelial cells (LECs) were inhibited at the site. The AcrySof IOL had a better capsular bend effect in the histological sections, but there was no apparent difference in PCO development between the 2 IOLs. CONCLUSIONS: The CeeOn 911 silicone IOL, with sharp rectangular optic edges, showed an effect on preventing PCO that was similar to that of the AcrySof IOL. When a discontinuous capsular bend is created by an IOL with sharp optic edges, the bend may induce contact inhibition of migrating LECs regardless of the lens' material composition.
