This study was performed to compare the incidence of posterior capsular opacity (PCO) and refractive errors between hydrophilic (ACR6D, Corneal) hydrophobic (MA60BM, AcrySof) acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) over a 3-year follow-up after phacoemulsification surgery. The patients with AcrySof implanted in one eye Corneal other were categorized as Group 1 (n=28), while those or both eyes IOLs same kind 2 (AcrySof, n=90; Corneal, n=95). Refractive evaluated at 3 months years postoperatively. visually significant PCO investigated Postoperative values not significantly different two groups. However, groups [AcrySof -0.37+/-0.43D, -0.62+/-0.58D (p=0.04); -0.38+/-0.52, -0.68+/-0.54 (p<0.01)]. 14% 32% 1, 13% 28% 2, for implants, respectively. higher than that follow-up. postoperative value showed myopic shift.
