Abstract

Anterior Capsular Contraction Syndrome (ACCS) was compared in this study with cataract patients whose eyes were implanted with one of two types of acrylic lenses frequently used. Methods: The study included 125 eyes of 112 patients. All of them, phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens (IOL) implantation were successfully performed. Each patient was operated on by the same surgeon, two types of IOLs were implantation during cataract surgery: CT ASPHINA 509M [Zeiss] (IOL A), the Akreos AO [Bausch & Lomb]) (IOL B). Patients with intraoperative capsular tears and follow-up surveys less than one month were excluded. In these cases, we recorded the duration of postoperative follow-up, the presence of ACCS, along with the dimensions of the anterior capsule opening. A comparison of ACCS incidence was compared between the two lenses. Results: Although the CT ASPHINA 509M group had more patients with ACCS risk factors (P=0.009), the ASPHINA 509M group had a significantly lower incidence of ACCS than the Akreos AO group (P=0.032). Conclusion: Compared with the Akreos AO (IOL B), the CT ASPHINA 509M (IOL A) showed better anterior capsular stability and a lower incidence of ACCS.
