Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate intraocular lens (IOL) rotational stability and capsular fusion process after cataract surgery with and without primary posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (PPCCC).
Methods: This study included 56 adult patients (112 eyes) with bilateral cataract undergoing phacoemulsification cataract surgery with PPCCC in 1 eye (PPCCC group) and conventional cataract surgery in the contralateral eye (NPCCC group). IOL axis orientation and fusion footprint length were measured at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year postoperatively using OPD-Scan III, while the capsular bend index (CBI) was assessed at the same timepoints using Pentacam AXL.
Results: No between-group difference was found in the absolute rotation from 1 day to 1 year (2.93 ± 1.72 vs 2.66 ± 1.61 degrees, P = .54). The absolute rotation from 1 week to 1 month in the NPCCC group was higher than that in the PPCCC group (1.65 ± 0.68 vs 1.27 ± 0.32 degrees, P = .01). At 1 month postoperatively, both fusion footprint length (9.11 ± 2.74 vs 10.67 ± 2.06 mm, P = .02) and CBI (2.92 ± 0.60 vs 3.25 ± 0.59, P = .03) were lower in the NPCCC group.
Conclusions: Cataract surgery involving PPCCC demonstrated comparable outcomes with conventional procedures regarding long-term IOL rotational stability and therefore is a promising option for adult patients with cataract scheduled for toric IOL implantation. PPCCC slightly reduces IOL rotation in the early postoperative period, which can be attributed to accelerated capsular fusion.
