Safety and efficacy of a novel hydrophobic acrylic IOL – iPure: a randomised study

The sharp posterior optic edge design, the 360° square edge and the higher adhesiveness of the hydrophobic acrylic raw material to the capsular bag of the new IOL called iPure seem to be able to minimize posterior capsule opacification (PCO). However, a major drawback of hydrophobic materials were glistenings. A recently developed acrylic IOL seems to show almost no glistening. Observing the efficacy of this new IOL regarding rotational stability, glistening, PCO, axial stability in the bag centration and tilt are the main aim of this study.
