Izquierdo L, Imken FC, Larco P, Chauca J, Henriquez MA. Comparison of the Biometric Characteristics After Long-term Implantation of Iris-fixated Phakic Intraocular Lens in Explanted and Nonexplanted Groups of Eyes. Am J Ophthalmol 2024; 265:54-60. [PMID: 38395331 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajo.2024.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the biometric characteristics of the anterior chamber of a group of patients with significant endothelial cell loss (ECL) who required phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) explantation and a group of patients who did not fulfill the explantation criteria related to corneal decompensation. DESIGN Retrospective, consecutive, interventional case series. METHODS The study included all consecutive patients receiving a pIOL implantation at Oftalmosalud Instituto de Ojos, Lima, Peru, between 2001 and 2012. The explanted group (E group) consisted of eyes in which the pIOLs were explanted due to ECL, and the nonexplanted group (NE group) consisted of eyes randomly selected in which the pIOL was not explanted with a minimum follow-up time of 8 years. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy, visual acuity, refraction, endothelial cell count, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography were assessed at the preoperative evaluation for both groups and before explantation in the E group and 8 years post-implantation in the NE group. RESULTS pIOLs were implanted in 265 eyes. The annual percentage of ECL was 1.47% and 5.55% in the NE group and E group, respectively (P < .001). The mean minimum endothelial lens distance (ELD) was 1.44 ± 0.22 mm and 1.05 ± 0.23 mm in the NE group and E group, respectively (P < 0.001). The mean time for explantation was 12.58 ± 3.79 years for the E group. Annual ECL could accurately discriminate between the NE group and E group; a cutoff point of 3.5 (%/year) or 86.5 (cells/years) had a 100% sensitivity and specificity. A cutoff of 1.21 mm in the minimum ELD has a 91% sensitivity and 79% specificity to discriminate between the E group and NE group. CONCLUSIONS pIOL explantation due to ECL occurs in eyes with a significantly postoperative lower minimum ELD. Annual ECL and minimum ELC can effectively discriminate between the E and NE groups.

Abstract
Even after a successful corneal transplant, patients experience severe refractive errors, impeding their rehabilitation and satisfaction. Refractive errors can be caused by recipient pathology and corneal thickness, as well as intraoperative factors such as donor-host discrepancy, recipient's eccentric trephination, vitreous length, wound apposition, technique of suturing, and suture material. Also, wound healing and the interim between keratoplasty and suture removal contribute to astigmatism. Lamellar keratoplasty outperforms penetrating keratoplasty in terms of endothelial cell loss and endothelial graft rejection, yet the risk of developing refractive errors is comparable. Nonsurgical interventions such as spectacles and lenses fail to provide desirable vision in cases with high astigmatism and corneal irregularity. When these limitations are encountered, surgical interventions including incisional keratotomy, wedge resection, laser refractive surgeries, intracorneal segments, and intraocular lens implantation are employed. However, occasionally, none of these approaches deliver the desired effects, leading to the need for a repeat keratoplasty.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the visual outcomes of two phakic intraocular lenses in high myopia. METHODS A prospective comparative study was undertaken on 50 eyes of 26 patients {age ≥21 years and divided into two groups (implantable collamer lens [ICL] V4c, n=25 eyes and refractive implantable lens [RIL], n=25 eyes)}. Patients were evaluated for uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity, manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE), contrast sensitivity, intraocular pressure, dilated fundus examination, trabecular-iris angle (TIA), anterior chamber depth, horizontal white-to-white diameter, wavefront aberrometry, and endothelial cell (EC) count. All patients were followed up until 6 months and additionally evaluated for anterior chamber inflammation, cataract, and lens vault. RESULTS The baseline parameters (UCVA, MRSE, and EC count) and postoperative improvement in UCVA, contrast sensitivity, MRSE, EC loss, safety index, and efficacy index were comparable between both the lenses. The improvement in aberrometric profile was significantly better in the ICL group. The mean postoperative vault was higher in RIL group (434.88±162.48 μm vs. 547.24±159.83 μm, P=0.0173); however, the vault was within normal range in both the groups. The decrease in mean TIA was significantly higher in RIL group (8.58 vs. 13.45 μm, P=0.0073). CONCLUSION Acrylic phakic lens can be considered as a suitable alternative to collamer lens for refractive correction of high myopia. The collamer lenses showed slight superiority in some qualitative visual parameters; however, collamer lenses do not present with subjective complaints in the patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the 2-year visual and refractive outcomes with the Eyecryl Phakic Toric IOL (EP TIOL) (Biotech Vision Care Pvt Ltd) and Visian Toric ICL (TICL) (STAAR Surgical) for correction of high myopic astigmatism. METHODS This prospective, interventional, non-randomized comparison study included eligible patients who underwent toric phakic IOL surgery in one or both eyes with either the EP TIOL or TICL for myopic astigmatism. Two years postoperatively, both lenses were compared for their safety, efficacy, stability, and patient satisfaction. Vector analysis of astigmatism was performed using the Alpins method with the ASSORT software (ASSORT Party Ltd). RESULTS A total of 50 eyes were included, of which 25 eyes received EP TIOL implantation and the remaining 25 received TICL implantation. Preoperative mean ± standard deviation of spherical equivalent (SE) and cylinder was -10.15 ± 4.04 and -2.08 ± 0.86 diopters (D) in the EP TIOL group and -10.21 ± 3.97 and -2.17 ± 0.95 D in the TICL group, respectively. At 2 years of follow-up, there was no significant difference between the mean uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, spherical equivalent, and residual astigmatism between the two groups (P > .05 for all parameters). Ninety-two percent of eyes in the EP TIOL group and 88% of eyes in the TICL group were within ±0.50 D of refractive astigmatism. Vector analysis of astigmatism showed a comparable Correction Index of 0.98 in the EP TIOL group and 0.94 in the TICL group, signifying a mild undercorrection of 2% and 6%, respectively. Two eyes in the TICL group underwent exchange for high vault and one eye required realignment due to significant postoperative rotation. CONCLUSIONS At least for the first 2 years postoperatively, both toric phakic IOLs were safe and effective in managing high myopic astigmatism with comparable visual results and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Ectatic corneal diseases are a group of disorders resulting in progressive corneal steepening and thinning. Keratoconus, keratoglobus, pellucid marginal degeneration, post-keratorefractive ectasia, and corneal graft ectasia are the types of corneal ectasia. Early diagnosis with appropriate diagnostic tools can help prevent progression, eliminating the need for corneal transplantation. Lamellar or full thickness corneal transplantation are the treatment options for advanced diseases. Although the visual outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty are comparable to anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) especially in keratoconus, ALK is the preferred treatment of choice considering benefits including reduced graft rejection, less long-term complications, and better graft survival. This article reviews the various surgical techniques in ALK with its clinical outcomes in advanced keratoconus.

