简介:目的:评价超声乳化白内障吸除联合人工晶状体植入术后人工晶状体眼的波前像差,讨论不同设计的人工晶状体对术后人工晶状体眼波前像差的影响。方法:选择年龄相关性白内障患者62例(69眼),年龄41~84(平均63.4±4.0)岁。其中男24例(28眼),女38例(41眼),右眼38例,左眼31例。随机平均分为3组,使年龄性别相匹配。其中A组植入三片式人工晶状体(ACRYsof^@MA60BM),B组植入一片式人工晶状体(ACRYsof^@SA60AT),C组植入蓝光滤过型一片式人工晶状体(ACRYsof^@SN60AT)。同一术者,同一超声乳化仪(Alcon^@INFINITIVISIONSYSTEM)和手术显微镜(CarlZeissStativS88),术中均采用角膜曲率最高经线上宽3.2mm长1.75mm的角巩膜缘隧道切口。术后1mo使用客观型波前像差仪(NidekOPD-scanARK-10000)进行波前像差检测,得出总体高阶像差的均方根(RMSh)。结果:A组三片式(ACRYsof^@MA60BM)的RMSh平均达到0.702±0.090μm,B组一片式(ACRYsof^@SA60AT)的RMSh平均达到0.529±0.067μm,C组蓝光滤过型一片式(ACRYsof^@SN60AT)的RMSh平均达到0.566±0.066μm。三组比较采用单向方差分析,5.0mm瞳孔大小时A组的总体像差值最高(P〈0.01),其余两组没有显著性差异(P=0.126)。组间差异有统计学意义。结论:人工晶状体襻的设计对超声乳化白内障吸除联合人工晶状体植入术后人工晶状体眼的像差有明显影响,但光学区染色对单色像差的影响无统计学差异。这一结果对进一步完善白内障手术以及人工晶状体材料和设计的改善提供了有意义的信息。
