Abstract

Objective: To determine if an intraocular lens (IOL) with a high A constant reduced the incidence of retinal detachment following YAG laser capsulotomy. Study Design: Patients had to have a minimum of 1 year follow-up following a YAG capsulotomy. This is a retrospective analysis of a consecutive series of 254 YAG lasers. Setting: An out-patient clinical practice. Main Outcome Measures: Incidence of retinal detachment and A constant of the IOLs used for the primary cataract surgery. Results: Zero percent incidence of retinal detachment in patients with IOLs having an A constant of 118.5 or greater (103 patients) and 4.8% incidence of retinal detachment of patients having an IOL of less than 118.5 (42 patients) (P = 0.08%). Conclusions: This study shows a definite trend towards a reduced rate of retinal detachment with high A-constant IOLs. In order to achieve a 90% confidence level it is necessary to have 450 patients in each group in order to compare the data. A multi-centre study is underway to achieve this.

高a常数iol降低yag囊膜切开术后视网膜脱离的发生率
目的:探讨高a常数人工晶状体(IOL)是否能降低YAG激光囊切开术后视网膜脱离的发生率。研究设计:患者必须在YAG囊切除术后进行至少1年的随访。这是一个连续系列的254 YAG激光器的回顾性分析。单位:门诊诊所。主要观察指标:原发性白内障手术中视网膜脱离的发生率和人工晶状体的A常数。结果:A≥118.5的IOL患者(103例)视网膜脱离发生率为0%,小于118.5的IOL患者(42例)视网膜脱离发生率为4.8% (P = 0.08%)。结论:本研究显示高a常数人工晶状体有降低视网膜脱离率的明确趋势。为了达到90%的置信水平,每组需要450名患者来比较数据。为了实现这一目标,一项多中心研究正在进行中。
