Abstract
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (transPRK) with femtosecond laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) for the correction of astigmatism on amblyopic eyes. Methods: The design was a retrospective interventional study on 37 eyes with hyperopic or mixed astigmatism and refractive amblyopia, which underwent transPRK or FS-LASIK. The patients were distributed into 2 groups according to the technique used. Data was collected from patient files and comparison between groups was performed. The main outcomes measured were corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), sphere, cylinder, spherical equivalent (SEQ), efficiency and safety indexes. Results: In the transPRK group, SEQ improved significantly after 1 month, from 2.08 ± 2.02D (p<0.01) to 0.125 ± 0.86D and at the 12 month visit to -0.04 ± 0.62D (p>0.05), sphere improved from 4.03 ± 1.44D preoperatively to 0.67 ± 0.9D at 1 month (p<0.05) and further to 0.44 ± 0.71 at 12 months (p<0.05). CDVA improved from 0.194 ± 0.11 logMAR to 0.115 ± 0.1 logMAR at the 1-year visit. Safety index after 1 month was 1.09 ± 0.2 and 1.12 ± 0.35 at the 1-year visit. Efficiency index was 0.95 ± 0.22 at 1 month and 1.03 ± 0.34 after 1 year. In FS-LASIK group, SEQ improved after 1 month, from 2.28 ± 3.04 to -0.79 ± 0.73D (p<0.01), and further to -0.49 ± 0.79 (p>0.05) at the 12 month visit, sphere improved from 4.11 ± 2.35D preoperatively to -0.42 ± 0.66D at 1 month (p<0.05) and further to -0.08 ± 0.75D at 12 months (p<0.05). CDVA also improved from 0.191 ± 0.1 logMAR to 0.140 ± 0.1 logMAR at 1 year. Safety index after 1 month was 1.1 ± 0.2 and 1.16 ± 0.21 at the 1-year visit. Efficiency index was 0.98 ± 0.27 at 1 month and 1.06 ± 0.23 after 1 year. Conclusion: Both procedures were safe and efficient in improving visual acuity for patients with mixed and hyperopic astigmatism and refractive amblyopia. Abbreviations: transPRK = transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy, FS-LASIK = femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis, logMAR = logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution, BCVA = best corrected distance visual acuity, CDVA = corrected distance visual acuity.

Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the factors related to corrected distance vision acuity (CDVA) after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation in patients with preoperative suboptimal CDVA.Methods: This retrospective study included patients with suboptimal preoperative CDVA (CDVA ≤20/25) who underwent ICL implantation (V4 or V4c). Preoperative and postoperative clinical evaluations included CDVA, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), and refraction.Results: A total of 1,212 eyes from 731 patients were identified. CDVA increased in 90.8% of the eyes after surgery. Among them, 57.5% of the eyes (697 eyes) gained more than one line. The preoperative LogMAR CDVA was 0.32 ± 0.23, which significantly improved to 0.13 ± 0.17 postoperatively (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between ICL V4c and ICL V4 in the LogMAR UDVA, sphere, cylinder, SE, LogMAR CDVA, efficacy index, and safety index after surgery (p > 0.05). For eyes with full correction, the postoperative LogMAR CDVA =0.575 * preoperative LogMAR CDVA -0.061 (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.53). For eyes with partial correction, the postoperative LogMAR CDVA =0.536 * preoperative LogMAR CDVA - 0.007 * SE - 0.196 (P < 0.001, R2 = 0.55).Conclusion: ICL implantation can improve CDVA in eyes with suboptimal CDVA. This study provides the postoperative outcomes of eyes with different preoperative CDVA, which makes it convenient for surgeons to communicate with such patients before surgery.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the clinical results of posterior chamber implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation in adults with high myopic anisometropic amblyopia. Thirteen patients aged 27.04±7.24y (range 19.2 to 42.5) were studied. ICL implantation was performed in 13 amblyopic eyes. The mean myopic anisometropia was significantly dropped from -10.70±3.02 D preoperatively to +0.09±1.67 D at 1mo postoperatively. The logMAR CDVA at 3d, 1, 3 and mean 9mo postoperatively improved by a mean of 1.69, 2.50, 3.01 and 3.00 lines and gained more than 2 lines accounted for 23.08% (3 eyes), 41.67% (5 eyes), 63.63% (7 eyes) and 55.56% (5 eyes), respectively. The contrast sensitivity of amblyopic eyes was significantly increased after surgery. Four patients partially recovered near stereopsis (400″ to 100″). There was no severe complications were observed. ICL implantation alone can improve vision, contrast sensitivity, and partial restoration of binocular vision in adult patients with high myopic anisometropia.

