AB  - AbstractAim: In this study, it was aimed to compare the foldable intraocular lenses used in cataract surgeries in terms of mechanical damage to the lens as a result of two separate folding techniques applied by the scrub nurse and the formation of lens-related intraocular surgical complications during surgery.Methods: It is a comparative observational study. 150 patients (88 men, 62 women) who received surgical indication as a result of senile cataract were included in the study. The X-folding technique was applied to the first group of 75 patients, and the Y-folding technique was applied to the second group of 75 patients. Preoperative and postoperative information about the patient was collected at the end of each surgery. Chi-square test was used for statistical significance between two qualitative variables. Statistical significance was accepted as p 0.05. Results: It can be said that the effects of both lens folding techniques on the mechanical damage of the lens and the formation of lens-related intraocular surgical complications during surgery are similar.
