Abstract
We describe two cases in which a forceps imprint developed in the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL optic while inserting these IOLs into the cartridge with straight clamping forceps. In case 1,the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL was explanted and observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM showed that the step design of ReSTOR Multifocal IOL was well maintained. In case 2, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and wavefront measurements were performed and no specific changes were found. Strong evidence does not exist that suggests the onaxis forceps imprint can significantly compromise visual acuity.

INTRODUCTION
AcrySof ReSTOR (Alcon) is the most widely used diffractive multifocal IOL(MIOL). Recent studies[15] have found that the results of both uncorrected distance visual acuity and uncorrected near visual acuity in eyes with the ReSTOR intraocular lens (IOL) were satisfactory. Its optic is composed of the same proprietary acrylic material that has been used in AcrySof lenses since 1995. This material has been shown to provide excellent clinical benefits through its high refractive index (1.55), flexibility, and biocompatibility. ReSTOR IOL has a 6.0mm diameter biconvex optic, including refractive zones for distance vision and diffractive zones for near vision. Twelve diffractive discontinuities or steps have been incorporated in the central 3.6mm region.
We describe two cases in which a forceps mark developed in the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL optic while inserting these IOLs into the cartridge with straight clamping forceps.
CASE 1
A 56yearold woman was admitted on June 25, 2006, with progressive decrease of visual acuity (VA) in both eyes that was more pronounced in the OD. At that time, bestcorrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40 (OD) and 20/30 (OS). Laser interferential VA was 20/30 (OU) evaluated with a Heine retinometer (Heine, Herrsching, Germany). Slitlamp examination revealed the presence of agerelated cataracts in both eyes. The patient underwent uneventful phacoemulsification in the right eye under topical/intracameral anesthesia (June 28, 2006), performed by one of us (C.J.). A 3.0mm scleral tunnel incision was created at 12 oclock. The size of the anterior capsulotomy was about 5.0mm. The AcrySof ReSTOR IOL (+20 diopters [D]) was loaded into the Monarch II Injector System (Alcon) with straight clamping forceps and was slowly injected into the capsular bag with no additional resistance felt. At the completion of the surgery, it was confirmed that the IOL was well centered in the capsular bag and no abnormalities were noted.
On the first postoperative day, the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) was 20/40 and the uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA) was J5. Slitlamp examination revealed a clear cornea, the pupil was dilated to 5.0mm, and the IOL was perfectly centered. There was a 3mm long imprint of the forceps observed on the lens central anterior surface where the apodized, diffractive concentric rings were located (Figure 1). We informed the patient about the imprint and recommended her to come back for a followup examination. Two weeks later, the UCDVA, bestcorrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), UCNVA, and best distancecorrected near visual acuity (BDCNVA) were 20/40, 20/30, J5, and J3, respectively. The imprint of the forceps was still present. No retinal complications, such as cystoid macular edema, were detected by fundus fluorescein angiography and fundus examination. The patient reported no optical symptoms such as glare or halo postoperatively.
Because the patient was dissatisfied with vision both at near and far, the IOL exchange was done on July 12, 2006. A new AcrySof ReSTOR lens (+20D, SA60D3, Alcon ) was folded meticulously and inserted into the capsular bag. Two days after the IOL exchange, examinations of the cornea, AC, pupil, and fundus were normal. The IOL was well centered. The UCDVA was 20/40, the UCNVA was J5. One month later, the eye was quiet. The UCDVA, BCDVA, UCNVA and BDCNVA were 20/30, 20/25, J4, and J3, respectively.
After explantation, gross photographs of the explanted lenses were taken using a camera (Canon IXUS 500) fitted to a slitlamp microscope (NIDEK 150) ( Figure 2). For surface analyses, the specimens were also observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (Electron Microscopy Center of Qingdao University of Science & Technology, China)(Figure 3,4).

CASE 2
A 72yearold man, who was a high myope, had cataract in both eyes. Laser interferential VA was 20/40 (OS) when evaluated with a Heine retinometer. Ascan ultrasound biometry showed an axial length of 25.46mm in the left eye. On August 23, 2007, uneventful phacoemulsification was performed by one of us (Sheng YH) on the left eye. A +16.0D AcrySof ReSTOR IOL was loaded into Monarch II Injector System (Alcon) with straight clamping forceps and slowly injected into the capsular bag through a 3.0mm corneal incision.
On the first day after surgery, the UCDVA was 20/40. The slitlamp examination revealed a clear cornea and the IOL was centered. An approximately 3mm imprint of the forceps was observed on the lens anterior surface (Figure 5,6). One month after operation, the BCDVA was 20/30 with 1.50DC×85 and the UCNVA was J4. Wavefront measurements (NIDEK NAVEX platform) and contrast sensitivity (PelliRobson test) were performed in the left eye and no specific changes were found (Figure 6).
DISCUSSION
The ReSTOR MIOL, fabricated in the AcrySof (Alcon) foldable acrylic material, has an apodized diffractive refractive optic with a 3.6mm center of concentric diffractive steps and within this area is a ＋4.00D addition that equates to a ＋3.20D addition at the spectacle plane. Step heights decrease smoothly from 1.3μm in the central zone to 0.2μm at the diffractive periphery (apodization). The central 3.6mm functional region is very important to gradually changing the proportion of energy directed to the two images as the pupil diameter changes. AcrySof lens is made of a copolymer of 2phenylethyl acrylate and 2phenylethyl methacrylate. Its physical characteristics include a high refractive index; great flexibility; and low elasticity. However, these IOLs are more fragile and hence more susceptible to injury than silicone and PMMA IOLs[6,7].
There are several reports, which mentioned that the forceps marks or imprints were induced on IOL optic surface while in folding or inserting process[812]. Rauz et al[8]noted visually insignificant “offaxis” scratch marks by the lensintroducing forceps that were detected in a total of 24 eyes (40.0%), most commonly on the acrylic (MA60BM) and hydrogel optics. The difference between the various biomaterials(acrylic, hydrogel, and silicone)was not significant. Gunenc
et al[10], in their series of 91 eyes that had phacoemulsification and inthebag AcrySof IOL implantation (MA30BA or MA60BA), reported that 25 eyes (27.4%) were observed folding marks away from the central visual axis and there was no difference in visual acuity or contrast sensitivity between eyes with folding marks and those without.
