Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation is a refractive technique for the correction of myopia. This study aimed to identify those factors contributing to variability in postoperative refraction. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 73 eyes (one eye per patient) implanted with myopic implantable collamer lenses (ICL). Eyes were divided into two groups, the low myopic group (LMG) (ICL > −9.5 DS) and the high myopic group (HMG) (ICL ≤ −9.5 DS), to compare the predictability, efficacy index, and postoperative refraction between groups. The association of postoperative refraction with anatomical, demographic, and optical features was assessed through correlation analysis and investigated using ray-tracing. Results: Postoperative refraction at 3 months for the whole group was close to emmetropia at −0.02 ± 0.37 DS, the LMG tended toward myopia and the HMG, toward hyperopia. The results showed that 65% and 54% of the eyes had postoperative refraction of within ±0.25 DS, respectively, in the LMG and HMG, and in both groups, 100% were within ±1.00 DS. ICL implantation had a higher efficacy index in the HMG (1.13 ± 0.15) than in the LMG (1.04 ± 0.15). Postoperative refraction was positively associated with the vault (R = 0.408) and negatively correlated with ICL power (R = −0.382). Conclusion: The predictability and effectiveness of ICL implantation is high in a wide range of myopias. Considering the expected vault and including accurate vertex measurements would contribute to improving the predictability of the results.

Abstract Purpose To describe and present results after a technique for cataract surgery combined with explantation of an iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (IF-pIOL). Methods The medical records of all patients, who had undergone cataract surgery combined with IF-pIOL explantation and subsequent implantation of a posterior chamber IOL by the Single Incision Technique (SIT), were reviewed. Data collection included preoperative and postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction, and endothelial cell density (ECD) up to a follow-up time of 24 months. Results Fifty myopic eyes (34 patients) and 9 hyperopic eyes (6 patients) had undergone a SIT procedure mainly because of cataract (67%). Postoperative CDVA improved in both the myopic eyes to 0.16 ± 0.37 logMAR, as in the hyperopic eyes to − 0.10 ± 0.55 logMAR with no eyes having loss of Snellen lines. Mean postoperative spherical equivalent was − 0.34 ± 0.72 D and − 0.10 ± 0.55 D, respectively. ECD loss 6 months after surgery was 5% and remained stable thereafter. Conclusion SIT for combined phacoemulsification and IF-pIOL removal yields good visual and refractive results and is a safe procedure in regard to ECD loss. The technique has advantages over the conventional procedure and is easy to perform.

Abstract Background To compare the arithmetic mean (M-SIA) and the summated vector mean of surgically induced astigmatism (SVM-SIA) according to the incision site after phakic intraocular lens (Visian implantable collamer lens (ICL), STAAR Surgical) implantation. Methods This study comprised 121 eyes of 121 consecutive patients undergoing ICL surgery through a 3.0-mm temporal or superior clear corneal incision. The magnitude and the axis of corneal astigmatism preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively were measured using an automated keratometer. The M-SIA and the SVM-SIA were determined according to the incision site. Results The magnitude of corneal astigmatism significantly increased from 1.23 ± 0.59 D preoperatively to 1.46 ± 0.72 D postoperatively in the temporal incision group (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, P < 0.001), but it significantly decreased from 1.09 ± 0.36 D preoperatively to 0.86 ± 0.41 D postoperatively in the superior incision group (P < 0.001). The M-SIA was 0.48 ± 0.30 D, and the SVM-SIA was 0.23 ± 0.52 D at a meridian of 82° in the temporal incision group. The M-SIA was 0.57 ± 0.30 D, and the SVM-SIA was 0.47 ± 0.45 D at a meridian of 1° in the superior incision group. Conclusions ICL implantation induces the M-SIA by approximately 0.5 D, but the SVM-SIA decreased to 50% and 80% of the M-SIA in magnitude through temporal and superior incisions, respectively. The direction of the SVM-SIA showed a tendency toward corneal flattening to the incisional site. It should be noted that the M-SIA is somewhat different from the SVM-SIA according to the incision site.

Purpose: To analyse long-term efficacy, safety, visual and refractive stability and physiological changes of Artiflex Myopia and Toric phakic intraocular lenses (pIOL) separately throughout an 8-year follow-up. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: A total of 67 eyes of 37 patients underwent Artiflex Myopia (47 eyes) or Artiflex Toric (20 eyes) implantation for correcting myopia and/or astigmatism. Follow-up evaluations were performed 1, 3, 5 and 8 years after surgery. Preoperative and postoperative data included corrected (CDVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), manifest refraction, endothelial cell density (ECD) and intraocular pressure (IOP) assessments. Efficacy and safety indexes were analysed. The vectorial analysis was performed using the Thibos method. Results: Mean CDVA and UDVA of both pIOLs significantly improved from preoperative to 1 year after implantation, and then it remained stable over the 8-year follow-up. The efficacy and safety indexes after 8 years were 0.94 ± 0.16 and 1.07 ± 0.18 for Artiflex Myopia and 1.00 ± 0.11 and 1.10 ± 0.15 for Artiflex Toric, respectively. The spherical equivalent (SE) significantly improved after surgery. J0, J45 and SE refractive components showed no changes between postoperative visits. A total ECD loss of 4.8% ( p < 0.001) and 10.4% ( p = 0.005) was found after 8 years for Artiflex Myopia and Toric, respectively. Conclusions: Artiflex Myopia and Toric pIOLs are a safe, efficient and predictable option for the correction of myopia and/or astigmatism. The vectorial analysis showed excellent rotation stability for the toric version.
