Patients and Methods
20 patients, aged between 65 and 85 years,
underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery with
implantation of an Acrysof SN60WS IOL
inserted via the preloaded Acrysert injector.
3
Patients and Methods
Implantation behaviour, IOL- movement inside the
cartridge as well as haptic outline inside the
cartridge were documented . Incision size was
measured with the Osher caliper A questionaire
was added to evaluate surgeons subjective opinion
on the implantation process
4
Results
Question mark delivery of leading haptic
3.2 mm Incision size for two cases
5
Results
tucked delivery of first haptic
3.2 mm Incision size for two cases
6
Results
Incision size with AcrySert
Average room temperature 21.0o0.4oCelsius
Average incision size 3.290.21mm
Trailing haptic delivery
7
Conclusions I

• Implantation of the Acrysof SN60WS was easy
  and smooth
• No complicaions occurred, no IOL or haptic
  damage

8
Conclusions II

• Average incision size was 3.29mm
• One step implantation was always achieved
• Haptic release was done with I/A tips or
  single hook
