Evaluation of ciliary body cysts in candidates for phakic lens implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Phakic lens implantation in the ciliary sulcus of the eye can be complicated by coincident ciliary body cysts (CBC). We developed an ultrasound imaging and mapping protocol for these cysts.

Methods

This is a retrospective case series of all patients who underwent ICL workup at a single institution from April 2015 to October 2019. A standardized ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) imaging protocol was developed to screen for CBCs in either the ciliary body or sulcus. The locations and dimensions of all CBCs were graphically represented.

Results

The prevalence of CBCs in 158 patients undergoing ICL workup was 34.8%. Among the 159 CBCs detected in 55 patients, 83 were in the sulcus (52%) and 76 were restricted to the ciliary body (48%). ICLs were implanted in 40 eyes
