Lens epithelial cell reaction after implantation of different intraocular lens materials: two-year results of a randomized prospective trial

PURPOSE: To determine the influence of intraocular lens (IOL) material on anterior capsular opacification and membrane growth over the anterior IOL surface in patients who have undergone standardized small-incision cataract surgery and foldable IOL implantation in the capsular bag. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS: Eighty-eight cataract patients (88 eyes). METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned to receive one of four different foldable IOLs after phacoemulsification: Storz Hydroview H60M, Corneal ACR6D, AMO SI40NB, and Alcon AcrySof MA60BM. Examinations on days 7, 30, 90, 180, 360, and 720 after surgery included ophthalmologic examination, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, and photography using red reflex and focal illumination of the anterior IOL surface. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Best-corrected visual acuity was measured at each examination. In addition, the anterior capsule opacification and the membrane growth on the anterior IOL surface were graded according to a subjective method by the same researcher. RESULTS: The fibrosis of the anterior capsule was more frequently observed in the group using Corneal ACR6D and AMO SI40NB. The Hydroview and ACR6D groups showed a higher percentage of cases with membrane growth from the rhexis edge on the anterior IOL surface. AcrySof showed the lowest presence of fibrosis of the anterior capsule, and no membrane growth was noted. CONCLUSIONS: Anterior capsule opacification is an index of IOL biocompatibility. The natural location of lens epithelial cells (LECs) precludes the possibility of the IOL's design influencing the anterior capsule behavior. The local response of LECs varies according to the IOL studied. This may be related to the chemical and physical properties of the materials used in the different IOLs.     

Effect of intraocular lens haptic compressibility on the posterior lens capsule after cataract surgery

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of intraocular lens (IOL) haptic compressibility on the posterior capsule after cataract surgery. SETTING: Teaching hospital, London, United Kingdom. METHODS: In this randomized prospective study, 60 patients had standardized phacoemulsification with in-the-bag placement of a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (Storz P497UV) or hydrogel (Storz Hydroview H60M) IOL. Both IOLs had PMMA haptics of identical configuration and length. The IOL haptic compressibility was measured in air and then during incubation in saline at 37 degrees C over 1 month. Digital retroillumination imaging was performed 1, 7, 28, 90, 180, 360, and 720 days postoperatively. The presence and duration of postoperative capsule folds were recorded and correlated with the haptic compressibility measurements, lens epithelial cell (LEC) growth patterns on the posterior capsule at 6 months, and the extent of posterior capsule opacification. RESULTS: On the first postoperative day, 21 patients (88%) in the Hydroview group had posterior capsule folds that persisted in 12 patients (50%) for 2 years. Nineteen patients (68%) in the PMMA group had folds at day 1 (P =.01), with 1 patient (3%) still having folds at 1 month (P =.0002) and no patient having folds at 3 months. At 6 months, 11 patients (46%) in the Hydroview group and no patient in the PMMA group had LEC growth in the direction of the folds. The PMMA IOLs showed a greater decrease in haptic compressibility during incubation. CONCLUSIONS: Haptic compressibility should be an important consideration in IOL design. The results suggest that to avoid posterior capsule folds, the compressibility should be less than 2.5 mN.     

Optical coherence tomography assessment of capsule closure after cataract surgery

