A Prospective Observational Case Series of a Four-ring-haptic Acrylic One-piece IOL

General Hospital Linz9 enrolled

Overview

To describe biocompatibility, postoperative results and complications after implantation of the Corneal Quatrix Evolutive (Corneal, Croma, Austria) intraocular lens, a hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) with 4-haptic design and 360° sharp optic edge.

In this prospective case series the Corneal Quatrix Evolutive IOL was implanted in 14 eyes of nine patients with senile cortico-nuclear cataract. A standardized surgical technique and post-operative regimen were applied. Six months postoperatively best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction and complications (especially) posterior capsule opacification (PCO) were analysed.
