Toric phakic IOLs in keratoconus—evaluation of preoperative parameters on the outcome of phakic anterior chamber lens implantation in patients with keratoconus

Implantation of Artisan toric phakic intraocular lens following Intacs in a patient with keratoconus.

We report a 24-year-old man with bilateral keratoconus in whom Intacs (Addition Technology, Inc.) were implanted in both eyes. The procedure was followed by Artisan toric phakic intraocular lens (Ophtec) implantation to correct the residual myopic and astigmatic refractive error.

Artiflex Toric Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation in Congenital Nystagmus

CASE A 44-year-old woman with congenital nystagmus and myopic astigmatism in both eyes who was submitted to phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation. METHODS Full ophthalmologic examination including refractive status, corrected (CDVA) and uncorrected (UCVA) monocular and binocular visual acuities, ocular motility, slit-lamp evaluation, tonometry and fundoscopy before and after implantatio...

Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

Artisan phakic intraocular lens in patients with keratoconus.

PURPOSE To assess the safety, efficacy, predictability, and refractive outcome of implanting Ophtec Artisan phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) in eyes with keratoconus. METHODS In this retrospective study, 18 eyes of 11 patients diagnosed with keratoconus who underwent toric or myopic pIOL implantation were followed for 1 year postoperatively. Mean patient age was 41+/-10.97 years (range: 23 t...

Influence of anterior chamber morphometrics on endothelial cell changes after phakic intraocular lens implantation.

PURPOSE To analyze the position of iris-fixated phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and evaluate the effect of anterior chamber morphometrics on endothelial cell changes. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Academic Hospital Maastricht, The Netherlands. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, AS-OCT was used to measure the distances...
