Abstract
This study discusses comparison between two methods of foldable IOL implantation (hydro implantation versus visco implantation) and their safety especially on central endothelial cell density detected by specular microscope.
Viscosurgical devices created a revolution in progress of cataract surgery but with great advancement in cataract surgery and their corneal incisions, anterior chamber and bag stability can be achieved with other methods otherwise viscosurgical devices and the best method is hydro implantation. Hydro implantation can achieve the same effect like Visco implantation with some advantages as hydro implantation may be considered relatively faster technique as no need for irrigation and aspiration after IOL implantation like visco implantation.
Although the main cause of endothelium loss during cataract surgery is probably phacoemulsification, some exclusion and inclusion criteria can help us to study some effect of IOL implantation technique on central ECD so some similarity in choosing our cases and phacoemulsification time was very important during our study. The difference between two methods on post-operative Central endothelial cell density was insignificant.
In conclusion, hydro implantation is a safe, effective, simple and inexpensive method of IOL implantation.
