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

چکیده
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 AcrySof Cachet PIOL. Total higher order aberrations (HOAs) root mean square, total coma, and total spherical aberrations were recorded pre and 6 weeks postoperatively to evaluate and compare the aberrometric performance of the Visian ICL and the AcrySof Cachet PIOL implanted in highly myopic patients. RESULTS Preoperatively, there were no significant differences in any studied parameters, except for preoperative spherical equivalent. Postoperatively, there were no statistically significant differences in the induction of HOAs between both PIOLs. The reduction in spherical aberrations was statistically significant in each group as well as in all study patients. CONCLUSION Both AcrySof Cachet PIOL and ICLs are effective phakic implants to correct high refractive errors. They both induce small amounts of negative spherical aberration that do not affect the total HOAs, yet reduce the positive ocular spherical aberration. This result is expected to improve the quality of vision in such patients.

The implantation of a phakic intraocular lens (IOL) for the correction of moderate or high myopia has theoretical advantages in comparison with corneal procedures and clear lens extraction, such as precision and stability not dependent on the corneal healing process, a wider range of correction, magnification of the intraocular image, and preservation of accommodation. However, these lenses hav...

The main objective of refractive surgery is improving the patient’s quality of life by decreasing their dependence on spectacles and contact lenses. In the majority of cases, we, refractive surgeons, are dealing with young healthy individuals with excellent quality of vision; they are seeking no less than excellent uncorrected visual acuity with at least the same quality of vision postoperative...
