Purpose: To compare the optic-haptic interaction of different hydrophobic acrylic IOLs after using three preloaded injectors.

Methods: In this clinical study, we included a total of 231 eyes that underwent phacoemulsification and lens implantation procedures. We measured the characteristics of three preloaded injectors (multiSertTM [injector A], TECNIS Simplicity [injector B], and TECNIS iTec [injector C]). The analysis included IOL insertion, haptic–optic interaction, and the time of IOL delivery.

Results: The incidence of non-standard delivery performance with the leading haptic of injector A, B and C was 20%, 19% and 15%, and for problems with the trailing haptic, it was 36%, 6% and 4%. Haptic-optic adhesion occurred in 2% of cases for injector A, 44% for injector B, and 52% for injector C (P<.05). The fastest delivery into the capsular bag was for injector A (mean19.96±6.47 [SD] seconds). IOL power, we found, did not correlate with either the implantation time or haptic-optic adhesion.

Conclusions: We found different incidence of non-standard delivery performance for leading and trailing haptics in three injectors. And in some injectors, we have up to 52% haptic-optic adhesions.
