Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is being used increasingly in cataract and refractive surgery to evaluate phacomorphic lenses, dislocated intraocular lenses, misplaced haptics, sulcus-to-sulcus measurements for implantable Collamer lenses (ICLs), ciliary body cysts before ICL implantation, retained lens fragments, and anterior effusions. In a previous report, biometry apparatus grew pathogenic f...

A 27-year-old woman with bilateral high myopia had anterior chamber iris-claw phakic intraocular lens implantation in her left eye under local anesthesia and with no intraoperative complications. The preoperative slit-lamp examination was normal, and she had no relevant past medical history. On the second postoperative day, patient developed fixed, dilated mydriasis, and one month later, an IOL...

PURPOSE To compare the long-term results (9 years) of LASIK in one eye and phakic intraocular lens (implantable contact lens [ICL]) implantation in the fellow eye of the same patient. METHODS A patient with high myopia underwent LASIK with a MEL 60 excimer laser in one eye (spherical equivalent refraction -9.75 diopters [D], 5-mm optical zone with no transition zone) and phakic intraocular le...
