J Ophthalmol 2024; 2024:3181569. [PMID: 38812725 PMCID: PMC11136544 DOI: 10.1155/2024/3181569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The reference range for the preoperative anterior chamber angle width for ICL surgery is unclear. Our objective was to assess the clinical effect and the range of anterior chamber angle width of posterior-chamber implantable collamer lens V4c (ICL V4c) implantation in patients with anterior chamber depth (ACD) < 2.8 mm. Methods Patients who underwent ICL V4c implantation with shallow ACD were included in this retrospective study. The patients' uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, angle of trabecular-iris (TIA), angle-opening distance (AOD500), trabecular-iris space area (TISA500), corneal endothelial cell density, vault, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, intraocular pressure, visual field, and complications were analyzed. Results Forty-one patients (68 eyes) completed at least 12 months of follow-up (median follow-up, 30 months). The effectiveness and safety indices were 1.09 ± 0.13 and 1.04 ± 0.21, respectively. The preoperative TIA values on the nasal and temporal sides were 39.78 ± 7.68 degree (range, 25.8-65.1 degree) and 41.54 ± 8.03 degree (range, 28.5-63.00 degree). Forty-seven eyes had uncorrected distance visual acuity ≥1.0, and 55 had corrected distance visual acuity ≥1.0 at the last follow-up visit. The TIA, AOD500, and TISA500 on the nasal and temporal sides were significantly reduced compared to those before surgery (all P < 0.01); no eye had an angle closure or elevated intraocular pressure. The ICL V4c vault was 290.88 ± 153.36 μm (range, 60.0-880.0 μm). No severe complications occurred in any patient. Conclusions In patients with myopia with shallow ACD (2.55-2.79 mm), a preoperative TIA >25.8° is safe and effective for a relatively long time after surgery; however, an extended long-term close follow-up is needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the dynamic changes in anterior segment parameters during accommodation following Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) implantation with swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). METHODS Under the accommodation of 0.00 diopters (D), 3.00 D, and maximum amplitude, SS-OCT was used to examine the anterior segment parameters, including ICL vault, ICL depth (the distance between the corneal endothelium and the posterior surface of ICL), crystalline lens thickness, anterior chamber depth, and various parameters of the anterior chamber angle, comprising angle opening distance, angle recess area, trabecular iris space area, and trabecular iris angle. RESULTS During accommodation, the ICL vault showed a significant decrease from baseline (536 ± 278 μm) to 3.00 D (522 ± 281 μm), followed by an increase from 3.00 D to maximum amplitude (548 ± 306 μm) (analysis of variance [ANOVA], P < .001). Four eyes (2.61%) exhibited a decrease in ICL vault to less than 100 μm (47 ± 32 μm) at maximum accommodation. The ICL depth decreased significantly as accommodation increased (ANOVA, P < .001). Crystalline lens thickness increased, whereas anterior chamber depth decreased during accommodation (ANOVA, P < .001). The anterior chamber angle widened during 3.00 D of accommodation but narrowed at maximum accommodation, leading to significant changes in the angle opening distance, angle recess area, trabecular iris space area, and trabecular iris angle during accommodation (ANOVA, P < .001 for all). CONCLUSIONS The anterior segment, including ICL vault and anterior chamber angle, undergo significant dynamic changes during accommodation. These accommodative changes may require careful monitoring for the surgery design of ICL implantation. [J Refract Surg. 2024;40(3):e164-e172.].

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the dynamic vault range (the difference in the central vault height from scotopic to photopic light condition) after implantation of the ICL/TICL (STAAR Surgical) and Eyecryl phakic/Eyecryl phakic toric intraocular lens (IOL) (Biotech Healthcare). METHODS This retrospective study included patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism eligible for phakic IOL implantation with either the ICL/TICL or Eyecryl phakic/Eyecryl phakic toric IOL. Vault changes in varying light conditions (scotopic, mesopic, and photopic) were assessed using an anterior segment optical coherence tomography-based tomographer and dynamic vault range (DVR) was compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 60 eyes from 36 patients (30 eyes in each group) with a mean age of 28.63 ± 6.36 years were included. The mean postoperative follow-up at the time of assessment was 9.4 ± 5.3 and 8.9 ± 5.28 months (P = .75) in the ICL and Eyecryl groups, respectively. The mean values of scotopic, mesopic, and photopic vault were 490.56 ± 238.64, 453.56 ± 224.30, and 373.96 ± 200.24 μm in the ICL group and 515.46 ± 174.34, 490.26 ± 184.04, 450.43 ± 173.92 μm in the Eyecryl group (P = .32, .24, and .05, respectively). The DVR was 116.6 ± 59.29 μm in the ICL group versus 65.03 ± 31.78 μm in the Eyecryl group (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The Eyecryl phakic IOL showed significantly fewer light-induced changes in the central vault height (DVR) compared to the ICL, which may be attributed to the difference in the material of the two phakic IOL models. This may be clinically significant in eyes with low postoperative vaults with respect to their follow-up and risk assessment of cataractogenesis in the long term.