PURPOSE: To develop a technique for documenting and quantifying capsule bend formation in pseudophakic eyes, evaluate when the anterior and posterior lens capsules become completely apposed to the optic, and determine how soon a capsule bend is created at the optic edge of an intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery. SETTING: Medical University of Vienna, Department of Ophthalmology, Vienna, Austria. METHODS: This prospective study comprised 33 eyes of 33 patients with age-related cataract who were scheduled to have cataract surgery. All eyes had phacoemulsification with implantation of 1 of 3 types of open-loop IOLs: 1-piece acrylic (SA60AT, Alcon), 3-piece acrylic (AcrySof MA60BM, Alcon), or 3-piece silicone (911A, AMO). Each group included 11 eyes. One and 3 days and 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after surgery, contact between the lens capsule and IOL optic as well as capsule bend formation were evaluated using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The postoperative times at which the capsule came into contact with the IOL optic and when the capsule bend formed were determined. RESULTS: One day postoperatively, the mean distance between the anterior capsule and the IOL was 197 microm in the 1-piece acrylic IOL group, 161 microm in the 3-piece acrylic IOL group, and 220 microm in the 3-piece silicone IOL group. The posterior capsule was in contact with the IOL on the same day or earlier than the anterior capsule in 28 patients (85%). Postoperatively, the capsule bend formed at a mean of 10 days in the 1-piece acrylic group, 13 days in the 3-piece acrylic group, and 15 days in the 3-piece silicone group. The short-term reproducibility of the OCT technique was excellent (r = 0.99). CONCLUSIONS: Optical coherence tomography produced cross-sectional tomograms of capsule-IOL contact in the early postoperative period. There was no significant difference in the time to capsule bend formation between the 3 IOLs. However, capsule bend formation at the optic edge occurred earlier with the 1-piece acrylic IOL than with the 3-piece silicone IOL.     

晶状体后囊膜破裂时前囊膜夹持法人工晶状体植入术的疗效观察

目的：观察晶状体后囊膜大面积破裂时采用晶状体前囊膜夹持法行后房型人工晶状体植入术的远期疗效。方法：对因各种原因导致晶状体后囊膜大面积破裂的白内障患者48例（48只眼）,在囊外白内障摘除术中采用晶状体前囊膜夹持法一期行后房型人工晶状体植入术,术后观察患者的视力、人工晶状体的位置、晶状体囊膜的混浊情况和并发症的发生情况。术后随访时间3－60个月。结果：术后矫正视力≥0.5者39例（81．3％）;人工晶状体位置稳定;无后发性白内障、视网膜脱离、继发性青光眼和顽固性葡萄膜炎等并发症发生。结论：对于晶状体后囊膜大面积破裂的患者,在囊外白内障摘除术中采用晶状体前囊膜夹持法行后房型人工晶状体植入术,不仅操作简便,而且效果良好,建立临床推广使用。     

Position of anterior capsulorhexis and posterior capsule opacification

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the position of the anterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis influences the rate of posterior capsule opacification (PCO). METHODS: A total of 119 patients, aged 61-86 years, underwent cataract surgery with phacoemulsification performed by a single surgeon. The patients were randomized to implantation with either a silicone intraocular lens (IOL) (SI40NB, Allergan) or an AcrySof IOL (MA60BM, Alcon). Three years after surgery, the rate of PCO was analysed using the evaluation of posterior capsule opacification computer software (EPCO). The results were related to the capsulorhexis position, which was assessed with a retroillumination photograph. RESULTS: If the capsulorhexis was located partially or completely off the optics of the IOL, compared to totally on the IOL, significantly more PCO was found (p = 0.0014). When comparing within each IOL type, patients with AcrySof IOLs were found to have significantly less PCO when the capsulorhexis was totally on the optic (p = 0.0048). This difference was also significant in the silicone group (p = 0.041). CONCLUSION: A relatively small and central capsulorhexis allowing for the complete covering of the IOL optics by the rhexis edges seems to protect against PCO in cataract surgery, with both round-edged silicone IOLs and sharp-edged hydrophobic acrylic IOLs.     

Removal times for a dispersive and a cohesive ophthalmic viscosurgical device correlated with intraocular lens material

