PURPOSE To study a paired-match comparison between refractive lens exchange with pseudophakic IOL implant (RLE) and Artisan phakic IOL for high hyperopia. METHODS Nineteen eyes (12 patients, 20 to 41 years old) with an Artisan phakic IOL (Model 203: 1.00-D increment) for hyperopia from +2.75 to +9.25 D were matched to 19 eyes (15 patients, 26 to 46 yr) with hyperopia from +2.75 to +7.50 D, wh...

We report 2 cases in which an Artisan phakic intraocular lens (IOL) (Ophtec) was used to successfully treat high myopia after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). The first case was a 43-year-old man who had a manifest refraction of -13.75 +3.00 x 50 with a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/40(-2) after PKP in the left eye. Approximately 9 months after implantation of the Artisan IOL, the ma...

PURPOSE To report three cases of Artisan phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation to correct myopic refractive error after previous retinal detachment surgery treated with scleral encircling. METHODS Artisan PIOLs were implanted in a 29-year-old man with -21.0 -2.0 x 180 manifest refraction and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of 20/40 (case 1), a 28-year-old woman with BSCVA...

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of implantation of an iris-claw phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), Artisan Myopia, in Asian eyes. SETTING Minamiaoyama Eye Clinic, Tokyo, Japan. METHODS Forty-four eyes of 32 Japanese patients and 1 Korean patient with high myopia had Artisan Myopia lens implantation to correct their refractive errors. Lens models, 5/8.5 or 6/8.5 (optic diameter/o...

PURPOSE To compare refractive performance of Artisan (Ophtec, Groningen, The Netherlands) or Verisyse phakic intraocular lens and its foldable version, Artiflex (Ophtec), for the correction of moderately high myopia. DESIGN Randomized pilot study. METHODS setting: Institutional practice. patient population: Thirty-one patients with myopia that ranged from -6 to -14 diopters (D). interventio...

PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of the astigmatism correction following toric intraocular lens (IOL) and toric phakic IOL (pIOL) implantation in eyes with no previous ocular surgery and in postkeratoplasty (PKP) eyes. In addition, changes in corneal astigmatism were determined. METHODS Astigmatism was analyzed in 35 eyes with an AcrySof toric IOL, 35 eyes with an Artiflex toric pIOL, 50 eye...

PURPOSE To evaluate efficacy, predictability and safety of Artisan-Verysise intraocular lens (IOL) secondary implantation for aphakia correction. SETTING Instituto de Microcirugía Ocular, and Autonoma University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain. METHODS Uncorrected visual acuity, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), manifest refraction, endothelial cell count, and clinical complica...

PURPOSE To evaluate the change of accommodation-convergence parameters after implantation of Artisan phakic intraocular lens (PIOL). METHODS Prospective study for the patients with the Artisan PIOL implantation was performed. A total of 37 patients (3 males and 34 females) enrolled the study. Preoperatively, convergence amplitude, the stimulus accommodative convergence per unit of accommodati...