Abstract
Preoperative and postoperative diagnostics play an important role in ensuring the safety of patients with phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs). The risk of endothelial cell loss can be addressed by regularly measuring the endothelial cell density using specular microscopy and considering the endothelial cell loss rate and the endothelial reserve in accordance with the patient's age when deciding whether to explant a pIOL. The anterior chamber morphometrics, including the anterior chamber depth and the distance between the pIOL and the endothelium, measured using Scheimpflug tomography and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), can help to assess the risk of the endothelial cell loss. In patients undergoing posterior chamber pIOL implantation, accurate prediction of the vault and its postoperative measurements using AS-OCT or Scheimpflug tomography are important when assessing the risk of anterior subcapsular cataract and secondary glaucoma. Novel approaches based on ultrasound biomicroscopy and AS-OCT have been proposed to increase the vault prediction accuracy and to identify eyes in which prediction errors are more likely. Careful patient selection and regular postoperative follow-up visits can reduce the complication risk and enable early intervention if a complication occurs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop and validate a new multivariable prediction model to estimate risk of abnormal vault after EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (EVO-ICL) implantation using the preoperative parameters. METHODS This retrospective study comprised 282 eyes of 143patients who underwent EVO-ICL surgery between May 2021 and April 2022. We measured preoperative parameters before surgery and vaults in 1 week after the operation using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Risk factors for abnormal vault were determined by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, and a nomogram was developed to forecast the risk of abnormal vault after EVO-ICL implantation. We assessed the performance of nomogram in terms of discrimination and calibration, including concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), area under the ROC curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA). Bootstrap resampling was used as an internal verification method. RESULTS The logistic regression analysis revealed the independent risk factors for abnormal vault were white-to-white(WTW), anterior chamber angle(ACA), pupil size, and ICL-size, all of them were used to establish a nomogram based on multivariate logistic regression to predict the risk of abnormal vault. The C-indexes and AUC were 0.669 (95%CI, 0.605, 0.733). The calibration curves of the nomogram showed relatively small bias from the reference line, implicating an acceptable degree of confidence. The DCA indicates the potential clinical significance of the nomogram. CONCLUSIONS We developed a new multivariable prediction model to estimate risk of abnormal vault. The model shows good prediction effect and can provide assistance for clinical decision of ICL size.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study evaluated vault changes in eyes implanted with an implantable Collamer lens (ICL) with a central hole (ICL V4c) for myopia and astigmatism correction as well as factors related to vault changes over time. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 169 myopic eyes from 169 patients (137 women and 32 men) who underwent ICL V4c implantation to correct myopia and astigmatism. Vault values were measured quantitatively using a rotating Scheimpflug camera. Each patient underwent at least four postoperative follow-up visits at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and more than 2 years. We compared postoperative values between groups and identified factors affecting vault changes over time. RESULTS The mean vaults at 1 month (baseline), 6 months, 1 year, and the last follow-up time following ICL implantation were 540.83 ± 186.13, 520.00 ± 196.08, 503.79 ± 198.30, and 471.42 ± 211.35 μm, respectively. Eyes with baseline vaults of 250-750 and ≥ 750 μm exhibited a trend of vault decrease over time, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05) at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively, respectively. The variables relevant to the value of vault decrease between baseline and last follow-up time were anterior chamber depth (ACD) and ICL power (adjusted R2 = 0.121, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We found a trend of decreased mean objective vault values over time, which was more obvious in eyes with higher baseline vault values. The vault value of the ICL decreased more in eyes with shallower ACDs, higher ICL power, or both. Moreover, the decrease in vault values became statistically significant earlier in eyes with higher baseline vaults or shallower ACDs.

