Aqueous flare of a hydrophobic acrylic single-piece open-loop IOL with modified material surface properties

Aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of the newly modified surface of the “Polylens” IOL compared to the same IOL without a modified surface concerning flare and cell intensity in the anterior chamber as well as cellular components on the IOL surface and lens epithelial out-growth from the rhexis after cataract surgery in eyes of patients with diabetes mellitus and pseudoexfoliation syndrome which typically have a higher incidence of post-operative intra-ocular inflammation.
