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...

PURPOSE To assess the 3-year clinical outcomes of toric phakic intraocular lens (Visian ICL™; STAAR Surgical) implantation for moderate to high myopic astigmatism. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated fifty eyes of 28 patients who underwent toric ICL implantation for the correction of moderate to high myopic astigmatism and who regularly returned for postoperative examination. Before, a...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and clinical outcome of phakic Visian toric implantable collamer lens (ICL) (STAAR Surgical, Monrovia, CA) insertion after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in progressive keratoconus. METHODS A retrospective study examined the results of the two-step CXL and Visian toric ICL implantation in 16 eyes of 10 patients with keratoconus. The two procedures were don...

Purpose. To evaluate the long-term safety and clinical outcome of phakic Visian toric implantable collamer lens (ICL) insertion after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in progressive keratoconus. Methods. This was a retrospective study of 30 eyes (19 patients), with progressive keratoconus, who underwent sequential CXL followed by Visian toric ICL implantation after 6 months. Results. At bas...

Lens damage during phakic intraocular lens implantation is a major complication. A case of a patient who developed lens vacuoles during toric implantable collamer lens (ICL) removal from her right eye and insertion of a new non-toric ICL due to persistent rotation of the former is presented in this work. As this event is very uncommon when implanting phakic intraocular lenses, the performed sur...

Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the pathogenesis of visual fatigue in patients after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation based on an evaluation of accommodation function. Methods: Thirty patients (12 males and 18 females) with high myopia underwent a toric or non-toric ICL procedure. Accommodation function was tested pre-operatively and 1, 3, and 6 months p...

PURPOSE To evaluate the visual outcome and intraocular pressure changes after Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) implantation V4b and V4c (with central hole) for correction of high myopia. METHODS A prospective, consecutive, interventional comparative case series of V4b and V4c ICL implantation was done in high myopic patients who were unsuitable for laser vision. The main outcome measure...

PURPOSE To describe a case of cystoid macular edema (CME) developing after posterior chamber toric phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation. METHODS Case report. RESULTS A 33-year-old male underwent implantation of toric implantable collamer lenses (ICL), a new generation of PIOLs, for both eyes. Preoperative best spectacle-corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/25 in the right e...
