Stability of Cachet Phakic Intraocular Lens Position During 6-Months Follow-Up

Stability of Cachet Phakic Intraocular Lens Position During 6-Months Follow-Up

PURPOSE To evaluate the position stability of a phakic intraocular lens (Cachet pIOL; Alcon, Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) in the anterior chamber (AC) during a 6-months follow-up. METHODS Thirty eyes of 16 subjects underwent a Cachet pIOL implantation for the correction of high myopia from -6.50 to -16.00 D with plano targeted refraction. The position stability of the Cachet pIOL was e...

Iris-fixated toric phakic intraocular lens: Three-year follow-up.

PURPOSE To evaluate the 3-year safety, efficacy, predictability, and stability of iris-fixated toric phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation for the correction of myopia or hyperopia with astigmatism. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, and Department of Ophthalmology, University Clinic, Bochum, Germany. METHODS A prospective clinical trial of 40 e...

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...

Visian implantable contact lens versus AcrySof Cachet phakic intraocular lenses: comparison of aberrmetric profiles

PURPOSE To evaluate the in vivo aberrometric performance of two phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs); the Visian implantable contact lens (ICL) and the AcrySof Cachet PIOL. METHODS Thirty eight eyes from 29 patients with an age range of 23-32 years and more than 9 D of myopia were divided into two groups; one group of 20 eyes received a Visian ICL model V4c, another group of 18 eyes received an ...
