Purpose: To evaluate the capsular bag performance and posterior capsule opacification development of two intraocular lenses differing in material and design. Methods: This study included patients who were scheduled for cataract surgery and compared a hydrophilic intraocular lens (Super flex® intraocular lens; Rayner Surgical, Worthing, UK) with a hydrophobic intraocular lens (AcrySof® SA60AT; Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA). Follow-ups were performed 1 month and 2 years after cataract surgery, including a slit lamp examination and retroillumination images. Results: In total, 80 eyes of 80 patients were recruited. At the 1-month follow-up, 6 of 39 cases had a gap between the posterior lens capsule and intraocular lens (1 case in the hydrophilic intraocular lens group and 5 cases in the hydrophobic intraocular lens group; p = 0.348). Objective and subjective posterior capsule opacification scoring showed no statistically significant difference between both groups (p = 0.123). Conclusion: Both intraocular lens showed a good capsular bag performance and a relatively low posterior capsule opacification development within the first 2 years after surgery.