Abstract
Purpose To demonstrate the visual outcomes of a foldable, hydroxy ethyl-methacrylate, single-piece, posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (pIOL). Study Type Retrospective study. Materials and Methods Patients presenting with moderate to high myopia who underwent surgical correction with a posterior chamber phakic IOL (refractive intraocular lens, phakic intraocular lens, Appasamy Associates, Chennai, India) were retrospectively reviewed. Only patients with at least 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 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative events were recorded in all cases. Results The study included 30 eyes from 15 patients. The mean patient age was 25.8 ± 3 years. The spherical equivalent of manifest refraction was −11.47 ± 4.38 D preoperatively and −0.44 ± 0.55 D postoperatively. The preoperative CDVA was 0.17 ± 0.12 logMAR. The postoperative UDVA was 0.053 ± 0.11 logMAR (min: −0.17 and max: 0.2) and 0.019 ± 0.091 logMAR (min: −0.17 and max: 0.2) at the end of 1 month and 6 months, respectively. At the end of the 12-month visit, the postoperative UDVA was 0.032 ± 0.094, and the safety index was 2.42. The mean ECD was 2639 cells/mm2 (min: 2389 and max: 2993 with SD: 139.53) at the preoperative visit and 2445 cells/mm2 (min: 2050 and max: 2701) at the 12-month visit (5.8% loss, p less than 0.001). ECD loss from 6 months to 12 months was not statistically significant. No significant cataract formation, significant endothelial cell loss, glaucoma, uveitis, or any other vision-threatening complication were observed. Conclusion Based on postoperative experience, we found that RIL phakic IOLs are safe and effective for treating high myopia at short-term follow-up.

