Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate long-term quality of visual related daily activities after Central Hole Collamer Lens implantation to treat myopia and myopic astigmatism. Methods: This retrospective study included 46 eyes (23 patients) receiving an ICL-V4c implantation. The follow up time was at least 24 m. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction, eye axis, intraocular pressure, endothelial cell density (ECD), vault, and the patients’ satisfaction related to vision related daily activities were recorded at 6 m and 24 m. Results: The mean spherical equivalents were -0.14 ± 0.21 D and -0.12 ± 0.33 D at 6 m and 24 m after surgery, respectively. UCVA of all eyes were equal to or better than preoperative BCVA. The BCVA at 6 m and 24 m after implantation were -0.03 ± 0.08 LogMAR, and −0.03 ± 0.11 LogMAR, respectively, which was statistically better (P = 0.031) than that of pre-operation value of 0.07 ± 0.12 LogMAR. There was no significant differences (P > 0.05) between the pre operation and post operation ECD.At 24 m post operation, 10% of the patients complained of difficulty driving at night, but most of patient had satisfactory or very satisfactory vision-related daily activity scores. Some patients, 13%, were worried about the long-term safety and efficacy of the V4c-ICL implantation. Conclusions: Patients were very satisfied with their vision related daily activities after V4c-ICL implantation. With time, some patients worried about the permanent safety and efficacy.
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.
