AIM: To study the pseudo-accommodation in pseudophakic eyes after the surgery of coaxial 1.8mm microincision phacoemulsiflcation and implantation of Akreos MI60 intraocular lens(IOL).

METHODS: In the retrospective study, 22 eyes of 19 patients\〖mean age 63.77 years ± 2.98(SD)(range 60 to 69 years)\〗 had phacoemulsification and Akreos MI60 IOL implantation. After 3 to 6 months, far and near vision and the best corrected vision were examined. Pseudophakic accommodation was also measured by subjective techniques(defocus)and objective techniques \〖change in the anterior chamber depth(ACD)before and after using pilocarpine 20g/L eye drops\〗.

RESULTS: After 3 to 6 months, the mean far vision was 0.81±0.11, the mean best corrected far vision was 0.91±0.09; the mean near vision was 0.62±0.10, the mean best corrected near vision was 0.85±0.11; the mean accommodative range was(2.55±0.24)D by subjective techniques and(0.72±0.13)D by objective techniques.

CONCLUSION: The pseudophakic eyes implanted with Akreos MI60 possess pseudophakic have accommodation in the early days. The accommodative range measured by subjective techniques is bigger than by objective techniques.
