ThinOptX vs AcrySof: Comparison of visual and Refractive Results, Contrast Sensitivity, and the Incidence of Posterior Capsule Opacification

Abstract

Long-term evaluation of the ThinOptX IOL concludes with an increased rate of PCO, a diminished resistance to the capsular contraction vs the AcrySof IOL, and a decrease in visual performance. The poor after cataract performance of this rollable lens shows that microphacoemulsification and ThinOptX IOL implantation is not as effective as conventional hacoemulsification and AcrySof IOL implantation in the long term.
