Visual outcomes with two posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses in myopic patients: a contralateral eye study.

Purpose: Assess the efficacy, safety, and visual quality of two posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (PIOL) for myopia correction.

Methods: In this randomized double-blind prospective controlled trial, 38 eyes of 19 myopic patients received phakic refractive (PR) IOL in one eye and implantable collamer lens (EVO ICL) in the opposite eye and were followed up for 1 year. Uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, vault, disk halo size, contrast sensitivity, higher-order aberrations, retinal imaging quality, intraocular scattering, and subjective glare/halo perception were measured.

Long-Term Evaluation of Central and Peripheral Lens Densities Post Implantation of Implantable Collamer Lens V4c.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the impact of long-term ICL implantation on lens density, focusing on the relationship between the anterior subcapsule, anterior lens density, and implantable collamer lenses (ICL) position after ICL V4c implantation.

Methods: This retrospective study included 145 eyes with ICL V4c implantation and average follow-up of 4.2 years (range: 3-8 years).

Long-term observation of the in vivo safety of a new design of phakic refractive lens.

Background: To evaluate the biosafety, reduction in anterior capsule opacification, and fluctuation in intraocular pressure (IOP) of a new phakic refractive lens (PRL) with a sinusoidal drainage groove design.

Methods: This self-controlled experiment was performed on eight eyes of four rabbits. Each rabbit was implanted with a sinusoidal PRL (PRL-S5) in the right eye and a conventional posterior chamber PRL (PC-PRL) in the left eye.

Changes in relative peripheral refraction after implantable collamer lenses implantation.

Purpose: This study aimed to measure the changes in refraction difference value (RDV) in different parts of the retina before and after implantable collamer lenses (ICL) surgery.

Design: Prospective study.

Methods: This study included 40 eyes of 40 patients who underwent ICL implantation for myopia.

Immediate versus delayed sequential bilateral ICL implantation: A retrospective comparison of vault height and visual outcomes.

Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes and risks of suboptimal vault-related complications between immediate sequential bilateral ICL surgery (ISBICLS) and delayed sequential bilateral ICL surgery (DSBICLS).

Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Methods: Patients who underwent bilateral ICL implantation between November 2014 and December 2021 at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University (Shanghai, China) were included and divided into two groups: (1) ISBICLS: both eye surgeries performed on the same day, and (2) DSBICLS: second eye surgery performed < 7 days following the first one.
