Abstract:

AIM: To evaluate visual acuity outcomes after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration(wAMD).

METHODS: We reviewed the medical documents of the patients who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation surgery during June 2013 and January 2016. Totally 61 eyes of 48 patients with wAMD in the stable stage were recruited. The pre- and post-operative vision of selected cases were recorded and compared.

RESULTS: After phacoemulsification and intralocular lens implantation, visual acuity changes were as follows: 49 eyes improved, 11 eyes retained, and 1 eye deteriorated. Visual acuity improvement after cataract surger were statistically significant(P<0.001). Visual acuity improvement was not related to age.

CONCLUSION: Visual acuity improved in patients with wet AMD after phacoemulcification and intraocular lens implantation.
