Five-year follow-up of a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens with a central hole for correction of myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate intermediate and long-term visual outcomes and safety of a phakic intraocular posterior chamber lens with a central hole (ICL V4c) for myopic eyes.

Methods

Retrospective, consecutive case study of patients that uneventfully received a ICL V4c for myopia correction, with a 5-year postoperative follow-up. Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany.

Results

From 241 eyes that underwent ICL implantation, we included 45 eyes with a mean age at surgery of 33 years ± 6 (18-48 years), with a 5 years follow-up. CDVA improved from 0.05logMAR ± 0.15 CDVA preoperatively to  - 0.00 ± 0,07 at 5 years and did not change significantly from 3 to 5 years' time (p = 0.266). The mean spherical equivalent (SE) improved from -10.13D ± 3.39 to  - 0
