Refractive outcomes of implantation of an implantable phakic copolymer lens with peripheral holes in the intraocular posterior chamber in moderate to high myopia patients: A single-surgeon series

Clinical Ophthalmology Sep 29, 2019

Subudhi P, et al. - In Indian patients with moderate to high myopia, researchers tested the effectiveness and safety of implanting implantable phakic copolymer lenses (IPCLs) with peripheral optic holes in the intraocular posterior chamber. They retrospectively analyzed 75 eyes of 50 patients (mean age was 25.36 years) who had IPCL implantation. From the medical case records of the patients, clinical outcome data were collated retrospectively. Data reported that the mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.367 logmar units. The mean uncorrected visual acuity after IPCL implantation was 0.225 logmar units, which was significantly higher than the preoperative BCVA. Investigators found that implantation of the IPCL with peripheral holes in the intraocular posterior chamber led to a clinically important improvement in unaided visual acuity. Long-term follow-up exhibited optimum vision stability.
