Summary:
The authors present results of prospective clinical study of 150 foldable hydroac-
rylate intraocular lenses MemoryLens (CIBA Vision). There were 75 women
(52.82%) and 67 men (47.18%), altogether 142 patients (150 eyes). All lenses were
implanted through 3.5 mm clear-cornea tunnel incision. Best corrected visual
acuity was 6/9 or better in 119 eyes (79.3%) on the first postoperative day and in
136 eyes (90.6%) one year after surgery. Induced astigmatism was below 0.5 D in
59 eyes (39.3%) on the first postoperative day and in 140 eyes (93.3%) one year after
surgery. Capsular opacification rate was 3.3% (5 eyes) one year affter surgery. We
have not seen any serious complications.
Excellent postoperative results enable us to suggest MemoryLens for routine use
after phaco surgery.
