Retinal detachment associated with posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation

Acute onset of retinal detachment after posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation

CASE REPORT A 34-year-old man with severe myopia, presented with acute visual loss in his right eye. This occurred 3 hours after a posterior chamber phakic (PCP) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, and was associated with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Retinal retachment surgery was performed without complications, with the outcome showing good anatomical and functional results during a ...

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),...

Artisan phakic intraocular lens implantation after retinal detachment surgery.

PURPOSE To report three cases of Artisan phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation to correct myopic refractive error after previous retinal detachment surgery treated with scleral encircling. METHODS Artisan PIOLs were implanted in a 29-year-old man with -21.0 -2.0 x 180 manifest refraction and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of 20/40 (case 1), a 28-year-old woman with BSCVA...

Retinal detachment following extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.

Fourteen cases of primary retinal detachment after extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation were treated by scleral buckling surgery. Retinal reattachment was achieved in 100% of the cases. All eyes had a postoperative visual acuity of 6/30 or better; in six eyes the visual acuity was 6/12 or better. We attributed our high anatomical success rate to ...
