AIM: To evaluate the impact of 4 different intraocular lenses (IOLs) on posterior capsule pacification (PCO) by comparing the neodymium: yttrium -aluminum -garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy rates.METHODS: This retrospective study included 4970 eyes of 4013 cataract patients who underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation between January 2000 and January 2008 by the same surgeon at one clinic. Four different IOLs were assessed. The outcome parameter was the incidence of Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomies.RESULTS: An Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy was performed in 153 (3.07%) of the 4970 eyes. The mean follow-up time was 84mo for all of the IOL groups. The percentage of eyes developing PCO was significantly greater for the acrylic hydrophilic IOLs than for the hydrophobic 10Ls, although eyes with acrylic hydrophilic 10Ls did not require Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy as soon as eyes with acrylic hydrophobic 10Ls. There was no difference between the long-term PCO rates when 1 and 3-piece acrylic hydrophobic 10Ls were compared or when 10Ls made of the same material but with different haptic angles were compared.CONCLUSION: In this study, eyes with acrylic hydrophilic 10Ls were more likely to develop PCO than those with acrylic hydrophobic 10Ls. The lens design (1-piece versus 3-piece and varying haptic angles) did not affect the PCO rate.
