Efficacy of Biometry Using Swept-source Optical Coherence Tomography for Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation for high myopia.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety and stability of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (PIOLs) implantation for the correction of high myopia. METHODS Thirty-nine eyes of twenty patients with high myopia (between -11.75 and -25.75 diopters) had a posterior chamber PIOL (Staar ICL) implanted. During 6 - 48 months' follow-up, visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP),...

Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

Refractive Outcomes of Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation for Correction of Myopia and Myopic Astigmatism

OBJECTIVES The aim was to examine efficacy and safety after Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) implantation for correction of myopia et myopic astigmatism. METHODS This prospective clinical study included 28 eyes of 16 patients which underwent implantation of ICL for correction of myopia up to -18,00 diopters (D) and myopic astigmatism up to -6,00 D in the Eye Clinic Svjetlost Sarajevo, from Jan...

Intrastromal corneal ring segments and posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation for keratoconus correction.

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and predictability of sequential implantation of Keraring intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) and an Implantable Collamer Lens phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) with corneal relaxing incisions for refractive correction of keratoconus. SETTING Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain. DESIGN Cohort study. METHODS This study compr...

Contact between 3 phakic intraocular lens models and the crystalline lens: an anterior chamber optical coherence tomography study.

Three phakic intraocular lens (IOL) models were implanted in 3 different patients. With the usual slitlamp examination, it was not possible to determine whether there was contact between the IOLs and the natural crystalline lens. Using the anterior chamber optical coherence tomography (AC OCT) scanner, direct contact between the natural crystalline lens and the 3 phakic IOLs was revealed. A dyn...
