Pupil Ovalization After Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation Is Associated With Sectorial Iris Hypoperfusion

Pupil ovalization after phakic intraocular lens implantation is associated with sectorial iris hypoperfusion.

OBJECTIVE To investigate iris perfusion in patients with and without pupil ovalization after phakic intraocular lens implantation. METHODS Comparative retrospective randomized case series of 6 participants, each with a regular pupil, and 6 participants with pupil ovalization after phakic intraocular lens implantation for high myopia were included in the study. Indocyanine green angiography wa...

Change in pupil size after implantation of an iris-fixated toric phakic intraocular lens.

PURPOSE To evaluate the changes in pupil size after implantation of an iris-supported toric phakic intraocular lens (TPIOL) for correction of myopia and hyperopia with astigmatism. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz, Germany. METHODS Twenty-two myopic eyes and 9 hyperopic eyes were included in the study. The mean age of the 2 groups was 34 years and 40...

Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

Streptococcus mitis/oralis endophthalmitis management without phakic intraocular lens removal in patient with iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation

BACKGROUND To report a case of Streptococcus mitis/oralis endophthalmitis management which had developed after complicated iris-fixated phakic intraocular (pIOL) lens implantation. CASE PRESENTATION A 23-year-old-woman received pIOL implantation followed secondary intraocular intervention to lower intraocular pressure. The patient presented with severe pain and decreased visual acuity and was...

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...