Verisyse versus Veriflex Phakic Intraocular Lenses: Refractive Outcomes and Endothelial Cell Density 5 Years after Surgery. J Ophthalmol 2018; 2018:4210460. [PMID: 30363928 PMCID: PMC6186327 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4210460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2018] [Revised: 08/11/2018] [Accepted: 08/26/2018] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To compare refractive stability, central endothelial cell density (ECD), and complications between Verisyse (Abbott Medical Optics, Netherlands) and Veriflex (Abbott Medical Optics, Netherlands) phakic intraocular lenses (pIOL) over five years. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent Verisyse or Veriflex pIOL implantation for surgical correction of myopia. Patients with a 5-year follow-up period were included in the study. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), spherical equivalent of manifest refraction (SE), and ECD were compared between the groups preoperatively and 1, 3, and 5 years postoperatively. Results The study included 47 eyes in the Verisyse group and 50 eyes in the Veriflex group. There was no significant difference in mean SE, UDVA, CDVA, and ECD preoperatively or postoperatively. In both groups, there was a statistically significant myopic shift between 1-year and 5-year visits (−0.25 ± 0.30 D and −0.23 ± 0.48 D in the Verisyse and Veriflex groups, respectively). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of efficacy and safety indexes at 5 years. ECD loss was highest during the first year (3.9% loss in the Verisyse group and 3.9% loss in the Veriflex group, p=0.670). At 5 years, the mean cumulative ECD losses in the Verisyse and Veriflex groups were 7.42% and 7.64%, respectively (p=0.709). Cataracts developed in 2.1% of the eyes in the Verisyse group and in 2.0% of those in the Veriflex group. No sight-threatening complications were observed. Conclusion Verisyse and Veriflex pIOLs are highly effective for treating high myopia up to 5 years after surgery. Longitudinal studies with longer follow-up periods are necessary to determine the endothelial safety profile.

Early Results with a New Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens in Patients with High Myopia. J Ophthalmol 2018; 2018:1329874. [PMID: 30018818 PMCID: PMC6029447 DOI: 10.1155/2018/1329874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2018] [Accepted: 05/03/2018] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To report clinical results of a foldable, hydrophilic acrylic, single-piece, injectable, posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (pIOL). Material and Methods Medical records of patients who underwent posterior chamber phakic IOL (Eyecryl Phakic IOL, Biotech Vision Care, Ahmedabad, India) implantation for surgical correction of myopia were retrospectively reviewed. Only patients with at least a one-year follow-up were included. Manifest refraction, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), endothelial cell density (ECD), and pIOL vault were analyzed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Complications observed during and after surgery were also recorded. Results The study included 58 eyes of 29 patients. Mean patient age was 32 ± 7 years. Spherical equivalent of manifest refraction was −13.41 ± 3.23 D preoperatively and −0.44 ± 0.55 D postoperatively. Preoperative CDVA was 0.29 ± 0.71 logMAR. Postoperative UDVA and CDVA were 0.21 ± 0.66 and 0.15 ± 0.69 logMAR, respectively, at the 12-month visit. At the 12-month visit, the efficacy index was 1.20 and the safety index was 1.39. Mean ECD was 2713 ± 339 cells/mm2 at the preoperative visit and 2608 ± 362 cells/mm2 at the 12-month visit (3.9% loss, p < 0.001). ECD loss from 3 months to 12 months was not statistically significant. No significant cataract formation, significant endothelial cell loss, glaucoma, uveitis, or any other vision-threatening complication was observed. Conclusion Based on postoperative experience, we have found that Eyecryl Phakic IOL is safe and effective for treating high myopia.
