Three-Year Results of Artisan/Verisyse Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

5-Year Prospective Follow-Up of Artisan Phakic Intraocular Lenses for the Correction of Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigmatism

“…One patient required cataract surgery 3 years after phakic IOL implantation, 1 eye developed a retinal detachment and 1 eye had macular haemorrhage. Stulting et al [14], in a 3-year follow-up study of Artisan/Verisyse phakic IOLs, reported excellent refractive predictability with 71.7% of eyes within ±0.5 D of target refraction and 94.7% within ±1.0 D postoperatively in high myopes. The mean reduction in endothelial cell count from baseline was 3.8 ± 9.8% over 3 years.…”

“…The reported incidence of both retinal detachment and macular pathology after Artisan lens implantation is very low [13,14,30]. However, patients selected for phakic IOL implantation are frequently high myopes, who are at risk of various types of retinal pathology.…”

Quadruple Procedure for Visual Rehabilitation of Endothelial Decompensation Following Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

“…In 4 eyes (Cases 3, 5, 8,9) we used ultrathin grafts in which the difference between the central and the peripheral thickness is smaller in comparison to a regular graft, thus causing a smaller hyperopic shift. 17 In these eyes the hyperopic shift may have been overestimated. Coullet and associates 4 reported about the performance of DSAEK in a patient who had vision fluctuations and endothelial cell loss progressing to bullous keratopathy after bilensectomy.…”

“…Cataract formation has also been related to phakic IOL implantation [16][17][18] and was the main indication for phakic IOL explantation in a large retrospective series by Alió and associates. 7 However, causality between phakic IOL implantation and cataract is still controversial, as patients with phakic IOL may also have other well-established risk factors for cataract, such as high myopia and age above 40.…”

Visual acuity improvement in adult amblyopic eyes with an iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens: Long-term results

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The use of pIOLs in pediatric amblyopic patients has also been described. [14][15][16] To our knowledge, no study has evaluated solely the gain in visual acuity from implantation of pIOLs in adult amblyopic eyes.…”
