Clinical outcomes after implantation of a posterior chamber collagen copolymer phakic intraocular lens with a central hole for myopic correction.
2013
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy, predictability, safety, and stability of a new-model posterior chamber Implantable Collamer Lens phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) (V4c Visian) to correct myopia. Setting Private practice, Oviedo, Spain. Design Case series. Methods This study enrolled patients who had implantation of a new pIOL design with a central hole for more natural aqueous flow, eliminating the need for neodymium:YAG iridotomy or peripheral iridectomy. The uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, refractive error, intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelial cell count, central vault, and adverse events were evaluated 6 months postoperatively. Results The study enroll…
Endothelial cell loss after toric iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation: three-year follow-up.
2007
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To study quantitative changes in endothelial cell count after implantation of the toric iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens. METHODS: A prospective, non-randomized, self-controlled clinical trial was conducted of 40 eyes (28 myopic, 12 hyperopic) of 23 patients with high ametropia and astigmatism. Non-contact computer-assisted endothelial microscopy was performed before and I1 2, and 3 years after surgery. RESULTS: In the myopic group, mean preoperative endothelial cell count was 3179±531 cells/mm p 2 (range: 1800 to 3900 cells/mm2). The mean intraindividual endothelial cell loss was -1.83±2.25% (range: -9.09% to 0%) in the first year; -1.83+2.95% (range: -7.74% to 3.80%)…
Differences in visual performance of AcrySof ReSTOR IOL in high and low myopic eyes.
2009
PURPOSE To determine the differences in refractive and visual results obtained in eyes with high and low myopia after multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS Monocular visual acuity for distance and near, with and without distance correction, and photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity were measured at 6 months after surgery in 152 myopic eyes implanted with the AcrySof ReSTOR Natural (SN60D3) IOL. Two groups were created: high and low myopia (76 eyes in each). RESULTS Monocular best distance-corrected visual acuity was 0.02+/-0.06 logMAR for low myopes and 0.05+/-0.09 logMAR for high myopes. Monocular best distance-corrected near visual acuity was 0.04+/-0.05 and 0.07+/-0…
Symmetric bilateral implantation of a distance-dominant diffractive bifocal intraocular lens
2007
To assess visual results after symmetrical bilateral implantation of a distance-dominant bifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL).Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain.Fifty patients had bilateral implantation of a distance-dominant diffractive bifocal 447D IOL (Acri.Tec GmbH) in a prospective study. Monocular and binocular best corrected distance visual acuities and best distance-corrected near visual acuity, binocular best distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity, and distance contrast sensitivity under photopic (85 cd/m(2)) and mesopic (5 cd/m(2)) conditions were determined.At the 6-month postoperative visit, the mean binocular best corrected distance acuity and…
Long-term follow-up of a multifocal apodized diffractive intraocular lens after cataract surgery.
2007
Purpose To report the long-term performance of the AcrySof ReSTOR SA60D3 intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery. Setting University Hospital Maastricht, Maastricht, The Netherlands. Methods This prospective clinical trial comprised 44 eyes (22 consecutive patients) having cataract surgery with implantation of the ReSTOR IOL. Monocular and binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity, best corrected distance visual acuity, uncorrected near visual acuity, best distance-corrected near visual acuity, spectacle dependence, undesired visual symptoms, patient satisfaction, and incidence of posterior capsule opacification were analyzed 6 months and 3 years postoperatively. Results The mean u…
Change in pupil size after implantation of an iris-fixated toric phakic intraocular lens
2005
Purpose To evaluate the changes in pupil size after implantation of an iris-supported toric phakic intraocular lens (TPIOL) for correction of myopia and hyperopia with astigmatism. Setting Department of Ophthalmology, Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz, Germany. Methods Twenty-two myopic eyes and 9 hyperopic eyes were included in the study. The mean age of the 2 groups was 34 years and 40 years, respectively. The scotopic pupil size was measured with a handheld infrared pupillometer (Colvard, Oasis Medical) before and 6 months after implantation of the TPIOL. All examinations were performed under scotopic conditions after 2 minutes of dark adaptation with the fellow eye covered. Intraindi…
Optical and Visual Quality of the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens Using an Adaptive-Optics Visual Simulator
2013
To evaluate visual and optical quality of the implantable collamer lens for different powers and sizes of incision surgery.Prospective study in humans.An adaptive optics visual simulator was used to measure 3 powers of implantable collamer lenses and simulate the implantable collamer lens wavefront aberration's pattern for small- and large-incision surgery. Visual acuity (VA) and contrast sensitivity were measured in 11 observers for 3- and 5-mm pupils. Modulation transfer function, point spread function, and Strehl ratio were calculated.At 3 mm pupil, no statistically significant differences were found between both incision sizes for any implantable collamer lens power, except for -15 diop…
Influence of optic quality on contrast sensitivity and visual acuity in eyes with a rigid or flexible phakic intraocular lens
2009
Purpose To determine whether the difference in optic quality between 2 types of phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) affects visual quality. Setting Fundacion Oftalmologica del Mediterraneo, Valencia, Spain. Methods Before implantation of a pIOL for myopia, all eyes had an examination including corrected (CDVA) and uncorrected (UDVA) distance visual acuity testing, corneal endothelial cell count (ECC), and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement. The postoperative outcomes, determined at least 1 year after surgery, were CDVA; UDVA; contrast sensitivity function under photopic, mesopic, and mesopic with glare conditions; ECC; IOP; keratometry (Scheimpflug photography); and total ocular aberratio…
Fixed Mydriatic Pupil Associated with an Intraocular Pressure Rise as a Complication of the Implant of a Phakic Refractive Lens (PRL)
2013
We describe a case report of a patient that was implanted with a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (Phakic Refractive Lens, PRL) for the correction of moderate myopia and who developed postoperatively a fixed mydriasis compatible with an Urrets-Zavalia Syndrome (UZS). Specifically, a sudden acute increase of IOP in the left eye was observed in the immediate postoperative period. After IOP stabilization, the refractive result was good, but a fixed and mydriatic pupil appeared. This condition led the patient to experience visual discomfort, halos, and glare associated with high levels of higher-order aberrations in spite of the good visual result. A tinted-contact lens was fitted in o…
Impact of the line of sight on toric phakic intraocular lenses for hyperopia
2003
We present a hyperopic patient with a decentered line of sight in whom the residual refractive error after toric phakic intraocular lens (TP IOL) implantation was improved by displacement and individualized treatment. A 35-year-old woman presented with asthenopic complaints 2 months after bilateral TP IOL implantation and IOL rotation 4 weeks later. Examination revealed the line of sight to be nasally and inferiorly decentered in relation to the center of the pupil. A more nasal reenclavation of the TP IOL decreased the coma, and the uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20. We conclude that line of sight should be measured before TP IOL implantation, especially in hyperopic eyes.
