Relationship Between Postoperative Intraocular Lens Shift and Postoperative Refraction Change in Cataract Surgery Using Three Different Types of Intraocular Lenses.


ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Understanding the relationship between postoperative intraocular lens (IOL) shift and refractive change is crucial for the accuracy of predicted postoperative refraction (PPR). We assessed the relationships between different IOL fixation methods, haptic designs, and several metrics.

Methods

Single-center, open-label study which included 69 eyes. We preoperatively measured the anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), axial length (AL), and PPR. AcrySof IQ (n = 27) and FineVision (n = 24) were fixed in the bag, and FEMTIS (n = 18) was fixed in capsulorhexis. At 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month postoperatively, we checked the IOL position and refraction and compared the IOL shift, refraction change, and the margin of error of the predicted PPR (PR-PPR difference). We also analyzed the correlation between postoperative and preoperative variables.

Results

FEMTIS showed the highest stability in terms of IOL shift and refraction. The in-the-bag-fixated IOLs showed a significant forward shift between 1 day and 1 week postoperatively. There were significant differences in the PR-PPR difference between the IOLs. ACD and AL showed significant positive correlations, and LT showed a significant negative correlation with IOL shift and change in PR between 1 day and 1 week, but not between 1 week and 1 month postoperatively.

Conclusion

The relationship between postoperative IOL shift and refraction change varied according to IOLs with different haptic types. Capsulorhexis fixation may be more stable than in-the-bag fixation. Furthermore, preoperative ACD, LT, and AL may be useful factors to predict IOL shift, change in PR, and to a lesser extent the degree of the margin of error in clinical practice. Our findings may improve the accuracy of PPR and refractive outcomes.