Abstract
The prevalence of myopia is much higher than hyperopia. Hence, there are relatively few studies investigating phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation for the correction of hyperopia. This review aimed to summarize the available relevant literature on the efficacy and safety of pIOL implantation for the correction of hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism. At present, two types of pIOLs are used to correct hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism: anterior chamber iris-fixated pIOLs and posterior chamber implantable collamer lenses. Both have been found to be safe and effective. No serious events (eg, retinal or choroidal detachment, endophthalmitis) were reported in the reviewed articles. Implantation of pIOLs might be the optimal refractive surgery for the correction of high hyperopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the visual outcomes, safety, efficacy, and causes of bilensectomy for iris fixated phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs). METHODS This was a two center consecutive retrospective study that included 43 eyes that underwent iris-claw pIOL bilensectomy. Patients with follow up less than 4 months were excluded from the study. Uncorrected, corrected visual acuity (UCVA, CDVA), refractive outcomes, efficacy, safety (number of eyes in which the postoperative CDVA was worse than the preoperative CDVA), endothelial cell density (ECD), causes of bilensectomy, the time between the implantation of the pIOL and bilensectomy, intra and postoperative complications were analyzed. RESULTS There was a statistically significant improvement in UCVA and CDVA after surgery (p = 0.001). The efficacy index was 0.7, four eyes had a postoperative CDVA worse than the preoperative CDVA. The mean spherical equivalent 1 year after bilensectomy was -0.78 ± 1.70 D. There was a statistically significant endothelial cell loss after iris claw lens bilensectomy (p = .003). Cataract development and endothelial cell loss were the only reasons for bilensectomy. The mean time between pIOL implantation and bilensectomy was 12.2 ± 5.5 years. One patient had corneal edema 8 months after surgery and one had a retinal detachment 11 months after surgery. CONCLUSION Bilensectomy was successful in improving UCVA and CDVA with an acceptable refractive outcome. Significant loss of ECD was found after surgery. The results recommend a larger ACD as selection criteria when choosing to implant an Artisan lens, and a close postoperative monitoring of the endothelial cell count.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the effect of a novel technique to correct presbyopia. A phakic IOL (presbyopic IPCL; implantable phakic contact lens) with a diffractive optic is implanted and its impact on visual acuity, refraction, patient satisfaction in patients striving for spectacle-independence is evaluated. Design Retrospective noncomparative open-label clinical trial. Methods Sixteen eyes of 8 patients (average age 47 years) had a presbyopic IPCL implanted in the posterior chamber. The visual acuity on different distances, refractive status, corneal topography, endothelial cell density, anterior chamber depth, white-to-white, mesopic pupil size and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured before implantation of this novel phakic IOL with diffractive optic and four weeks after surgery. Results At follow-up four weeks after surgery, 9 of the 16 eyes were emmetropic and uncorrected distance visual acuity was at least 0.8. Near vision was excellent in all patients without the need to wear reading glasses. There was neither a significant change in IOP nor a significant surgical impact on endothelial cells. Patient satisfaction was high. There was no major complaint of halos or glare. Conclusion The presbyopic IPCL can provide the presbyopic patient with good visual acuity and spectacle-independence for far and near distance. We found this novel technique to have a good safety profile during the surgical procedure and our short follow-up period. Further long-term follow-up is mandatory.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the safety, efficacy, refractive outcomes and causes for bilensectomy (phakic intraocular lens – pIOL – explantation with cataract surgery and pseudophakic intraocular lens implantation) in patients previously implanted with posterior chamber pIOLs. Methods This multi-center retrospective study included 87 eyes of 55 patients who underwent bilensectomy for posterior chamber pIOL with a follow up time of 12 months. The uncorrected and best corrected distance visual acuities (UDVA, CDVA), endothelial cell density before and after bilensectomy were assessed, as well as the cause of bilensectomy and intra or postoperative complications. Results There was a statistically significant improvement in uncorrected and best corrected visual acuities after bilensectomy (p = 0.00). The main reason for bilensectomy was cataract development (93.1% of the cases), followed by miscalculation of lens size, and corneal edema. The endothelial cell count remained stable without a statistically significant change after surgery (p = 0.67). The refractive efficacy index was 0.8, none of the patients lost lines of CDVA after surgery, 73% of the patients were within ±1 D (spherical equivalent) of the target refraction. Intraoperative complications were one posterior capsule rupture with the intraocular lens (IOL) implanted in the sulcus, and 3 eyes required the use of pupil expanders for adequate pupil dilation. Postoperatively, one eye developed retinal detachment. The three pIOLs models explanted were the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL), Implantable Phakic Contact Lens (IPCL) and the Phakic Refractive Lens (PRL). Conclusions Good safety and visual outcomes were observed 1 year after bilensectomy for posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (PC pIOLs). There were few intra and postoperative complications and there was no significant endothelial cell loss after the bilensectomy procedure.