PURPOSE: To investigate the removal times of ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) with different intraocular lens (IOL) designs and materials. SETTING: Center for Research on Ocular Therapeutics and Biodevices, Department of Ophthalmology, Storm Eye Institute, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA, and Heidelberg IOL & Refractive Surgery Research Group, Department of Ophthalmology, Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany. METHODS: In a standardized laboratory setup, the Miyake-Apple posterior view video technique was used to evaluate OVD removal from capsular bags in human autopsy eyes implanted with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), silicone, and acrylic IOLs. The cohesive OVD ProVisc (sodium hyaluronate 1.0%) and the dispersive OVD Viscoat (sodium hyaluronate 3.0% and chondroitin sulfate 4.0%) were stained with fluorescein for better visualization. The open-sky preparation and an Alcon Series 20000 Legacy phaco machine with a flow rate of 25 mL/min and a vacuum setting of +500 mm Hg (maximum irrigation/aspiration) were used. The time needed for complete removal of the cohesive and dispersive OVDs with each IOL type was measured and analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The mean removal times for both OVDs were as follows: Alcon MZ60BD PMMA IOL-25.0 seconds +/- 3.7 (SD) (Viscoat), 15.9 +/- 6.9 seconds (ProVisc); Alcon AcrySof MA60BM IOL-35.5 +/- 10.0 seconds (Viscoat), 25.6 +/- 4.7 seconds (ProVisc); Chiron/Bausch & Lomb C1043 silicone IOL-46.5 +/- 10.5 seconds (Viscoat), 17.3 +/- 2.1 seconds (ProVisc); AMO SI-30 silicone IOL-33.5 +/- 3.1 seconds (Viscoat), 15.3 +/- 6.3 seconds (ProVisc); and Pharmacia 912 silicone IOL-18.3 +/- 5.8 seconds (Viscoat), 19.8 +/- 4.3 seconds (ProVisc). CONCLUSIONS: Differences in OVD removal times were detected. The removal time for the cohesive OVD correlated with the IOL material. Overall, the time needed for complete removal was significantly longer for the dispersive OVD than for the cohesive OVD.     

Speed of capsular bend formation at the optic edge of acrylic, silicone, and poly(methyl methacrylate) lenses

PURPOSE: To evaluate how and how fast a capsular bend is created clinically at the optic edge of an intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery. SETTING: Jinshikai Medical Foundation, Nishi Eye Hospital, Osaka, Japan. METHODS: Capsular bend formation was observed by slitlamp after maximum pupil dilation in 45 eyes of 45 patients with senile cataract. Fifteen eyes each received an AcrySof MA60BM acrylic (Alcon), PhacoFlex II SI-40NB silicone (Allergan), or UV26T poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (Menicon) IOL. Patients were evaluated prospectively at 1 day and 1, 2, and 4 weeks and retrospectively (15 eyes per IOL) 1 year after cataract surgery. A capsular bend index was developed to document and categorize the capsular bend formation process at the IOL optic edge. RESULTS: The anterior and posterior capsules adhered, with the latter attracted to the former. The adhesion always progressed from the periphery to the optic edge so that the posterior capsule eventually wrapped around the posterior optic edge, although not fully circumferentially in all cases. The process took place in 4 stages. Capsular bend formation was complete 1 month after surgery with the foldable IOLs (AcrySof, PhacoFlex II) but was significantly delayed with the PMMA IOL. After 1 year, the capsular wrapping was firm and fully circumferential at the optic edge with all IOL types in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: Capsular bend formation progressed in the same fashion but at significantly different speeds among the IOLs, suggesting that the process depends on IOL material and design. Fast, early capsular bend formation may be 1 reason AcrySof and PhacoFlex II IOLs prevent PCO statistically better than PMMA IOLs. The results indicate that PCO is prevented by the sharp capsular bend created by sharp optic edges and by quick bend formation.     

Posterior capsular opacification in pseudophakic eyes with a silicone or acrylic intraocular lens

PURPOSE: To compare posterior capsular opacification in eyes with IOL of two different materials--silicone or acrylic. METHODS: Eighty consecutive eyes undergoing cataract surgery were prospectively randomized in two groups, 40 eyes receiving a silicone (Sl--30NB) and 40 eyes an acrylic (Acrysof MA60BM) intraocular lens (IOL). The same surgeon performed phacoemulsification and the intraocular lens (PHACO IOL) operation in all cases. Patients were re-examined on the first postoperative day, after one week, four months, and 1-2.4 years. Seven eyes were lost to late control. RESULTS: Clinically significant posterior capsular opacification (PCO) (including eyes with capsulotomy already performed) was equally common in both groups; 25% in the silicone group and 19% in the acrylic group (p=0.53). The posterior capsule remained clear in 61% of the silicone and 76% of the acrylic IOL eyes (p=0.18). In the whole study group, 29% of eyes with and 14% without concurrent ocular diseases had significant PCO (p=0.13). In the silicone IOL group, PCO was more common in eyes with concurrent ocular diseases (44%) than eyes without other diseases (10%) (p=0.049). Eyes with acrylic IOL showed no difference in significant PCO, with or without other diseases (18% and 20%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In a consecutive series of 80 cataract eyes central PCO was equally common in eyes receiving a silicone or an acrylic IOL. In the silicone IOL group, however, significant PCO was more common if there was concurrent ocular disease, while with the acrylic IOL concurrent ocular disease did not seem to increase the risk of PCO.     