Immediate or Delayed Sequential Bilateral ICL Surgery: a Survey of Chinese Ophthalmologists. Ophthalmol Ther 2022; 12:217-237. [PMID: 36331756 PMCID: PMC9638457 DOI: 10.1007/s40123-022-00599-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In China, the demand for implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery is booming. Immediate sequential bilateral ICL surgery (ISBICLS) benefits patients and clinics, but it remains controversial and lacks standardization. We aim to investigate the prevalence of, factors for, and surgeon attitudes toward ISBICLS. METHODS In this cross-sectional survey study, an electronic questionnaire about the practice and attitudes toward performing ISBICLS or delayed sequential bilateral ICL surgery (DSBICLS) was distributed to 792 qualified ICL surgeons in Mainland China, between 4 April and 22 April 2022. RESULTS A total of 531 surgeons (66.79%) from 30 provinces in Mainland China responded. Among them, 374 (67.23%) were currently performing ISBICLS. Fifty-two percent (277) of surgeons reported performing ISBICLS more than 50% of the time, while 85.05% of surgeons chose to perform the second eye surgery 1 day after the first eye surgery. Seventy percent (248) of surgeons performing ISBICLS chose to perform the second eye surgery less than 30 min after the first eye surgery. Surgeons who started ICL surgery earlier (before 2010, OR = 2.772, 95% CI = 1.290-5.957, P = 0.009; 2011-2013, OR = 2.479, 95% CI = 1.060-5.800, P = 0.036), completed one-eye ICL surgery faster (< 3 min, OR = 3.936, 95% CI = 1.505-10.293, P = 0.005) and modified the second eye ICL selection less frequently (1-25%, OR = 0.203, 95% CI = 0.054-0.771, P = 0.019; 26-50%, OR = 0.173, 95% CI = 0.041-0.726, P = 0.017; 51-75%, OR = 0.299, 95% CI = 0.041-0.726, P = 0.123; 76-100%, OR = 0.163, 95% CI = 0.039-0.688, P = 0.014) tended to perform ISBICLS. No significant association was found among clinical settings, preoperative measurement devices, and hospital policies with performing ISBICLS. Regarding their attitudes toward ISBICLS, 54.63% preferred ISBICLS and 45.37% preferred DSBICLS. The main supporting reasons were patient convenience (98.64%), faster vision rehabilitation (73.56%), and improved perioperative compliance (73.22%). The concerns regarding ISBICLS included the risk of endophthalmitis (62.22%), lack of recommendation in expert consensus (61.67%), and decreased vault predictability (60.93%). The most common desires for further adoption were expert consensus on surgical criteria and patient indicators for ISBICLS (82.3%). CONCLUSIONS ISBICLS has been gradually adopted in Mainland China, but has not been widely accepted as a routine procedure. Surgeons' experience and skills mainly influence whether ISBICLS is performed. Further research is needed to explore standardized protocols to prevent endophthalmitis, the appropriate time interval of two eye surgery, and requisitions for surgeon skills.

Abstract
Background To investigate the effects of lighting conditions and accommodation on the three-dimensional position of Visian implantable collamer lens (ICL V4c). Methods This observational study recruited 62 eyes of 31 myopia patients underwent ICL V4c implantation. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) assessed the anterior chamber depth (ACD), ACD-ICL (distance from the corneal endothelium to anterior surface of the ICL V4c), vault (distance between the posterior ICL V4c surface and anterior crystalline lens surface), and crystalline lens tilt under various lighting conditions and accommodation relative to the corneal topographic axis at one year after ICL V4c implantation. Baseline was defined as the scotopic condition, which was also the non-accommodative stimulus condition. The ICL V4c tilt was analyzed using MATLAB. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results The ACD-ICL values were similar under various lighting conditions (P = 0.978) but decreased during accommodation (P < 0.001). The vault was significantly smaller under mesopic and photopic conditions than the baseline (P = 0.044 and P < 0.001, respectively) but remained unchanged during accommodation (P = 0.058). The inferotemporal proportion of ICL V4c (88.7%, 55 eyes) and crystalline lens (74.2%, 46 eyes) tilts were not significantly different (P = 0.063). Crystalline lens under various lighting conditions and accommodation exhibited similar tilts. The vertical tilt of ICL V4c was significantly larger under photopic conditions than the baseline (P = 0.038). The horizontal and total tilts were significantly decreased during accommodation (P = 0.043 and 0.013, respectively). Conclusions The axial position of ICL V4c in the anterior chamber was stable under various lighting conditions. Lighting conditions and accommodation may influence vertical, horizontal and total tilts of ICL V4c.

