purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of primary aphakic artisan–verysise intraocular lens (iol) implantation during complicated cataract surgery. methods: the study is a retrospective analysis of 49 eyes that underwent primary aphakic artisan iol implantation for complicated cataract surgery. compiled data included demographic information, visual outcomes and complications. pre- and pos...

PURPOSE To present a case of traumatic dislocation of an Ophtec Artisan phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) and an analysis of the endothelial cell count. METHODS The patient presented with blurred vision in his left eye after sustaining a brow laceration. History included uncomplicated bilateral implantation of an Artisan PIOL to correct myopia. RESULTS The brow laceration was sutured and topic...

purpose : to determine and evaluate the visual acuity (va) and refracion of correcting compound severe myopic astigmatism with the artisan toric intraocular lenses (iols) methods : in this noncontrolled clinical trial, 15 patients with severe astigmatism and at least 2.0 diopters (d) of astigmatism were enrolled. all patients met the inclusion criteria. artisan toric iol implantation was recomm...

ince its adoption in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has proved very popular with software engineers and has become the de facto standard as a visual modeling language for software engineers. However, this software focus of UML has discouraged many systems engineers from adopting it in earnest. Those who did adopt UML developed strategies to cope with its shortcomings. A common approa...

PURPOSE To evaluate the Artisan toric phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) for the correction of hyperopia and astigmatism. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and Department of Ophthalmology, Sint Truiden, Belgium. METHODS In this prospective study of 47 eyes of 28 patients with hyperopia and astigmatism, Artisan toric pIOLs were implanted between April 1...

JULY 2014 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY 55 M any techniques have been described for correcting aphakia with inadequate capsular support. The most common IOLs that are used include anterior chamber, posterior chamber, iris-fixated, and scleral-sutured IOLs; however, there is no current agreement on the ideal technique or technology. The Artisan aphakia lens (Ophtec; marketed as the Verisys...

PURPOSE We report the postoperative results of the Artisan Hyperopia phakic intraocular lens (IOL; model 203W; Ophtec, Groningen, The Netherlands). DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized trial. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-six eyes of 13 self-selected patients with refractive error ranging from +3.00 to +11.00 diopters (D). INTERVENTION Patients with hypermetropia were implanted with the Artisan Hypero...

PURPOSE To evaluate the postoperative intraocular positional stability of 1 rigid poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) model and 2 foldable polysilicone-PMMA iris-fixated pIOL models. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, Germany. METHODS One of 3 iris-fixated pIOL models (Artisan, Artiflex I, and Artiflex II, Op...

PURPOSE To study in situ the intraocular position of the Artisan iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) (model 203) (Ophtec) in phakic hyperopic eyes using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). METHODS Echograms of the anterior chamber were taken preoperatively and 24 to 317 days postoperatively in 4 eyes implanted with the Artisan IOL (power +4.0 to +6.0 diopters). The preoperative anterior chamber dept...
