Resultados de la cirugía de catarata por facoemulsificación con lente intraocular clareon. Centro oftalmológico exilaser Cuenca junio 2020 – julio 2021

Abstract

Objective: to describe the results of cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with Clareon intraocular lens at the Exilaser Ophthalmological Center in Cuenca, from June 2020 to July 2021. Methodology: a descriptive - observational, cross-sectional study was carried out based on the review of the medical records in the digital database of the Exilaser Ophthalmological Clinic with a total of 114 patients undergoing cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with Clareon intraocular lens, evaluating the age variables , sex, origin, occupation, medical history, ophthalmological history, surgical ophthalmological history, preoperative visual acuity, preoperative corrected visual acuity, preoperative refractive cylinder, preoperative refractive sphere, postoperative visual acuity, corrected postsurgical visual acuity, postsurgical refractive cylinder, postoperative refractive sphere, trans-surgical complications and post-surgical complications; descriptive statistical techniques were used. Results: the most frequent preoperative visual acuity on the Snellen scale was 20/CD with 27.2%, the most frequent corrected preoperative visual acuity was 20/CD with 14.0%, the most frequent preoperative refractive cylinder value was 0 with 50.9%, the most frequent preoperative refractive sphere value was 0 with 28.9%, postoperative visual acuity was 20/30 with 20.2%, postoperative corrected visual acuity was 20/20 with 53 .5%, the most frequent post-surgical refractive sphere value was 0 with 40.4%, the most frequent post-surgical refractive cylinder value was 0 with 14.0%, in 99.1% they did not present trans-surgical complications, in 91.2% did not present postoperative complications. Conclusions: Cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with Clareon intraocular lens improves visual acuity and refractive sphere, with statistically significant results, with minimal transsurgical and post-surgical complications.
