Objective: To compare post operative visual acuity (VA), contrast sensitivity, posterior capsular opacification (PCO), and optic decentration between the blue light-filtering Hoya AF-1(UY) and the AcrySof^® Natural SN60AT intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Methods: In a prospective, randomized, comparative study 25 patients with bilateral cataracts were included to receive either a Hoya AF-1(UY) or an AcrySof^® Natural SN60AT in the first eye and the other IOL in the second eye at the earliest one week later. Best corrected VA and photopic contrast sensitivity (Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity chart) were measured at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Digital retroillumination images were taken at each visit for PCO and optic decentration analysis.
Results: Present results are as follows. Mean best corrected VA after 6 months was 0.91 in the Hoya eye and 0.80 in the AcrySof^® eye (p=0.43). There were no statistically significant differences in contrast sensitivity scores, PCO rates, and optic decentration between IOLs at any of the postoperative evaluation time-points.
Conclusions: The postoperative visual performance of the blue light-filtering Hoya AF-1(UY) was comparable with that of the AcrySof^® Natural SN60AT IOL.
