This 30-year-old patient had a high myopia and with-the-rule astigmatism. Her best-corrected-visual-acuity was 20/20 with -6.75 -2.50 x 10. cornea an asymmetric bowtie, we were concerned laser vision correction. We then decided to implant toric phakic intraocular lens (Visian ICL® toric) and, 1 week after surgery, she J1 uncorrected. Note the central anterior vaulting of away from crystalline l...

purpose: to assess hoffer correction factor in measurement of axial length (al) in eyes with phakic iol implants. methods: in this descriptive historical cohort study, axial length was measured by ultrasound (us) and iol master in both phakic and pseudophakic modes in 24 eyes of 14 patients with artisan intraocular lenses (iols) implanted for refractive purposes, hoffer’s suggested formula for ...

The purpose of this paper is to consider the long-term results of the iris clip lens in senile aphakia. It is not intended to discuss the many different forms of intraocular lens implants. Ophthalmic surgeons are well aware of the discouraging shortand long-term failure rate when contact lenses are used to correct aphakia, and this has stimulated renewed interest in intraocular lens implants in...

BACKGROUND New strategies have been developed for surgical treatment of high myopia. Recently, implantation of minus power posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOL) into phakic eyes has been introduced. METHODS We report a 37 year-old female patient who developed bilateral anterior subcapsular cataract 7 years after minus-power, top hat-style silicone posterior chamber IOL implantation in Ru...
