Purpose: To evaluate the change in anterior chamber depth and refraction after AT-45 implantation
Methods: Twenty-two eyes from 22 patients were enrolled in this prospective study. After phacoemulsification, AT-45 (11 eyes) and SA60AT (11 eyes) were implanted. Clinical data included anterior chamber depth and refractive error at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months and 6 months postoperatively. The correlation between anterior chamber depth change and spherical equivalent change was also evaluated.
Results: In the AT-45 implanted group, the mean anterior chamber depth was 4.56±0.59 mm at 1 week postoperative, 4.70±0.69 mm at 1 month postoperative, 4.78±0.71 mm at 2 months postoperative and 4.76±0.69 mm at 6 months postoperative. The mean spherical equivalent was -0.53±0.48D, -0.37±0.42D, -0.27±0.47D, and -0.33±0.44D respectively. When analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, p-values of anterior chamber depth differences between the 2 groups were P=0.52 at 1 week to 1 month, P=0.32 at 1 month to 2 months, P=0.89 at 2 months to 6 months, and P=0.02 at 1 week to 6 months, showing a deeper anterior chamber in the AT-45 implanted group. P-values (Mann-Whitney U test) of spherical equivalent differences between the 2 groups were P=0.33, P=0.56, P=0.94, and P=0.19, respectively, showing more hyperopic change in the AT-45 implanted group. The correlation between anterior chamber depth change and spherical equivalent change in the AT-45 implanted group at 1 week to 6 months was not statistically significant (Spearman correlation analysis, P=0.223).
Conclusions: Anterior chamber depth deepening and associated hyperopic refractive change were observed after AT-45 implantation, especially at 1 month after the surgery.