Changes in Accommodative and Binocular Function following Phakic Intraocular Lens for High and Low-to-Moderate Myopia. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19116716. [PMID: 35682300 PMCID: PMC9180794 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19116716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The aim was to evaluate accommodative and binocular function of phakic intraocular lens implantable collamer lens (ICL) in high and low-to-moderate myopia. Prospective comparative cohort study with 38 myopic patients who underwent ICL implantation were divided into two groups of 19 patients, each one based on the spherical equivalent (SE): high-power (SE ≤ −6 D) and low-to-moderate (SE > −6 D). The push-up amplitude of accommodation (AA), monocular accommodative facility (MAF), distance and near ocular deviation, near convergence amplitude, near point convergence (NPC), stereopsis, and accommodative convergence/accommodation (AC/A) ratio were assessed before surgery and 1 week and 1 month postoperatively. The mean residual refractive error at 1 month after surgery improved in both groups, 0.18 ± 0.34 D and 0.09 ± 0.26 D, respectively (p < 0.001). There was a significant decrease in AA in both groups between preoperatively and at 1-week (p = 0.001; p = 0.008, respectively) and 1-month follow-up (p = 0.001; p = 0.008). For the rest of the binocular measurements, no statistically significant postoperative changes were found in any group. This finding suggests follow-up studies on amplitude of accommodation in phakic intraocular lens ICL implantation.

Abstract
Clinical relevance: Ultrasound biomicroscopy is an objective method for assessing changes in anterior segment biometry. There is a paucity of data on the reliability of this method. A reliable method for assessing anterior segment changes during physiologically driven accommodation can be a useful tool for clinicians, researchers, and industry.Background: To assess the test-retest reliability of ultrasound biomicroscopy for measurements of change in anterior chamber depth during a distance to near fixation task in pseudophakic subjects.Methods: Subjects were adults with monofocal intraocular lenses implanted in both eyes who completed a 6-month post-operative period and had monocular uncorrected distance visual acuity of 6/15 (0.4 logMAR) or better. The change in anterior chamber depth during a distance to near fixation task was measured with a 35-MHz VuMAX HD ultrasound biomicroscopy device (Sonomed Escalon, New Hyde Park, NY) during two separate visits. An asymmetrical vergence paradigm allowed evaluation of anterior segment biometry at 22-µm axial resolution in one eye, while the fellow eye fixated on the target. To assess the test-retest reliability, 2-sided 95% CI from a paired t test was calculated for the difference in anterior chamber depth change from distance to near between visits.Results: The mean (standard deviation) near-focused anterior chamber depth measured by ultrasound biomicroscopy was 4.331 (0.237) and 4.333 (0.241) mm at visits 1 and 2, respectively. In response to a change in fixation from distance (4 m) to near (40 cm), the mean anterior chamber depth change was -0.012 (0.038) and 0.003 (0.039) mm at visits 1 and 2, respectively. Analysis of the difference in the change in anterior chamber depth between visits was -0.015 mm (95% CI, -0.035 to 0.003).Conclusion: Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a repeatable, objective method for assessing change in anterior segment biometry during physiological changes in fixation from distance to near.

Short-term changes in and preoperative factors affecting vaulting after posterior chamber phakic Implantable Collamer Lens implantation. BMC Ophthalmol 2021; 21:199. [PMID: 33957891 PMCID: PMC8101126 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-021-01963-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To describe the very early vault changes in the first month after Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) implantation and to evaluate the effect of preoperative biometric factors on vault. Methods Eighty-three eyes from eighty-three subjects with complete data who met follow-up requirements were recruited in this retrospective study between May 2019 and March 2020. We quantitatively assessed the postoperative vault at 2 h, 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month following implantation. Associations between the postoperative vault and age, ICL size, spherical equivalent (SE), axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), flat keratometry (K), steep K, mean K, anterior chamber depth (ACD), crystalline lens thickness (LT), white-to-white (WTW) diameter obtained by three devices, horizontal and vertical sulcus-to-sulcus (STS) diameter, bright and dark pupil sizes (BPS and DPS) and DPS-BPS were investigated using Spearman’s correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results The mean vault values at 2 h, 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after ICL implantation were 672.05 ± 30.72, 389.15 ± 28.33, 517.23 ± 30.76 and 530.12 ± 30.22 μm, respectively. Significant differences were found in the vault values at 2 h, 1 day and 1 week after the operation. The ICL size (β = 0.942; p < 0.001), followed by horizontal STS (β = -0.517; p < 0.001), crystalline LT (β = -0.376; p < 0.001) and vertical STS (β = -0.257; p = 0.017), significantly influenced the vault at 1 month after the operation. The multiple regression equation was expressed as follows: central vault (µm) = -1369.05 + 657.121 × ICL size- 287.408 × horizontal STS − 432.497 × crystalline LT − 137.33 × vertical STS (adjusted R2 = 0.643). Conclusions After ICL implantation, the vault decreased and then increased, but it did not return to the vault value 2 h after surgery. The ICL size, horizontal and vertical STS and crystalline LT are key factors for predicting postoperative vaulting.