a blue-filtering IOL an UV-filtering IOL

Intraocular lens implantation
Other Names:
  • a blue-filtering IOL (ENV-13, Menicon Co.Ltd, Japan)
  • an UV-filtering IOL (ES-13, Menicon Co.Ltd, Japan)

Detailed Description:

The following parameters were measured for evaluation of blood retinal barrier disruption.

  • the incidence of macular leakage by fluorescence angiography (FA)
  • the mean fluorescein concentration in the vitreous by fluorophotometry (VFP)
  • the thickness of the macula by optical coherence tomography (OCT)

Results

  • the incidence fo macular leakage decreased significantly from 24%(3 months) to 5% (12 months) in the blue-filtering IOL group (P<0.05), and was significantly lower compared with the UV-filtering IOL group at 12 months.
  • the VFP significantly decreased in both group from 3 to 12 months.
  • the OCT decreased from 175 (3 months) to 166 um (12 months) in the blue- filtering IOL group.
