Five-Year Incidence of Nd:YAG Capsulotomy After Cataract Surgery with Different Single-Piece Monofocal Intraocular Lenses: A Follow-Up Study of 3955 Eyes

Purpose: To estimate the incidence of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy up to five years after cataract surgery with different single-piece acrylic monofocal IOLs in a Spanish cohort. Patients and Methods: Data were extracted from electronic medical records. Eligible...

Sumario:Purpose: To estimate the incidence of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy up to five years after cataract surgery with different single-piece acrylic monofocal IOLs in a Spanish cohort. Patients and Methods: Data were extracted from electronic medical records. Eligible participants were aged >= 65, had cataract and Zeiss Asphina), and more than six months baseline data. Participants were followed up to five years from surgery and up to six months from Nd:YAG. The incidence of Nd:YAG was compared between the IOLs and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify predictors of Nd:YAG incidence at five-years after cataract surgery. Results: The initial cohort included 9545 patients with 14,519 eyes (53% female, average age 75 years). Of those, 3955 eyes were available for analysis five years after cataract surgery. Throughout the five years post-surgery, Nd:YAG incidence was consistently lower with Alcon Acrysof IOLs than the other IOLs. At five years the Nd:YAG incidence rate for Alcon Acrysof was 8.8%. In comparison, the incidence was 47.4% for AJL LLASY60 (OR = 9.54, 95% CI [6.57, 13.84]), 44.3% for Zeiss Asphina (OR = 8.35, 95% CI [5.85, 11.94]) and 44.0% for IOL Tech Stabibag (OR = 8.02, 95% CI [4.60, 13.84]). Conclusion: Alcon AcrySof IOLs have a consistently lower risk of Nd:YAG incidence over a long follow-up period after cataract surgery, highlighting the importance of IOL choice for patients' long-term outcomes.
