OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term endothelial cell loss after implantation of Worst-Fechner and Baikoff ZB5M anterior chamber intraocular lenses. METHODS Jiménez-Díaz Foundation and San Carlos University Hospital, Madrid, Spain. METHODS Preoperative and serial postoperative specular microscopy was performed on 30 eyes that had a Worst-Fechner lens and on 28 eyes that had a Baikoff ZB5M lens to correct high myopia. A video specular microscope adapted to an image analysis system was used to analyze the endothelium for cell density. Follow-up was 24 months. RESULTS In the Worst-Fechner lens group, postoperative endothelial cell density was significantly lower than preoperative density at all times (P < .001). Endothelial cell loss was 7.26% at 3 months, 10.64% at 6 months, 13.00% at 12 months, and 17.60% at 24 months. In the Baikoff ZB5M lens group, postoperative cell density was also significantly lower than preoperative density at all times (P < .001). It was 7.50% at 3 months, 10.94% at 6 months, 12.33% at 12 months, and 12.30% at 24 months. Cell loss did not stabilize between 1 and 2 years after surgery in the Worst-Fechner group (P = .047). However, no additional cell loss was noted during this period in the Baikoff ZB5M group (P = .968). Endothelial cell densities in the two groups did not differ during the first year. However, 2 years after surgery, cell density in the Worst-Fechner group was significantly lower than it was in the ZB5M group (P = .048). CONCLUSIONS Endothelial cell loss during the first year was similar in eyes with Worst-Fechner and Baikoff ZB5M lenses; however, at 2 years after surgery, endothelial cell loss was higher in eyes with Worst-Fechner lenses than it was in eyes with Baikoff ZB5M lenses.

D009216 Myopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the EYE parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the RETINA when accommodation (ACCOMMODATION, OCULAR) is relaxed. This results from an overly curved CORNEA or from the eyeball being too long from front to back. It is also called nearsightedness. Nearsightedness,Myopias,Nearsightednesses
