Intraocular lens scaffold pupilloplasty: A novel technique for pupilloplasty in phakic eyes

Experience with the Artisan phakic intraocular lens in Asian eyes.

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of implantation of an iris-claw phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), Artisan Myopia, in Asian eyes. SETTING Minamiaoyama Eye Clinic, Tokyo, Japan. METHODS Forty-four eyes of 32 Japanese patients and 1 Korean patient with high myopia had Artisan Myopia lens implantation to correct their refractive errors. Lens models, 5/8.5 or 6/8.5 (optic diameter/o...

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...

Pupilloplasty in a patient with true polycoria: a case report.

Here we report a case of surgical pupilloplasty in an adult with true polycoria. A 44-year old man was referred to our clinic with a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.5 diopters (D) in his left eye. Biomicroscopy revealed two pupils within a 2.5-mm central zone, with diameters of 1.2 and 1.1 mm. Both pupils had real iris sphincters and responded to light and chemical stimulation. Therefo...

assessment of hoffer correction factor for biometry in eyes with phakic intraocular lens implants

purpose: to assess hoffer correction factor in measurement of axial length (al) in eyes with phakic iol implants. methods: in this descriptive historical cohort study, axial length was measured by ultrasound (us) and iol master in both phakic and pseudophakic modes in 24 eyes of 14 patients with artisan intraocular lenses (iols) implanted for refractive purposes, hoffer’s suggested formula for ...