Results A 26-year-old man with high myopia had implantation of a −14.0 diopter, foldable, iris-claw Artiflex (model 401) anterior chamber pIOL (Ophtec B.V.) in both eyes. On the third postoperative day, the patient had significant postoperative inflammation in the left eye and received topical steroids and mydriatic eye drops. On the fifth postoperative day, the right eye had a round pupil and centered pIOL, but the left eye had an atrophic iris and dilated pupil with significant posterior synechias over the inferior half of the pupil. Despite intensive topical steroid application, the synechias remained one year after surgery. Conclusion Severe uveitis with posterior synechia can occur after iris-claw pIOL implantation. We hypothesized that excessive iris tissue enclavation in the pIOLs haptics and large iridotomies may be an associated factor.

Abstract
Background To compare the intraocular scattering before and after implantation of implantable collamer lens (ICL) V4c for correction of high myopia in a short term. Methods In this study, 38 eyes of 19 patients who underwent the implantation of ICL V4c were followed up for 3 months. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), objective scattering index (OSI), modulation transfer function cutoff frequency (MTF cutoff), strehl ratio (S/R), OV100%, OV20% and OV9% were measured pre- and postoperatively. Meantime, the Pseudophakic Dysphotopsia Questionnaire (PDQ) was scored to evaluate the subjective satisfaction of intraocular scattering pre- and postoperatively. Results The UCVA were − 0.02 ± 0.06, − 0.03 ± 0.07 and − 0.04 ± 0.07 logMAR at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively which were significantly better than those preoperatively (P < 0.05). The BCVA were − 0.09 ± 0.09, − 0.09 ± 0.1 and − 0.1 ± 0.11 logMAR at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery, which were better than those before surgery significantly (t = 15.64, P < 0.05). The mean OSI were 2.37 ± 1.6, 1.63 ± 0.94, 1.5 ± 0.86 and 1.43 ± 1.05 preoperatively, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively which was found significant difference (F = 12.92 P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in MTF cut off (F = 0.61, P = 0.62), S/R (F = 0.58, P = 0.36), OV100% (F = 0.966, P = 0.65), OV20% (F = 0.121, P = 0.96) and OV9% (F = 1.01, P = 0.30) between pre- and postoperatively. The PDQ results indicated that intraocular scattering reduced at 3 months after surgery significantly (P < 0.05). Conclusions The ICL V4c implantation for correcting high myopia induced less intraocular scattering and visual disorder than spectacle correction.

Transient crystalline lens deposits following the insertion of a phakic sulcus-fixated collamer intraocular lens in a hyperopic eye. Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep 2020; 17:100598. [PMID: 31993533 PMCID: PMC6974734 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajoc.2020.100598] [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: 03/24/2019] [Revised: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 01/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to report crystalline lens deposit formation following ICL implantation for the correction of hyperopia. Observations A 23-year-old male presented at the American University of Beirut Medical Center in 2008 seeking refractive surgery for hyperopia. His cycloplegic refraction was +7–1.25 × 115° and +7–1.00 × 115° in the right and left eyes, respectively, yielding a vision of 20/20 bilaterally. The patient underwent right eye insertion of a non-toric phakic sulcus-fixated collamer lens 2 weeks after undergoing peripheral iridotomies. The early postoperative course was complicated by anterior chamber inflammation and the appearance of diffuse whitish precipitates on the anterior surface of the crystalline lens, hypotony, and a mid-dilated mildly reactive pupil. With the prompt administration of topical and systemic steroids, the anterior chamber reaction subsided, and the anterior capsular deposits gradually resolved peripherally with some remaining centrally over the course of several weeks. The patient's visual acuity at 6 months was 20/20. Conclusionsand importance Adequate viscoelastic removal and minimal iris stimulation seem to be essential to avoid this condition in hyperopic implants that lack a central port. Additionally, prompt treatment can minimize visual impairment and hasten visual recovery.

