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...

purpose : to assess the visual and refractive outcomes after implantation of toric implantable collamer lens (t-icl) in compound myopic astigmatism methods : in this prospective study, 28 eyes with manifest refraction spherical equivalent (mrse) errors of -10.94±4.09 diopter (d) and mean cylindrical errors of -3.47±1.39 d underwent t-icl implantation. six months after surgery, best corrected an...

Posterior Chamber Phakic Toric Implantable Collamer Lenses have become increasingly used to correct refractive error associated with astigmatism. These devices are claimed to provide high efficacy in terms of refractive correction. This book chapter is an updated review on the safety and effectiveness and potential complications of the toric implantable collamer lens (Toric ICL) published in pe...

Introduction: We report the case of a patient in whom simultaneous toric phakic intraocular lens removal and phacoemulsification with toric intraocular lens implantation were beneficial for reducing pre-existing astigmatism and acquiring good visual outcomes in eyes with implantable collamer lens-induced cataract and astigmatism. Case presentation: A 53-year-old woman had undergone toric implan...

PURPOSE To present the case of a 28-year-old man with acetazolamide-induced bilateral choroidal effusion after uneventful surgery of the second eye in delayed sequential bilateral insertion of an implantable collamer lens for hyperopia. METHODS Case report. RESULTS Surgery of the left eye was uneventful, and the implantable collamer lens was implanted 3 weeks later in the right eye. Twenty-...

purpose: to evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability and stability of implantable collamer lens (icl) and toric icl for the treat­ment of high myopia and high myopic astigmatism, one year prospective study. methods: in this prospective nonrandomized clinical trial, 95 eyes of 51 patients that had icl (31 eyes) and toric icl (64 eyes) were participate in eye research center, department of o...

Purpose: To evaluate efficacy, predictability and safety of the surgical correction of high myopia using the phakic posterior chamber implantable collamer lens. Design: A prospective, nonrandomized, non-comparative interventional case series. Participants: Twenty seven eyes of fifteen patients aged from 20 to 46 years having high myopia were included. Intervention: STAAR modified collamer impla...
