Prevalence of cataract after collagen copolymer phakic intraocular lens implantation for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism
2015
Purpose To evaluate the prevalence of cataract after Implantable Collamer Lens phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation with different models at different ages and for different refractive powers. Setting Fernandez-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain. Design Retrospective nonrandomized clinical study. Methods The pIOL (models V4, V4b, or V4c) was implanted in all cases. Results The study included 3420 eyes (1898 patients). The mean patient age at surgery was 31.2 years ± 6.4 (SD) (range 18 to 50 years) and the mean spherical refractive error, −7.27 ± 5.24 diopters (D) (range −26.5 to 12.5 D). Twenty-one eyes (0.61%) of 15 patients had pIOL explantation (all model V4) because c…

2014
Purpose To evaluate the predictability, stability, safety, and efficacy of Visian V4b Implantable Collamer Lens phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation to treat varying degrees of myopia. Setting Fernandez-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain. Design Prospective nonrandomized clinical study. Methods The uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, refraction, pIOL vault, and adverse effects were evaluated 12 months postoperatively. Results The study enrolled 121 eyes (68 patients). The mean spherical equivalent decreased from −8.61 diopters (D) ± 3.41 (SD) (range −18.75 to −2.25 D) preoperatively to −0.18 ± 0.29 D (range −1.25 to 0.50 D) 12 months postoper…
Clinical Impact of a Spontaneous Decentration of a Phakic Refractive Lens
2011
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical impact and possible causes of a spontaneous decentration of a phakic refractive lens (PRL) implanted in a highly myopic eye, and analyzing the visual, refractive, and aberrometric outcome as well as the possible causes for this phenomenon. METHODS The description of a case of bilateral high myopia corrected by implantation with the phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) PRL (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany) is presented and documented. Both eyes had similar anatomical configuration, and therefore, a pIOL (Model 101) with the same size was implanted without any associated intraoperative complication. Clinical outcomes were evaluated during a 3-month follow-up. RESULTS Im…
Objective vs Subjective Vault Measurement After Myopic Implantable Collamer Lens Implantation
2009
PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between subjective measurements of vault and objective values measured with Visante optical coherence tomography (OCT) in eyes receiving an implantable contact lens (ICL) for myopia correction. DESIGN: Observational cross-sectional study. METHODS: SETTING: Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain. PATIENTS: Four hundred and fifty-two eyes from 246 patients were elected to be implanted with a Visian ICL V4 (STAAR Surgical Inc, Monrovia, California, USA). OBSERVATION PROCEDURES: Subjective and objective measurements of vault after implantation of ICL. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Subjective vault classified in 5 levels assessed using an optical …
Iris-fixated toric phakic intraocular lens for myopic astigmatism
2011
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy, predictability, safety, stability, and complications of the Artiflex toric iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) for myopic astigmatism. Setting Private practice surgery centers, Valencia and Terrassa, Spain. Design Cohort study. Methods At 12 months, refraction, uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, complications, pIOL misalignment, and endothelial cell count (ECC) were evaluated. Indices of success and misalignment were calculated using vector analysis. Results The study enrolled 42 eyes in 25 patients aged 21 to 39 years. The mean spherical equivalent decreased from −8.85 diopters (D) ± 2.71 (SD) to −0.37 ± 0.46 D, with …
On-eye optical quality of daily disposable contact lenses for different wearing times
2012
Purpose To quantify the optical quality of various daily disposable contact lenses in vivo and to ascertain its variation in terms of wearing time by means of objective non-invasive determination of wavefront patterns. Methods The crx1 adaptive-optics system was used to measure the wavefront aberrations in 15 myopic eyes before and at 2-h intervals after contact lens fitting, over a 12-h wearing period. Seven types of contact lenses having different material, water content and lens design were evaluated in this study: Dailies Total1, Dailies AquaComfort Plus, Proclear 1 Day, 1-Day Acuvue TruEye, 1-Day Acuvue moist, SofLens daily disposable and Clariti 1-Day. The aberration data were analyse…
Crystalens HD Intraocular Lens Analysis Using an Adaptive Optics Visual Simulator
2013
PURPOSE To compare visual and optical quality of the Crystalens HD intraocular lens (IOL) with that of a monofocal IOL. METHODS The wavefront aberration patterns of the monocular Akreos Adapt AO IOL and the single-optic accommodating Crystalens HD IOL were measured in a model eye. The Crystalens IOL was measured in its nonaccommodative state and then, after flexing the haptic to produce 1.4 mm of movement, in its accommodative state. Using an adaptive optics system, subjects' aberrations were removed and replaced with those of pseudophakes viewing with either lens. Monocular distance visual acuity (DVA) at high (100%), medium (50%), and low (10%) contrast and contrast sensitivity (CS) were …
Postoperative astigmatism and rotational stability after Artisan toric phakic intraocular lens implantation
2003
Abstract Purpose To evaluate deviations in the axis (intended versus achieved) and postoperative astigmatism after implantation of an Artisan toric phakic intraocular lens (IOL). Setting University Eye Hospital, Mainz, Germany. Methods This prospective study comprised 29 eyes with high ametropia and astigmatism. All eyes had uneventful implantation of a toric phakic IOL through a superior scleral tunnel incision at 12 o’clock. After a minimum of 6 months, the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best correct visual acuity, refraction, and astigmatism were analyzed in all eyes. A multivariate analysis of postoperative astigmatism was performed. Results After a follow-up of at least 6 months, 95…
Rate of Cataract Formation in 343 Highly Myopic Eyes After Implantation of Three Types of Phakic Intraocular Lenses
2004
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of using phakic intraocular lenses (PIOL) to treat high myopia, and evaluate the incidence of cataract, comparing three different lens types. METHODS: From 1989 to 2002, we implanted three different phakic intraocular lenses (PIOL) in 343 eyes of 232 patients; 231 eyes recieved an Ophtec (Worst-Fechner model, iris-claw), 89 an Adatomed (silicone posterior chamber), and 23 a Staar (posterior chamber, models V2, V3, V4). Average follow-up was 96.2 months for the Ophtec group, 31.5 months for the Adatomed group, and 19.3 months for Staar group. Eyes that subsequently developed cataract were studied for clinical evolution and had PIOL explantation and…

2003
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of using phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) to correct high myopia by comparing 3 IOL models: Adatomed, Staar, and Artisan. Setting: La Fe University Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology, and the Fundacion Oftalmologica del Mediterraneo, Valencia, Spain.
