Because the effective optical zone size is different for some of these IOLs, the incision size alone may not be the only relevant factor for optical outcome. Postimplantation incisions sizes of 2.96 to 3.74 mm were determined with 6-mm total optic foldable IOLs using Monarch and Unfolder injector systems. However, the relationship of incision size and effective IOL optical zone differed: AR40e (Unfolder Sapphire) < MA60BM < Clariflex < AR40e (Unfolder Emerald) < SA60AT with both Monarch II B and C cartridge (greater means better relationship). Combinations (2) and (4) were not statistically significantly different, but were statistically significantly smaller in preimplantation and postimplantation incision size compared with combination (1) and were larger compared with combinations (5) and (6). The incision sizes before and after implantation for (3) were significantly smaller than all other combinations. We measured incision width before and after phacoemulsification as well as before and after IOL implantation using a Kohnen caliper. With every combination, 25 IOLs were implanted. We performed implantation of foldable IOLs with sharp optic edges and 6-mm total optic diameter with their recommended injector systems and cartridges: (1) Alcon MA60BM with Monarch II/cartridge A, (2) Alcon SA60AT with Monarch II/cartridge B, (3) Alcon SA60AT with Monarch II/cartridge C, (4) AMO AR40e with Unfolder Sapphire, (5) AMO AR40e with Unfolder Emerald, and (6) AMO Clariflex with Unfolder Silver. One hundred fifty eyes of 150 patients with cataract and without other anterior segment pathological features or previous eye surgeries. Nonrandomized, prospective clinical study.