Comparison of OVD and BSS for maintaining the anterior chamber during IOL implantation

Purpose

To compare surgical results between conventional intraocular lens (IOL) implantation using an ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) and IOL implantation using a balanced salt solution (BSS) after irrigation/aspiration (I/A) of the lens cortex.

Methods

A randomized prospective study was conducted on 62 patients who underwent cataract surgery. Following completion of conventional I/A of the lens cortex, we divided patients into two groups according to whether or not BSS was used. In group A (n = 31), the anterior chamber and the capsular bag were completely filled with an OVD before IOL implantation. On the other hand, in group B (n = 31), BSS was irrigated into the anterior chamber through a previous side port during IOL implantation. Surgical results were compared between the two groups.

Results

In both groups, IOP peaked six hours after surgery. The occurrence of an IOP spike by postoperative day one was observed in six cases (6 / 31) in group A and in no cases (0 / 31) in group B, a difference that was statistically significant (p = 0.024). The values of endothelial cell density, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber inflammation, myopic shift, and posterior capsule opacification were not significantly different between the two groups.

Conclusions

Compared with the use of OVD for IOL implantation, use of BSS during IOL implantation resulted in reductions in postoperative IOP spike and OVD removal time.     

Change in refraction and intraocular lens position after cataract surgery

PURPOSE: To evaluate the differences between various intraocular lens (IOL)s in refractive change and anterior shift of the IOL after cataract surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Postoperative refractive change was analyzed 1 week to 12 months after cataract surgery using an autorefractmeter in 4 patient groups implanted with 811 C (HSM-PMMA, 83 eyes), 824 C (HSM-PMMA, 80 eyes), AQ 110 NV (3-piece silicone, 191 eyes), and MA 60 BM (3-piece acrylic, 80 eyes). Anterior-posterior shift of an IOL after surgery was studied using an anterior segment analyzer (EAS-1000) in 2 groups (824 C and AQ 110 NV). Refractive change after YAG laser posterior capsulotomy was also evaluated in 2 groups (811 C RESULTS: Only the AQ 110 NV group demonstrated statistically significant myopic change, which gradually increased until 12 months after cataract surgery, and significant anterior shift of an IOL 3 months after surgery. Significant refractive change was not observed after YAG capsulotomy. CONCLUSION: A silicone IOL (AQ 110 NV), but not HSM-PMMA or acrylic IOL, shifted anteriorly, resulting in myopic change after cataract surgery.

Scheimpflug imaging of bilateral foldable in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation assisted by a scleral-sutured capsular tension ring in Marfan's syndrome

A 35-year-old white man with bilateral high myopia, astigmatism, subluxated crystalline lenses, and incipient cataract had phacoemulsification and implantation of a hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon MA60BM) in both eyes. The subluxated capsular bag was stabilized and recentered using a scleral-fixated capsular tension ring (CTR) (type 1L, Morcher). Measured with Scheimpflug photography, the capsular bag and IOL were in a stable intraocular position during the 18-month follow-up. There were no major changes in refraction. Despite the sharp-edged IOL design, both eyes had posterior capsule opacification (PCO) 18 months after surgery that in 1 eye caused a decrease in visual acuity of more than 2 lines. High myopia and subluxated lenses may be treatable long-term with a scleral-fixated CTR and foldable IOL implantation; further evaluation of PCO is necessary.

Linear posterior capsule opacification with the AcrySof intraocular lens.

Intraoperative capsule striae are commonly seen after implantation of the AcrySof model MA60BM posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL). Although the striae generally have no visual significance and tend to disappear with remodeling of the capsule-haptic interface, we report a series of patients who developed linear posterior capsule opacification (PCO) along persistent striae. The striae appear to create a channel that allows endothelial cells to bypass the barrier created by the squared-edge design of the IOL and migrate posteriorly in a linear pattern. The observation of linear PCO along channels created by capsule striae provide strong support for the theory that a sharp-edge design creates a barrier to posterior epithelial cell migration.

