Abstract EN
Purpose.
To evaluate the effect of anterior capsule polishing in patients with high myopia after cataract surgery.
Setting.
The Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Zhejiang, China.
Design.
Prospective study.
Methods.
High myopic patients with a bilateral cataract who underwent phacoemulsification with 360° anterior capsular polishing in one eye and without polishing in the contralateral eye were recruited.
The following parameters were recorded at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, including the area and diameter of the anterior capsule opening (area and D), IOL tilt and decentration, refraction, and postoperative aqueous depth (PAD).
Results.
Paired samples of 38 eyes of 19 patients were enrolled.
The area decreased significantly in both the polished group and unpolished group, whereas the diameter reduced more in the unpolished group.
The IOL tilt and decentration at 3-month and 6-month follow-up showed significant differences between two groups.
In the unpolished group, the IOL decentration firstly appeared between one-month to three-month visit, while the refraction error, PAD, and IOL tilt were significantly different between the three-month and six-month visits.
Conclusion.
360° anterior capsule polishing can effectively reduce the extent of the anterior capsule contraction and increase the stability of IOL.
The study was registered at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov, and the clinical trial accession number is NCT 03142269.
