BACKGROUND We present two cases of transient vacuolar changes in the anterior subcapsular space of the crystalline lens in patients after posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation. CASE PRESENTATION Implantable collamer lenses (ICL) were implanted in healthy myopic patients. Vacuolar changes developed just after the irrigating procedure through the narrow space between the ICL an...

Background Spontaneous lens absorption is rare and usually occurs in eyes with certain syndromes, hyper-mature cataracts, ocular trauma. The application of an implantable collamer (ICL) widely performed patients high myopia for refractive correction. This study reports a case spontaneous after ICL implantation. Case summary A 23-year-old man was referred complaints poor vision his left eye. pat...

PURPOSE To examine the efficacy, predictability, stability, and safety of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in eyes with high hyperopia. METHODS We analyzed the results of 24 eyes that received a posterior chamber hydrogel-collagen plate phakic IOL (Staar Collamer Implantable Contact Lens, ICL) for the correction of hyperopia with the goal of emmetropia. Mean follow...
