Özet

The aim of this study was to evaluate the interaction between various widely used intraocular lenses (IOLs) and silicone oils of different viscosities. Four groups of IOLs, including monoblock foldable hydrophilic acrylic IOLs (Morcher, type 92s); monoblock hydrophobic acrylic IOLs (Acrysof(R)-SA60AT, Alcon); single-piece rigid polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) IOLs (Intraocular Optical International-IOI-65130) and a three-piece foldable silicone optic IOL (CeeOn(R) Edge 911A, Pharmacia UpJohn) were analyzed in vitro to determine the percentage adherence 1,000-centistoke, 1,300-centistoke or 5,000centistokes silicone oil on the IOL optic. For each IOL type, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean silicone oil coverage (MSC) of the IOL optics for the different viscosities of silicone oil. Silicone IOLs had the highest MSC percentage (79.9%) whereas hydrophilic acrylic IOLs were the least silicone-covered IOLs (7.8%) compared to the other IOL types tested in this study. It is not the concentration of silicone oil that affects silicone oil coverage. When performing small-incision cataract surgery in patients who may require silicone oil injection, foldable hydrophilic acrylic or hydrophobic acrylic lenses should be preferred over standard foldable silicone lenses.
