Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and opacification – an update
Malaysian Health Technology Assessment (MaHTAS)
Record ID 32016000301
English
Authors' objectives:
To assess the safety of Intraocular Lens (IOLs) for patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Authors' recommendations:
The search strategy yielded 14 articles related to IOL opacification following cataract surgery published in 2009 to present. The studies included consist of five cross sectional studies, three case series and six case reports. None of the studies were on hydrophilic acrylic with hydrophobic coating.
Similar to the previous MaHTAS HTA report findings in 2009, this review found the incidence of IOL opacification after cataract surgery was higher in hydrophilic acrylic IOL compared to other IOL materials (hydrophobic acrylic, PMMA, or silicone) and diabetic patients appeared to be more often affected. The IOL opacification was mainly caused by deposition of calcium and phosphate.
