We report the case of a 37-year-old man with a high myopic keratoconus eye that was treated with a posterior chamber toric implantable collamer lens (ICL) in Korea. The patient had a history of contact lens intolerance and did not want to have a corneal transplantation. His uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best spectacle corrected visual acuity were 0.02 and 0.4 in the left eye, respectivel...

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...

PURPOSE To present the case of a 28-year-old man with acetazolamide-induced bilateral choroidal effusion after uneventful surgery of the second eye in delayed sequential bilateral insertion of an implantable collamer lens for hyperopia. METHODS Case report. RESULTS Surgery of the left eye was uneventful, and the implantable collamer lens was implanted 3 weeks later in the right eye. Twenty-...

We present a case of toric implantable collamer lens (TICL) spontaneous rotation in a patient with myopic astigmatism. A 23-year-old female underwent TICL implantation. Preoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/800 and 20/1200, respectively, with -7.75 -4.25 × 0° and -8.25 -5.25 × 180°. The left eye achieved an UCVA of 20/30. After 3 months of successful implantation of TICL in the l...

PURPOSE To demonstrate the methodology described by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard Subcommittee on Astigmatism Analysis reporting a standardized method of presenting astigmatism data by laser systems that reshape the cornea also applies to toric phakic intraocular lens (IOL) data. METHODS The U.S. Food and Drug Administration trial of the Visian Toric Implantable Co...
