Artiflex Toric Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation in Congenital Nystagmus

Artiflex Toric Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation in Congenital Nystagmus

CASE A 44-year-old woman with congenital nystagmus and myopic astigmatism in both eyes who was submitted to phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation. METHODS Full ophthalmologic examination including refractive status, corrected (CDVA) and uncorrected (UCVA) monocular and binocular visual acuities, ocular motility, slit-lamp evaluation, tonometry and fundoscopy before and after implantatio...

Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

Power vector analysis as an aid to correct a rotated Artiflex toric phakic intraocular lens

We describe the use of power vector analysis in quantifying the amount of lens rotation and assesing the subsequent correction in a case of rotated Artiflex toric phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) (Ophtec BV, Netherlands). A 33 year old patient was corrected by bilateral implantation of Artiflex toric pIOLs for high myopia and astigmatism. Two months after the surgery the patient reported worse vi...

Toric phakic intraocular lens: European multicenter study.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate safety, efficacy, predictability, stability, complications, and patient satisfaction after implantation of Artisan toric phakic intraocular lenses (TPIOLs) for the correction of myopia or hyperopia with astigmatism. DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized, comparative (self-controlled) multicenter trial. PARTICIPANTS Seventy eyes of 53 patients (mean, 35 years; range, 22-59 ...

Lens vacuoles during phakic intraocular lens implantation

Lens damage during phakic intraocular lens implantation is a major complication. A case of a patient who developed lens vacuoles during toric implantable collamer lens (ICL) removal from her right eye and insertion of a new non-toric ICL due to persistent rotation of the former is presented in this work. As this event is very uncommon when implanting phakic intraocular lenses, the performed sur...
