Article Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the postoperative vault, haptic position, and axis stability of vertical implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation.

Setting: Fudan University Eye and ENT Hospital, Shanghai, China.

Design: Prospective.

Methods: This study included patients who underwent ICL implantation. Three months postoperatively, the vault, haptic position, and axis were measured.

Results: Ninety-eight eyes from 98 patients were included. At 3 months postoperatively, the vault was 517.10 ± 200.08 µm in the vertical group and 506.88 ± 204.19 µm in the horizontal group (P = .803). There was a significant difference in the distribution of haptics in the ciliary sulcus (ICS) between the two groups (P = .045). In the vertical group, an average of 0.90 ± 0.83 haptics near the incision and 1.33 ± 0.81 haptics away from the incision were located in the sulcus, showing a significant difference (P = .002). In those undergoing toric ICL implantation, 54% of eyes in the vertical group and 79% in the horizontal group experienced rotation, with a significant difference (P = .042). In the horizontal group, there were significant differences in both the vault and difference value between vertical and horizontal sulcus-to-sulcus (vSTS - hSTS) between the non-rotated and rotated subgroups (P = .019 and P = .035, respectively).

Conclusion: Customized vertical ICL implantation does not affect refractive outcomes and achieves an ideal vault. Situating the haptic near the incision in the ciliary sulcus is relatively more difficult for vertical implantation. Vertical implantation improves ICL stability in patients with a large vSTS - hSTS.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate anterior chamber angle (ACA) changes after implantable collamer lens (ICL) placement in eyes with shallow anterior chamber depth (ACD) and the effect of vault size on ACA changes.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study of 120 patients (120 eyes) undergoing ICL implantation, participants were stratified into shallow (ACD ≤3.0 mm, n = 60) and normal ACD groups (ACD >3.

Introduction: To evaluate and characterize adverse events (AEs) associated with EVO and EVO+ implantable collamer lens (ICL) using real-world post-marketing surveillance data from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s MAUDE database.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on AE reports related to EVO and EVO+ ICLs, including both spherical and toric models, submitted between 2015 and 2023. After excluding duplicate entries and incomplete records, reports were stratified by lens model and optical type into four groups: spherical EVO, toric EVO, spherical EVO+, and toric EVO+.

Aim: To assess whether the implantation of a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens produces changes in optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements of macular thickness (MT) and two parameters that define the structure of the optic nerve, the peripapillary nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and the Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW).

Methods: This nonrandomized prospective pre-post study included 86 eyes of 48 patients (age, 20-47y; axial length: 23.10-28.

Posterior chamber phakic implantable contact lenses (Phakic-ICL) are widely used for refractive correction due to their efficacy and safety, including minimal corneal endothelial cell loss. The Collamer-based EVO+ Visian implantable contact lens (ICL), manufactured from Collamer, which is a blend of collagen and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), has demonstrated excellent long-term biocompatibility and optical clarity. Recently, hydrophilic acrylic Phakic-ICLs, such as the Implantable Phakic Contact Lens (IPCL), have been introduced.

Quantitative analysis of iris-ciliary angle area to optimize ICL selection: a retrospective study.

BMC Ophthalmol

August 2025

Eye Institute of Shandong First Medical University, Qingdao Eye Hospital of Shandong First Medical University, No. 5 Yan'erdao Road, Qingdao, 26600, China.

Purpose: To introduce the iris-ciliary angle area (ICAA) as a novel quantitative parameter for enhancing accuracy in implantable Collamer lens (ICL) sizing and postoperative vault prediction, addressing limitations of traditional methods based on white-to-white (WTW) and anterior chamber depth (ACD), particularly in high myopia cases.

Methods: In this retrospective study of 319 eyes, sulcus-to-sulcus (STS), ICAA, and other ocular parameters were analyzed using multivariate linear regression models to assess their influence on ICL diameter and vault. Clinical validation was conducted to compare the predictive accuracy of the proposed model with conventional sizing methods.
