We read with great interest the article by Moya et al. in the August 2015 issue.1 The literature on longterm outcomes and complications of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses is scarce and the authors effectively describe their 12-year experience with implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation. We reviewed 349 eyes of 216 patients, of which 155 (44.4%) were treated with spheric ICLs a...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to the unexpected vault in V4c implantable collamer lens (ICL; STAAR Surgical) implantation. METHODS V4c ICLs were implanted in 43 eyes of 43 patients for the correction of myopia. The implanted V4c ICL sizes were determined individually with our previous V4 ICL sizing nomogram based on the sulcus-to-sulcus diameter (STS), a...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes of the anterior chamber (AC) of the eye after implantable Collamer lens (ICL) implantation in high myopia by using the Pentacam. METHODS The prospective study included 34 high myopic patients (34 eyes). All patients were treated with Visian implantable Collamer lens (ICL) (Staar Surgical Co.) implantation. The Pentacam (Ocul...

RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were found in corneal astigmatism vectorial decomposition (J0 and J45) between the preoperative evaluation and each postoperative visit (p > 0.05). However, statistically significant differences in refractive astigmatism vectorial decomposition (J0 and J45) were found between preoperative and postoperative measurements (p < 0.05). Refractive ast...
