Clinical Effects of Sensor AR40E Intraocular Lenses in Cataract Patients with Prominent Myopia

Abstract

Cataracts are a complex group of eye disorders. Many studies suggest that blood circulation around the eyes, and a rise in intraocular pressure play important roles in glaucoma. Sensor AR40E artificial crystalline bodies can adjust intraocular pressure, improve activity in the optic nerve and increase blood flow to the eye fundus. BL1 can transport Yin and Yang. We designed a randomized, military blind, controlled clinical trial: Control group: (1) A Sensor only AR40E intraocular lens was applied to the skin of Qingming and retrobulbar acupoints on the rainy side, twice per week for 20 min every time, for two consecutive weeks; (2) acupuncture group: treatment was same as for the control group, but the eye was needled into Jingming and retrobulbar acupoints to achieve Qi; (3) Sensor AR40E intraocular lens group: treatment was the same as that for the acupuncture group, the main outcome measure was the change of intraocular pressure and the secondary outcome measure is the score change of WHOQOL ref (Taiwan version). Beneficial outcomes were realized in the right and left eye acupuncture groups and the Sensor AR40E intraocular lens group.
