    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of aphakic Artisan-Verysise intraocular lens (IOL) primarily implanted for complicated cataract surgery. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 49 eyes that underwent primary aphakic Artisan IOL implantation for complicated cataract surgery. Pre- and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and spherical equivalents (SE) were compared. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 68 ± 12.7 years, and the mean follow-up time was 30.7 ± 14.8 months. The mean BCVA improved significantly from 0.58 ± 0.4 at baseline to 0.44 ± 0.41 after the operation (P = 0.008). The spherical equivalent changed insignificantly from -0.13 ± 1.55 preoperatively to -0.6 ± 1.88 (P = 0.724) at the last visit. Postoperative complications were transient pigmented precipitates in five cases and raised intraocular pressure in one case. CONCLUSION: Aphakic Artisan IOLs are attractive alternatives in complicated cataract surgery without sufficient capsular bag support.