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the anterior chamber angle changes after implantation of phakic intraocular lens with and without a central hole for moderate to high myopic eyes in Chinese people.This study enrolled 106 eyes of 54 people with intraocular lens V4 implantation and 105 eyes of 53 people with intraocular lens V4c implantation. Postoperative vault, intraocular pressure, and anterior chamber angle changes were assessed using noncontract tonometer and ultrasound biomicroscope, respectively, at 1, 3, 6, and 12months after the surgery.There were no significant differences (all P > .05) between the 2 groups in the depth of the central vault, intraocular pressure, or the width of anterior chamber angle at any time point post-surgery. The anterior chamber angle width in degree had a baseline of 54.40 ± 10.51 in V4c group, and decreased to 27.80 ± 5.62, 26.95 ± 5.56, 27.32 ± 5.66, 27.04 ± 5.47 at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery, respectively. Mean preoperative value of 50.62 ± 11.77 decreased to 27.28 ± 6.53, 26.82 ± 6.03, 26.61 ± 5.80, 26.83 ± 5.76 at 1, 3, 6, 12 months, respectively, in V4 group. It had sufficient evidence (P < .001) that anterior chamber angle will narrow done after surgery, but there were no statistically significant differences within groups at any time point after surgery.The anterior chamber angle changes of the V4c group was essentially equivalent to that of conventional V4 group, although implantation of both models will lead to the decrease in anterior chamber angle width.

Abstract
Phakic intraocular lenses (pIOL) are the main treatment for patients who have either high ametropia or contraindications for laser refractive surgery. The main feature that makes this kind of lenses suitable for its implantation in young adults searching for independence of optical prescription is the conservation of accommodation, since lens extraction is not required. A systematic review has been performed to evaluate the scientific literature on the effect of pIOL implantation on accommodation. Critical assessment of the articles included in the review was achieved using the tool Critical Appraisal Skills Programme in its Spanish form (CASPe). After revising the complete text of 10 articles pre-selected, two quasi-experimental pre-post studies evaluating the outcomes of a specific model of posterior chamber pIOL were included in the systematic review. The CASPe scoring of both studies were 5/11. According to this outcome, the evidence describing the impact of the pIOL implantation on the accommodative function can be defined poor. Some trends are reported as the decrease in the amplitude of accommodation, a decrease positive relative accommodation and improvement of accommodation. However, these results should be confirmed in future controlled studies.

Vault changes after cyclopentolate instillation in eyes with posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens. Sci Rep 2020; 10:9646. [PMID: 32541775 PMCID: PMC7296012 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-66146-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2020] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation is a common option for correcting moderate-to-high ocular refractive defects. Because this pIOL is implanted on ciliary sulcus, the distance between the back surface of the pIOL and the anterior surface of the crystalline lens, that it is known as vault, should be measured in different conditions to ensure the technique's safety. Cyclopentolate is a drug that dilates the pupil and relaxes accommodation (cycloplegia). It is often used for different ocular examinations and for other medical purposes. However, there is no evidence of the effect of this drug on vault. This study quantified central vault changes associated with cyclopentolate instillation. We measured the vault under normal conditions (pre-cycloplegic instillation) and after instilling cyclopentolate on 39 eyes of 39 patients with implanted pIOL. Our results suggest that cyclopentolate instillation may induce changes to vault in eyes with implanted pIOL. These changes seem safe and are mainly associated with vault under normal conditions, but also with anterior chamber depth, pupillary diameter and pIOL size.