Comparison of postoperative results after implantation of hydrophilic acrylic or hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens: Data of one-year prospective clinical study

Abstract

One-year follow-up after cataract surgery has shown a significant difference in ACO and PCO development comparing single-piece hydrophilic acrylic and single-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses. The effect of hydrophobic acrylic foldable lenses on preventing anterior and posterior capsule opacification is mainly a result of the acrylic hydrophobic biomaterial.