Abstract
AIM To compare Visian lens (model V4c) and Artiflex lens regarding quality (contrast sensitivity) and quantity (efficacy, predictability, safety and stability) of vision in correcting high myopia with recording and analysis of complications. METHODS The comparative prospective study included 39 eyes of 23 patients with high myopia, 19 eyes had Visian lens implantation (model V4c) and 20 eyes had Artiflex lens implantation. The inclusion criteria were high myopia (higher than 6.0 D) and stable refraction (<0.5 D change over one year). Outcomes included assessment of safety and efficacy indices, predictability, stability, contrast sensitivity and analysis of complications at postoperative 1d, 1wk and 1, 3, 6 and 12mo. Selection of the type of phakic intraocular lens for patients was based on surgeons' preferences, which was no specific selection criteria. RESULTS After 12mo of follow up, difference in uncorrected and corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA) between both groups was statistically insignificant (UDVA for VisianV4c and Artiflex lens were 0.33±0.2 logMAR and 0.37±0.2 logMAR respectively, P=0.59, CDVA for VisianV4c and Artiflex lens were 0.155±0.1 logMAR and 0.147± 0.1 logMAR respectively, P=0.87). The efficacy index was 1.25 for VisianV4c lens and 0.8 for Artiflex lens, 78.9% of eyes were within one diopter spherical equivalent in Visian V4c lens group compared to 70% in the Artiflex lens group. No eye lost lines of CVDA proving a good safety index for both lenses (safety index was 1.67 for VisianV4c lens and 1.34 for Artiflex lens). Difference in contrast sensitivity between both groups was statistically insignificant (P=0.15, 0.88, 0.27, 0.32 and 0.82 at five spatial frequencies). CONCLUSION Both Visian ICL V4c and Artiflex lenses are safe and effective with stable and predictable refraction and they have comparable contrast sensitivity outcomes with no vision threatening complications.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the corneal safety, intraocular pressure (IOP), vault and refractive efficiency of the new implantable phakic contact lens, IPCL V2.0 (Care Group, India). A prospective case series study was performed to evaluate 100 consecutive surgeries with IPCL V2.0 (spherical and toric models). Refractive results, corneal endothelial cell density (CD) and central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured at baseline and 6 months after surgery. Intraocular pressure was measured at baseline, 1 day and 6 months, and vault, 3 and 6 months after surgery. Surgical complications and cataract development were also evaluated. The mean corneal endothelial CD decreased by 2.9% with a statistically significance difference (p: 0.03). The mean CCT decreased by 0.87% at 6 months postoperative, without a statistical significance difference (p: 0.35). The mean ± standard deviation (SD) of IOP at baseline was 13.72 ±1.4 mm Hg, at 1 day postoperative was 13.88 ±1.2 mm Hg, and at 6 months was 13.62 ±1.3 mm Hg. These differences were not statistically significant (p: 0.37). The difference in vault between 3 and 6 months after surgery was not statistically significant (p: 0.97). The coefficient of correlation between the attempted versus achieved spherical equivalent (SE) change was R2: 0.958. Postoperative SE was between -0.50 D to +0.50 D in 52% of cases. The remaining of the eyes had SE values ranging from -1.5 D to +1.35 D. No intra or postoperative complications occurred and specifically cataract was not developed. The corneal endothelial CD, CCT, vault and IOP remained stable 6 months after surgery. Refraction was improved and the IPCL V 2.0 was implanted safely.

Abstract
Purpose Keratoconus is a progressive disease of the cornea which can lead to blindness as irregular astigmatism increases. Currently, a variety of methods are available for the treatment of keratoconus, and in certain cases, it may be difficult to choose the most appropriate option. This article reviews available treatment modalities for keratoconus to provide the practitioner with practical and useful information for selecting the most suitable option for each individual patient. Methods To review treatment methods for different stages of keratoconus, PubMed (United States National Library of Medicine) and Scopus (Elsevier BV) databases were searched using the keywords “keratoconus”, “contact lens”, “cross-linking”, “Intacs”, “keratoplasty”, “gene therapy”, and “irregular astigmatism”, and related articles were reviewed based on disease assessment parameters and treatment methods. Results Various methods are available for the treatment of keratoconus: eyeglasses and contact lenses in the early stages, cross-linking for stabilizing disease progression, intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) for reducing refractive errors or flattening the cornea, and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), conductive keratoplasty, gene therapy and more recently, bowman layer transplantation (BL transplantation) in advanced stages of the disease. To achieve optimum results, it is essential to choose the best option for each individual patient. Conclusions A commonality of the reviewed papers was the advancement of novel diagnostic and treatment methods in ophthalmology, which can delay the need for corneal grafting. A better understanding of keratoconus treatment options can help enhance visual rehabilitation and prevent blindness in keratoconus patients.

Abstract
We present here the case of a 24-year-old male who experienced progressive keratoconus and vision loss which adversely affected his ability to carry out everyday tasks. This landed him in the Hashmanis Hospital for consultation. He had a preoperative best corrected visual acuity of 6/12. He underwent multiple Oculus Pentacam examinations, which showed progressive keratoconus. Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) was performed to stabilize his cornea and, subsequently, an Artiflex anterior chamber iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (ACIF-PIOL) was implanted to alleviate his refractive errors. The patient achieved a postoperative uncorrected visual acuity of 6/12. This report shows that CXL combined with ACIF-PIOL can be safe and effective in those with progressive keratoconus.