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate whether topical pilocarpine affects ocular growth and refractive development as well as the underlying biochemical processes in early eye development in rabbits. METHODS Twenty three-week-old New Zealand white rabbits were treated with 0.5% pilocarpine in the right eye for 6 weeks. The left eyes served as contralateral controls. The effects of pilocarpine on refractive error, corneal curvature and ocular biometrics were assessed using streak retinoscopy, keratometry, and A-scan ultrasonography, respectively. Eyeballs were enucleated for histological analysis. The ciliary body and sclera were homogenized to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of five subtypes of muscarinic receptors. RESULTS Compared to control eyes, pilocarpine-treated eyes exhibited approximately -1.63 ± 0.54 D myopia accompanied by a 0.11 ± 0.04 mm increase in axial length (AL) (p < 0.001, respectively). The anterior chamber depth (ACD) was reduced, whereas the lens thickness (LT) and vitreous chamber depth (VCD) increased (p < 0.001, respectively). Corneal curvature decreased over time but was not significantly different between treated and control eyes. The mRNA and protein expression levels of five subtypes of muscarinic receptors were upregulated in the ciliary body and downregulated in the sclera. CONCLUSIONS Based on these results, pilocarpine can induce myopic shift, increase LT, elongate VCD and AL, and reduce muscarinic receptor expression in the sclera early in development. These changes raise the possibility that pilocarpine may promote axial elongation in ocular development and facilitate the emmetropization of hyperopic eyes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the vault change and anterior segment movement induced by mydriasis in moderate-to-high myopic eyes with implantable collamer lenses (ICL). SETTING Shanghai, China. DESIGN A prospective consecutive observational study. METHODS A total of 45 eyes of 24 patients with ICL V4 implantation and 128 eyes of 65 patients with ICL V4c implantation were included and analyzed. Anterior chamber depth, posterior corneal endothelium-to-ICL distance, and vault before and after mydriasis were measured by Pentacam (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS Significant vault increases and anterior chamber depth increases induced by mydriasis were noted in both ICL V4 and V4c groups at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. The corneal endothelium-ICL distance increased significantly in eyes with implanted ICL V4c after mydriasis at 3 and 6 months. Moreover, mydriasis-induced vault increases were greater in the ICL V4 group than in the ICL V4c group at 3 and 6 months. In eyes with implanted ICL V4c, mydriasis-induced vault increases were significantly greater at 1 month than at 3 and 6 months. CONCLUSION Mydriasis results in a general vault increase in eyes with implanted ICLs. The adjustment of the pressure equilibrium via the central hole of the ICL V4c has an important role in vault change. The mydriasis-induced vault increases tend toward stability after 3 months postoperatively. Mydriasis is relatively safe in eyes with ICL implantation.

Abstract
Background To evaluate clinical factors affecting postoperative vaulting in eyes that had achieved optimal vaulting within the range of 250–750 μm following implantation of 12.6-mm V4c implantable collamer lenses (ICL). Methods A total of 236 eyes of 236 patients that had achieved optimal vaulting following implantation of a 12.6-mm V4c ICL were retrospectively analyzed. Associations between postoperative vaulting and age, preoperative anterior chamber depth (ACD), preoperative axial length (AL), preoperative white-to-white diameter, preoperative pupil size, preoperative sulcus-to-sulcus diameter, and preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent were investigated using simple regression, stepwise multiple regression, and multinomial logistic regression analyses. Results Mean central vaulting at the 6-month follow-up was 519.0 ± 112.8 μm. Variables relevant to postoperative vaulting were, in order of influence, preoperative ACD (β = 0.305, p < 0.001), preoperative pupil size (β = 0.218, p < 0.001), and preoperative AL (β = 0.171, p = 0.006). Low preoperative pupil size was associated with low optimal vaulting (250 to 450 μm), relative to that observed in the mid optimal vaulting group (451 to 550 μm) (odds ratio = 0.532, P = 0.021). Increasing preoperative ACD was associated with high optimal vaulting (551 and 750 μm), relative to that observed the mid optimal vaulting group (odds ratio = 6.340, P = 0.034). Conclusions Myopic eyes with greater preoperative ACD, larger pupil size, and longer AL are predisposed to higher postoperative vaulting following 12.6-mm V4c ICL implantation. Therefore, the extremes of these parameters should be considered when choosing V4c ICL size.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the longitudinal vault changes after implantation of a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) (Visian implantable contact lens) with (ICL V4c) and without (ICL V4) a central artificial hole for moderate to high myopia in Chinese eyes. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS This study comprised 78 eyes implanted with the ICL V4c model and 82 eyes implanted with the ICL V4 model at our department by the same surgeon. The time course of the postoperative pIOL vault changes was quantitatively assessed using ultrasound biomicroscopy over 6 months. RESULTS There was a trend toward a decrease in all measures of central vault, peripheral vault, and the endothelium-anterior pIOL distance for both central hole pIOL and conventional pIOL over time, although the variance was not statistically significant (all P > .05). There were no significant between-group differences in the amount of the pIOL central vault, peripheral vault, or the endothelium-anterior pIOL distance at any time point after surgery (all P > .05). CONCLUSIONS The time course of the central hole pIOL vault changes is essentially equivalent to that of the conventional pIOL vault, suggesting that the presence of the central hole did not significantly affect the pIOL position.

