Phake Intraokularlinsen
2004
Phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs), which are located closer to the eye's nodal points than the anterior corneal surface, can provide superior optical quality for higher corrections because of retention of normal prolate corneal asphericity and larger effective optical zones. Improvements in the material and design of phakic intraocular lenses and their insertion devices combined with advances in the understanding of the anatomical and physiological interactions of the PIOLs with intraocular structures, have increased safety and efficacy. Safety of these implants over the long term remains a concern, but in several situations PIOLs are the refractive correction of choice. The purpose of this…
Evaluation of a new nomogram for Ferrara ring segment implantation in keratoconus
2021
AIM: To evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of Ferrara rings in keratoconus using an optimized nomogram developed after several years of research and retrospective analysis of clinical data. METHODS: This prospective longitudinal non-comparative clinical trial evaluated 88 eyes of 88 patients (age 18-62y) with keratoconus diagnosis from two Spanish centers. Ferrara ring segment (AJL Ophthalmic) implantation was performed in all cases, using the mechanical procedure in 25 eyes (28.4%) and a femtosecond laser-assisted procedure in 63 eyes (71.6%). The ring segments implanted in each case were selected using a new optimized nomogram that considered variables such as anterior corneal asph…
