<br/><br/> This study aims at assessing the effect of the posterior chamber accommodative IOL ; the 1CU in achieving pseudophakic accomodation to overcome the drawbacks of monofocal IOLs after cataract extractionThis IOL works by the optic - shift concept based on contraction of the ciliary muscles on accomodation , thus allowing the patient to readIn our study this IOL was assessed for the postoperative distance and near visual acuityIt was assessed for the occurrence of post - operative complications as glare , decentration and astigmatismLong term study of the delayed complications as hinge problems , capsular bag fibrosis and post capsular opacification was also reportedThis study included 25 patients with cataractAll patients underwent phacoemulsificationThis IOL proved to be a truly accommodative IOL which allows good distance and near visual acuity but due to capsular fibrosis which occurs after sometime the accommodative effect decreases by time
