Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

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...

Biometry of phakic intraocular lens using Scheimpflug photography.

PURPOSE To examine lateral and axial positioning of phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) with iris fixation in the anterior chamber and to examine short-term stability of the IOL position. SETTING The Netherlands Opthalmic Research Institute, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. METHODS Thirty patients participated in the study. Thirty-one eyes were implanted with the 204 type myopia IOL, 14 eyes with t...
