ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate intraocular dimensions of the anterior segment of myopic phakic eyes after implantation of foldable iris-fixated lenses. METHODS: Seventeen myopic eyes that received a foldable iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) were assessed. Distances between the cornea and the IOLoptic edge and between the IOL optic and the crystalline lens were evaluated using Scheimpf lug photography 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS: The average postoperative distance between the central corneal endothelium and the anterior surface of the IOL was 2.01±0.26 mm. The distance between the corneal endothelium and the peripheral edge of the IOL averaged 1.32±0.18 mm at the 12 o'clock position and 1.34±0.21 mm at the 6 o'clock position. The distance between the crystalline lens and the posterior surface of the IOL averaged 0.73±0.09 mm. CONCLUSIONS: The high quality of the three-dimensional Scheimpf lug images allowed measurements of intraocular distances in PIOL implanted eyes. Distances between the foldable iris-fixated IOL and crucial surrounding tissues could be determined 3 months postoperatively. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:243-246.]
