Aim: Rotational Stability of Medicontur IOLs was examined in 34
eyes of 26 patients by a technique comparing postoperative photographs.
Setting: St Imre Teaching Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology,
Budapest, Hungary. Methods: At the end of the uneventful
phacoemulsification and IOL implantation a small capsule cut was
created at the site of the IOL haptics, before the OVD was washed
out. Two tiny capsule flaps were torn off 180 degree apart, marking
the intraocular location of the haptics. The speculum and the sterile
drape were carefully removed to prevent rotation of the IOLs. Digital
slit lamp pictures were taken one day, one week, one month and 4
months after phacoemulsification. Results: No rotation was observed
at all in 28 eyes (83%), while in the other 6 cases (17%) the
rotation of the IOLs remained within 5 degree. Conclusion: Our
newly developed measuring method showed no or minimal IOL rotation
of the Medicontur IOL, which could be recommended as a
toric IOL because of its good stability during the follow up period.
