Visual Prognosis Following Cataract Surgery in Highly Myopic Patients with Prior History of Verisyse Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the visual outcomes and prognosis after cataract surgery in patients with prior history of Verisyse phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation. Methods: A retrospective cohort study involving 215 Verisyse pIOL implantations and 17 explantations was conducted. The Verisyse pIOL was disenclaved and removed through a superior scleral tunnel incision. Cataract extraction with phacoemulsification was then performed through a temporal clear corneal incision. Results: An occurrence rate of 7.9% of eyes with cataract formation was found. Both uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected visual acuity (CDVA) three months after cataract surgery were significantly improved (0.24 ± 0.30 vs. 0.73 ± 0.48; p < 0.001 and 0.10 ± 0.14 vs.