Fellow-eye comparison of posterior capsule opacification rates after implantation of 1CU accommodating and AcrySof MA30 monofocal intraocular lenses

PURPOSE: To measure posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy rates between the AcrySof MA30 intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon) and the 1CU IOL (HumanOptics) in a fellow-eye comparison. SETTING: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom. METHODS: Thirty patients who had bilateral cataract surgery with a 1CU IOL prospectively randomly allocated to 1 eye and an AcrySof MA30 monofocal IOL to the other eye were examined. Best corrected distance visual acuity was recorded using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study logMAR chart. Digital retroillumination images of the posterior capsule were taken with the pupil dilated and analyzed with POCO software. RESULTS: Eyes with the 1CU IOL had significantly higher PCO rates than eyes with the MA30 IOL at all time points. By 2 years after surgery, 50% of eyes with a 1CU IOL had required Nd:YAG capsulotomy compared with no eyes with an MA30 IOL. There was no significant difference in visual acuity at any time point when post Nd:YAG capsulotomy was taken in to account. CONCLUSIONS: The 1CU IOL has 4 broad optic-haptic junctions where the square-edged barrier is breached; this appeared to allow passage of lens epithelial cells, leading to an increase in PCO. However, the increased PCO cannot be attributed to this alone as the 1CU is hydrophilic, a factor known to be associated with higher PCO rates.     

Comparison of anterior capsule contraction between 5 foldable intraocular lens models

PURPOSE: To compare anterior capsule contraction in cataract patients having implantation of 1 of 5 foldable intraocular lens (IOL) models and evaluate lens epithelial cell (LEC) adhesion to each model. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Dokkyo Medical University, Tochigi, Japan. METHODS: This study comprised 115 patients (126 eyes) without systemic or ocular complications who had phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. The eyes were randomly assigned to receive 1 of the following IOLs: acrylic MA60BM (Alcon), SA60AT (Alcon), AR40e (Advanced Medical Optics), or YA-60BBR (Hoya) or a silicone AQ310NV (Canon). Two weeks and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, the anterior capsule opening area was measured using an anterior segment analysis system (EAS-1000, Nidek) and the percentage of anterior capsule contraction was compared for each postoperative period and IOL. Cell adhesion to each IOL type was evaluated using LECs from albino rabbits. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 73.6 years +/- 5.6 (SD). Eyes with the AQ310NV and AR40e IOLs had statistically significantly greater anterior capsule contraction. The rabbit study showed statistically significantly less LEC adhesion on these 2 IOL models. CONCLUSIONS: Anterior capsule contraction was significantly greater with the AQ310NV and AR40e IOLs than with the other IOLs. Results indicate that cell adhesion to the IOL is an important factor in preventing anterior capsule contraction.     

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.     

后房型人工晶状体缝线固定术24例临床观察

目的:探讨人工晶状体睫状沟缝合固定术在白内障囊外摘除术中囊膜破裂、外伤性白内障、晶状体脱位、玻璃体切割术后等无晶状体囊膜或囊膜缺损的患眼中的应用。方法:我院2010-04/2011-04采用后房型IOL缝线固定术完成了24例24眼,均获得满意效果。其中晶状体后囊膜破损在2个象限残存后囊膜者,以此为依托将一侧人工晶状体襻置于其上,另侧襻睫状沟缝线固定,即"一点固定法"实施了7例。因严重外伤后而无晶状体后囊者,施行两侧襻睫状沟缝线固定,即"二点固定法"实施了17例。结果:术后随访4～12(平均6)mo,复查时矫正视力0.01～1.2,视力>0.6者15眼(62.5%),视力偏低者主要为角膜瘢痕或严重外伤视网膜病变所致。二期植入者术后视力均高于术前最佳矫正视力。结论:后房型IOL睫状沟缝线固定术是无晶状体囊膜及晶状体后囊膜破裂恢复视力的首选。
