PURPOSE To report the results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for retained lens fragments with implantation of an Artisan intraocular lens (IOL) (Ophtec) to correct aphakia. SETTING University-based referral center. METHODS In this retrospective case-controlled study, patients who had had a PPV to remove dislocated lens fragments and implantation of an Artisan IOL for pseudophakic correction...

PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility and safety of using phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) to correct high myopia by comparing 3 IOL models: Adatomed, Staar, and Artisan. SETTING La Fe University Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology, and the Fundación Oftalmológica del Mediterráneo, Valencia, Spain. METHODS In this prospective comparative study, a phakic IOL was implanted in 217 highly myopi...

Integration of three-dimensional textured scene mapping and object recognition presents many opportunities for assisted automation. We present Artisan, a software package that synthesizes these elements to form a user-friendly whole. Artisan uses a variety of 3D sensors, including laser range scanners and stereo systems, to acquire both image and range data. Artisan automatically finds the tran...

purpose: to compare visual outcomes and surgical complications of three phakic intraocular lenses (piols); artisan, artiflex and the implantable collamer lens (icl) for correction of moderate to high myopia. methods: in this historical cohort study, 112 myopic eyes that were operated between 2005 and 2010 and implanted with one of these three piols were evaluated (artisan 40 eyes, artiflex 36 e...

Implantation of iris-claw Artisan intraocular lens (IOL) is a surgical option for correction of aphakia; however, these IOLs have not been used in eyes with uveitis including Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI) due to possible risk of severe postoperative intraocular inflammation. In the case reported here, we secondarily implanted an Artisan IOL in a 28-year-old man with FHI who had aphak...

We report a 50-year-old patient who had secondary implantation of an aphakic Artisan (Ophtec) intraocular lens (IOL) that was placed vertically in the anterior chamber. The patient had had a perforating injury to the cornea that required corneal wound repair, lensectomy, and anterior vitrectomy. Because of the localized traumatic aniridia, the Artisan IOL could not be placed horizontally. Three...

Purpose: To retrospectively estimate the long-term corneal endothelial cell loss in children after perforating corneal trauma and implantation of an iris-fixated anterior-chamber intraocular lens (IOL), either the Artisan aphakia lens or the Artificial Iris Implant, and to compare this corneal endothelial cell loss to that in children who received an Artisan aphakia lens to correct aphakia afte...

Fishery-management policies based on the allocation of exclusive fishing rights, territorial use rights, and sea zoning are recurrent tools for achieving sustainability. In Chile, the 1991 Fishery and Aquaculture Law reformed division of the right to fish between the artisan and industrial subsectors, introduced sea-zoning (spacebased) strategies, and established a differential individual trans...

PURPOSE To evaluate higher-order aberrations (HOAs) after implantation of Artiflex phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Academic Hospital Maastricht, Maastricht, The Netherlands. METHODS This retrospective comparative case series comprised 27 eyes (14 patients) that had Artiflex pIOL implantation and 22 eyes (13 patients) that had Artisan pIOL implantation...

PURPOSE To assess implantation of an Artisan aphakic intraocular lens (IOL) in cases with subluxated lenses due to Marfan syndrome. METHODS Retrospective study of a small case series comprised of seven eyes (two children and three adults) with subluxated lenses due to Marfan syndrome that underwent lens extraction and Artisan aphakic IOL implantation. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity an...
