The aim of the study was to assess the long-term results of aphakia correction by implantation of ultra thin intraocular lenses using bimanual phacoaspiration technique.
Materials and Methods. Bimanual phacoaspiration was performed on 16 eyes in 16 patients with intumescent age-related cataracts (maximal follow-up period 5 years). Eleven patients were implanted UltraChoice lenses (ThinOptX, USA), and artificial Incise crystalline lenses (B&L, USA) were used in the rest five patients.
Results. High stable functional results were noted in the long-term period, vision acuity was 1.0 and higher. All patients had no postoperative complications including induced postoperative astigmatism.
Conclusion. Implantation of ultra thin intraocular lenses in combination with bimanual cataract phacoaspiration may be recommended for a wide clinical application.