In Vivo Positional Analysis of Implantable Collamer Lens Using Ultrasound Biomicroscopy. J Ophthalmol 2016; 2016:4060467. [PMID: 27672446 PMCID: PMC5031854 DOI: 10.1155/2016/4060467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2016] [Revised: 08/17/2016] [Accepted: 08/23/2016] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose. To evaluate the anterior segment, the anatomical position of the implantable collamer lenses (ICL), and its relationship to adjacent ocular structures using Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM). Methods. In a prospective study, 142 myopic eyes of 93 patients implanted with Visian ICL were subjected to UBM examination between March 2010 and January 2015. The relative position of ICL to the adjacent structure and the overall iris configuration were evaluated. The machine calibers were used to measure the minimum central distance between the ICL and anterior lens capsule (vault) and the vertical central distance between the corneal endothelium and the ICL (E-ICL). Results. The mean ICL vault was 376 ± 105 μm. The mean E-ICL was 2826 ± 331 μm. Contact between ICL and the posterior epithelium of the iris was present in all eyes. The overall iris configuration was flat in 89 eyes. Central anterior convexity was present in 41 eyes and mild peripheral iris bombe in 12 eyes. The haptics could be imaged in the ciliary sulcus in 112 eyes and at least one haptic resting on the lens periphery and zonules in 30 eyes. Conclusion. UBM can provide valuable anatomical information that allows detailed postoperative in vivo assessment of ICL.

Comparison of early changes in and factors affecting vault following posterior chamber phakic Implantable Collamer Lens implantation without and with a central hole (ICL V4 and ICL V4c). BMC Ophthalmol 2016; 16:161. [PMID: 27604229 PMCID: PMC5015244 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-016-0336-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2016] [Accepted: 08/23/2016] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To objectively compare the early changes in vault over time following implantation of an Implantable Collamer Lens without (ICL V4) and with (ICL V4c) a central hole and the respective factors affecting vault change in moderate to high myopia. Methods This prospective study comprised of 38 eyes of 38 patients implanted with ICL V4 and 39 eyes of 39 patients implanted with ICL V4c intraocular lenses. We quantitatively assessed the postoperative values of vault and pupil size at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month following implantation using a rotating Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam). We compared these postoperative values within and between the two groups and identified the factors affecting vault change. Results The mean vaults at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month following ICL V4 implantation were 303.68 ± 185.11, 517.89 ± 160.07 and 521.32 ± 155.72 μm respectively, and those following ICL V4c were 316.67 ± 186.89, 495.13 ± 180.84 and 510.77 ± 175.51 μm, respectively. There was a significant difference in vault between 1 day and 1 week postoperatively. There was a significant association between the vault change and the pupil size change in both groups from 1 day to 1 month postoperatively (Pearman correlation coefficient; ICL V4: r = 0.585, P = 0.001; ICL V4c: r = 0.588, P <0.001). The vault value 1 month after implantation of ICL V4 and ICL V4c was associated with the preoperative anterior chamber depth, horizontal corneal diameter, horizontal and vertical sulcus-to-sulcus. Conclusions Pupil movement is a critical factor in vault change, with increasing vault observed postoperatively from 1 day to 1 week associated with the declining effects of pharmacological miosis and increasing pupil size. The anterior chamber depth, horizontal corneal diameter, horizontal and vertical sulcus-to-sulcus show some correlation with vault.

Am J Ophthalmol 2015; 160:710-6.e1. [PMID: 26189089 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajo.2015.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2015] [Revised: 07/09/2015] [Accepted: 07/10/2015] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate and compare vaulting and movement changes during accommodation in eyes with the V4c and V4 implantable collamer lenses (ICL). DESIGN Comparative, observational case series. METHODS The medical records of 35 eyes (18 patients) with the V4 ICL and 51 eyes (26 patients) with the V4c ICL were retrospectively examined and included in analyses. Anterior chamber depth (ACD), posterior corneal surface-to-ICL distance (endo-ICL distance), pupil size, and postoperative vaulting were evaluated using the Visante anterior chamber optical coherence tomography system. Images were taken during the nonaccommodative and accommodative states 3 months after ICL implantation. Refractive error, keratometry values, axial length, intraocular pressure, and central corneal thickness were evaluated at 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS ICL vaulting did not significantly change during accommodation in eyes with either the V4 or V4c ICL (P = .532 for V4 ICL and P = .415 for V4c ICL). However, significant reductions in ACD, endo-ICL distance, and pupil size were observed during accommodation in both groups. In eyes with a V4 ICL, the change in [Δ] ACD was 0.2 ± 0.1 mm (P < .001), Δendo-ICL distance was 0.2 ± 0.1 mm (P < .001), and Δpupil size was 0.5 ± 0.9 mm (P = .021). For eyes with the V4c ICL, ΔACD was 0.2 ± 0.2 mm (P < .001), Δendo-ICL distance was 0.2 ± 0.2 mm (P < .001), and Δpupil size was 0.8 ± 1.2 mm (P < .001). The mean reductions of each parameter were not statistically different between eyes with the V4 ICL and the V4c ICL. CONCLUSIONS Contrary to the light stimulation response, accommodation does not significantly affect ICL vaulting differently in eyes with either the V4 or V4C ICLs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate longitudinal changes in Implantable Collamer Lens phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) position after implantation. