purpose: to evaluate the predictability, efficacy, and safety of iris-claw artisanô phakic intraocular lenses ­for myopia. methods: through a prospective clinical study, 35 eyes of 21 patients with myopia from -5 to 26.5 diopters underwent implantation of the artisan lens. patients were examined 1, 3, and 7 days (all eyes); 1 month (28 eyes), 3 months (29 eyes), and 6 months (32 eyes) after the...

purpose : to evaluate the outcome of iris-claw phakic intraocular lens (piol) implantation for high myopia in a subspecialty training setting methods : iris-claw phakic artisan (ophtec b.v., groningen , the netherlands) intraocular lens implanted patients were invited for an evaluation visit: 83 eyes had been operated on by a group of 10 cornea fellows under the supervision of nine anterior seg...

Iris varix as a cause of late-onset inflammation after implantation of a phakic iris claw lens Iris varix as a cause of late-onset inflammation after implantation of a phakic iris claw lens.

PURPOSE To evaluate variations in the position of the phakic iris claw lens (Artisan, Verisyse) and the natural crystalline lens during the accommodation process. METHODS We measured changes in position of the iris claw lens and the crystalline lens during the accommodation using optical coherence biometry (AC Master/Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany) in 17 patients (28 eyes) with a phakic iris cla...

PURPOSE To report a case of reversal of myopic anisometropic amblyopia with phakic intraocular lens implantation. METHODS A 6-year-old boy with anisometropic amblyopia with spherical equivalent refraction of right eye: -14.00 -3.00 x 100 degrees, left eye: -0.50 -3.25 x 90 degrees, was treated for 2 years with occlusion to the left eye, with poor results. Refractive surgery was planned becaus...

SUMMARY Iris-claw intraocular lens (ICIOL) for aphakia needs a large 5.4 mm corneal incision for its implantation. The technique needs corneal suture, associated with some postoperative astigmatism. Foldable ICIOL is used in phakic patients undergoing refractive surgery and has the advantage of a sutureless small corneal incision. We report a case of a high myopic patient with dislocated intrao...

purpose: to evaluate the safety, efficacy, stability and predictability of posterior chamber collagen copolymer phakic intraocular lens (piol) implantation to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism in keratoconus-affected patients. methods: uncorrected (ucva) and best-corrected (bcva) distance visual acuity, refraction and complications were evaluated in 22 keratoconic eyes of 14 patients who un...

purpose: to compare visual outcomes and surgical complications of three phakic intraocular lenses (piols); artisan, artiflex and the implantable collamer lens (icl) for correction of moderate to high myopia. methods: in this historical cohort study, 112 myopic eyes that were operated between 2005 and 2010 and implanted with one of these three piols were evaluated (artisan 40 eyes, artiflex 36 e...
