Update on Treating High Myopia With Implantable Collamer Lenses

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide updates on the treatment of high myopia with the implantable collamer lens (ICL). The ICL has become an important technique used in intraocular refractive surgery. With improvements in material, design, and application, the ICL has good efficacy, predictability, long-term safety and stability, manageable complications, and reversibility. More and more refractive surgeons are taking note of the ICL. This article reviews the material characteristics and the latest design… Show more

“…[3][4][5][6][7] Implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation is now applied by more and more refractive surgeons to correct myopia, especially high myopia. 8 Thus, it now calls for reliable and convenient techniques pre-surgery to screen and record potential retinal lesions.…”

“…Under the same indoor light, all measurements were performed by the same ophthalmologist three times, and the average values were recorded. For the vault at 1 month after surgery, 250-750 µm was de ned as normal vaulting, < 250 µm as low vaulting, and > 750 µm as high vaulting [27,28]. At the same time, visual acuity, IOP, and diopter were measured.…”

“…The implantable collamer lens (ICL; STAAR Surgical, Monrovia, CA), a posterior chamber phakic IOL (pIOL), has a history of 30 years in refractive surgery around the world. 22 The procedure can be used to correct a higher range of ametropia than LVC. Some patients may be better candidates for ICL implantation due to pupil size, dry eyes, inadequate tissue volume for LASIK, abnormal topographic shape or personal preferences for a reversible procedure.…”
