Poition of angle-upported, iri-fixated, and ciliary ulcu–implanted myopic phakic intraocular lene evaluated by cheimpflug photography

Purpoe To examine potoperative poitional tability of myopic phakic intraocular lene (IOL). Deign Propective, nonrandomized clinical tudy. Method The tudy included 46 eye which received an anterior chamber angle-upported (Bauch & Lomb NuVita; 10 eye), anterior chamber iri-fixated (Ophtec Artian; 20 eye) or ciliary ulcu–implanted phakic IOL (taar ICL; 16 eye). The ditance between the phakic IOL and the crytalline len and the cornea a well a rotation around the optical axi wa evaluated uing cheimpflug photography at 1, 3 to 6, and 12 month poturgery. Reult The anterior chamber phakic IOL howed no ignificant movement in anteropoterior direction. The poterior chamber phakic IOL howed a ignificant movement toward the crytalline len between potoperative month 3 and 12. The median amount of rotation around the optical axi between the 3- and the 12-month evaluation wa 1.9 degree (range = 0.0–33.5 degree) for the NuVita, 0.6 degree (range = 0.0–3.5 degree) for the Artian, and 0.9 degree (range = 0.2–2.3 degree) for the ICL. Four NuVita IOL rotated more than 10 degree. Concluion The angle-upported anterior chamber phakic IOL howed a generally table poition regarding ditance to cornea and natural len, but rotation wa oberved in four IOL. The iri-fixated phakic IOL howed the highet overall tability. The poterior chamber phakic IOL wa table in term of rotation but had a tendency to decreae in ditance toward the crytalline len. Intraocular lene implanted in phakic eye followed for 12 month demontrate table IOL poition overall.
