For IOL power selection in previously myopic patients, a predictive formula to calculate IOL power based only on the pre-refractive surgery SEQ(m) and current flattest keratometry readings was not statistically different from IOL(exact). The IOL(HisKs), which was also not statistically different from IOL(exact), requires pre-refractive surgery keratometry readings that are often not available to the cataract surgeon.
We report a case of a new syndrome, late asymmetric vault of the AT45 Crystalens intraocular lens (IOL) (Eyeonics Inc.). The late vault, which occurred in 6 month after implantation of the IOL, caused a decrease in uncorrected distance and near acuities and minus-cylinder axis perpendicular to the haptics. Treatment with neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy and fibrotic band release was successful.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