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS Myopic eyes that had pIOL implantation with a follow-up of at least 24 months were evaluated. Ultrasound biomicroscopy examinations were performed at each visit. RESULTS The study enrolled 62 eyes (31 patients; 22 women, 9 men) ranging in age from 21 to 46 years. The manifest spherical equivalent ranged from -8.25 to -18.75 diopters. A significant increase (mean 36 μm±50 [SD]) in the endothelium-anterior pIOL distance occurred between 1 month and 3 months (P=.000); afterward, the distance decreased slowly (P>.05). The largest decrease (mean 47±17 μm) in central vault occurred between 1 month and 3 months (P=.009). The largest decrease (mean 21±14 μm) in peripheral vault occurred between 1 month and 3 months (P=.000). CONCLUSIONS A significant increase in the endothelium-anterior pIOL distance occurred from 1 month to 3 months postoperatively, after which a slight decrease occurred over time. Central vault and peripheral vault had a tendency to decrease over time. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate a clinical procedure based on trial rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses fitting to assess the real pre-operative visual acuity (VA) of highly myopic eyes undergoing surgery with an implantable collamer lens. METHODS Highly myopic eyes with a spectacle visual acuity (SVA) of 0.2 logMAR (6/9.6 Snellen) or worse were enrolled. A trial RGP contact lens with high dioptric power was fitted before collamer lens implantation. The trial contact lens residual refractive error was corrected by spectacle over-refraction to estimate contact lens VA (CLVA). The three-month post-operative uncorrected vision and visual acuities were also measured. The safety and efficacy indices of collamer lens implantation were calculated based on pre-operative SVA and CLVA, respectively. RESULTS The study enrolled 42 patients with 68 highly myopic eyes with a mean pre-operative spherical equivalent of -16.40 ± 4.43 D. The mean pre-operative SVA was 0.38 ± 0.19 logMAR. Pre-operative trial RGP contact lens fitting resulted in a significant improvement of VA (2.02 ± 1.05 lines), which was statistically insignificantly different from the VA with the implantable collamer lens (2.07 ± 0.8 lines). The safety index of collamer lens implantation was 1.70 ± 0.38 in reference to the pre-operative SVA but significantly decreased to 1.02 ± 0.17 in reference to CLVA. Similarly, the efficacy index of 1.17 ± 0.48 on SVA decreased to 0.71 ± 0.28 on CLVA. CONCLUSIONS Trial RGP contact lens fitting was found to indicate the potential implantable collamer lens VA more accurately than spectacle refraction. Consideration should be given to the use a trial RGP contact lens as part of the pre-operative work-up prior to collamer lens implantation in order to provide an assessment of the patient's potential post-operative VA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the correlation between white-to-white (WTW) diameters and horizontal ciliary sulcus diameters at different anterior chamber depths (ACDs) in highly myopic eyes. SETTING First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China. DESIGN Cross-sectional observational study. METHODS Highly myopic eyes were divided into a shallow ACD group (2.8 to 3.2 mm), medium ACD group (3.2 to 3.4 mm), and deep ACD group (>3.4 mm). Ciliary sulcus diameters were measured by full-scale 50 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy. RESULTS In the shallow ACD group, linear regression showed that horizontal sulcus diameters were a significant predictor of WTW diameters (P<.001). The difference between them was greater than 0.50 mm in 13.1% of eyes. In the medium ACD group, linear regression showed horizontal sulcus diameters were a significant predictor of WTW diameters (P<.001). The difference between them was greater than 0.50 mm in 25.7% of eyes and greater than 1.0 mm in 2.8% of eyes. In the deep ACD group, linear regression did not show that horizontal sulcus diameters were a significant predictor of WTW diameters (P=.126). The difference between them was greater than 0.50 mm in 31.6% of eyes and greater than 1.0 mm in 5.3% of eyes. In all eyes, vertical diameters were greater than horizontal diameters. CONCLUSIONS The WTW technique was inaccurate at predicting the horizontal diameter of the ciliary sulcus, and predictive errors increased with increasing ACDs. The posterior chambers were not perfectly circular, with vertical diameters being greater than horizontal diameters.
