PURPOSE To determine patient satisfaction after Artisan phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation to correct myopia. DESIGN Non-comparative prospective case series. METHODS One hundred twenty eyes of 60 patients who had undergone Artisan PIOL implantation to correct myopia were analyzed. A validated questionnaire that consisted of 66 satisfaction items were self-administered by patients 1...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability and stability of implanting a polymethylmethacrylate phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) in high myopia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of the data of patients who underwent Artisan phakic IOL implantation between 2002 and 2003 with a follow-up of at least 24 months. RESULTS An Artisan myopia lens was implanted in 60 eyes o...

Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) is the most exciting recent development in corneal transplantation. It has experienced surprisingly rapid growth in a very short period of time. One of the indications for EK is pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. However, concomitant intraocular lens (IOL) exchange, if indicated, may prove challenging. Some surgeons routinely perform IOL exchange with a scleral-fixa...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety, efficacy, predictability, and long-term stability of the Artisan Phakic Intraocular Lens (Ophtec BV, Groningen, the Netherlands) for the correction of high myopia. METHODS Prospective analysis of 26 eyes from 15 patients who underwent placement of the Artisan lens for the correction of high and extreme myopia. The mean (SD) preoperative spherical equivalent w...

PURPOSE To evaluate the implantation of Artisan/Verisyse phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) (Advanced Medical Optics) as an effective and safe method for the correction of high myopia. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. METHODS This retrospective outcomes trial examined the implantation of Artisan/Veris...

purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the artisan phakic intraocular lens (piol) for the correction of high myopia. methods: in this prospective study of 22 eyes of 14 patients with high myopia, artisan piols (ophtec bv) were implanted. uncorrected visual acuity (ucva), best corrected visual acuity (bcva), refraction, astigmatism, safety, and predictability were analyzed. results: the...

In today's increasingly heterogeneous compute landscape, there is high demand for design tools that offer seemingly contradictory features: portable programming abstractions hide underlying architectural detail, and the capability to optimise exploit features. Our meta-programming approach, Artisan, decouples application functionality from optimisation concerns address complexity of mapping hig...
