Project description:BackgroundTo observe the changes in corneal densitometry (CD) with a Pentacam after implantable collamer lens (ICL) V4c implantation in myopia patients, and to investigate potential influencing factors.MethodsWe reviewed 65 eyes of 33 patients (mean age, 29.08±5.54 years) with myopia or myopic astigmatism who underwent ICL V4c implantation. Clinic parameters and Pentacam images of corneal topography and CD were obtained pre- and postoperatively.ResultsAfter an average of 52±2.2 months follow-up, the efficacy and safety indexes assessed at the last follow-up were 1.03±0.18 and 1.21±0.21, respectively. Except in the central annular zone of 0-2 mm, the CD values increased significantly at postoperative day 1 and decreased significantly until postoperative 1 year (P<0.05). The increase in CD values at different annular zones at postoperative day 1 was ranked as: 0-2 mm <2-6 mm < 6-10 mm. No significant difference was observed in corneal density at 1 week, 1 month, and 1-year follow-up when compared with the preoperative value (P>0.05). The CD value at 4 years follow-up increased significantly and correlated positively with age and preoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity, and negatively with preoperative spherical equivalent and intraocular pressure (IOP) (P<0.05).ConclusionsICL V4c implantation demonstrated safety and efficacy for myopia correction. The CD value increased at 4 years postoperatively and correlated with age, preoperative spherical equivalent, uncorrected distance visual acuity, and IOP.

Project description:BackgroundSpontaneous lens absorption is rare and usually occurs in eyes with certain syndromes, hyper-mature cataracts, and ocular trauma. The application of an implantable collamer lens (ICL) is widely performed in patients with high myopia for refractive correction. This study reports a case of spontaneous lens absorption after ICL implantation.Case summaryA 23-year-old man was referred with complaints of poor vision in his left eye. The patient had undergone binocular ICL implantation for refractive correction of high myopia 1.5 years prior. Approximately 10 months later, he experienced a sudden loss of vision and pain in his left eye, which resolved spontaneously the next day without any treatment. Since then, the visual acuity in his left eye gradually decreased. At presentation, slit-lamp examination revealed an ICL in the posterior chamber of both eyes, with anterior capsular fibrotic proliferation and posterior capsular opacity, and the residual lens cortex sandwiched between the anterior fibrotic membrane and opacified posterior lens capsule in his left eye. The number of corneal endothelial cells in his left eye was 1,337, which was lower than before ICL implantation (2,902). The patient then underwent ICL extraction, anterior capsular capsulotomy, residual cortex aspiration, posterior capsular polishing, and intraocular lens implantation.ConclusionsSpontaneous lens absorption may occur in patients with ICL implantation. Patients should undergo routine follow-ups after ICL implantation.

Project description:BackgroundTo report a case of a corneal endothelial ring after toric implantable collamer lens (TICL, V4C) implantation in the right eye of a patient.Case presentationA 36-year-old woman with refractive errors of -8.00 DS/-2.00 DC * 8° in the right eye and - 6.50 DS/-1.75 DC * 177° in the left eye developed a corneal endothelial ring in the right eye on the first day after receiving TICLs implantation for treatment of high myopic astigmatism, which has not been previously reported as a complication of ICLs implantation. At 1 day postoperatively, the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 20/16, the intraocular pressure as measured by non-contact tonometry was 16.9 mmHg, and the vault as measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography was 1238 μm. The eye was quiet and there was no unusual anterior chamber reaction. However, slit-lamp examination revealed an endothelial annular lesion of approximately 0.4 mm in diameter in the central part of the cornea, which was gray-white in color. The shape of the ring was the same as that of the central hole of the TICL. Specular microscopy showed that the mean endothelial cell density (ECD) of the ring significantly decreased to 1442 ± 263 cells/mm2, while the other part was still normal (2852 ± 103 cells/mm2). After 9 days of corticosteroid treatment and intense lubrication, the patient had a clear cornea, increased ECD (1532 ± 653 cells/mm2), and a good UDVA (20/16).ConclusionThis case suggests that a few hours after ICL V4C implantation, with a large vault, corneal displacement caused by an air puff would make the endothelium close to or even contact the ICL, producing a corneal endothelial ring. After ruling out various possible factors, we speculated that the endothelial ring was developed due to the non-contact tonometer air puff before slit-lamp evaluation, and this phenomenon was recorded by Corvis, which confirmed that the cornea could come in contact with the ICL due to gas shock. This "contact" may cause transient corneal endothelial damage.

Project description:This study is a meta-analysis comparing the efficacy, predictability, and safety of correcting myopia via implantation of two types of phakic intraocular lens (PIOLs): the implantable collamer lens (ICL) and iris-fixed PIOL. The Cochrane library, Pubmed, and EMBASE were searched. Study selection, data exclusion, and quality assessment were performed by two independent observers. The pooled relative risk (RR), pooled standardized mean difference (SMD), and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to compare lenses. Seven studies, involving 511 eyes, were included. The pooled SMD in postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) comparing ICLs to iris-fixed PIOLs was -0.22 (95% CI, -0.58 to 0.13; P = .22). The pooled RR values of UDVA of 20/20 or better and of 20/40 or better comparing ICLs to iris-fixed PIOLs were 1.15 (95% CI, 0.89 to 1.47; P = .29) and 1.01 (95% CI, 0.95 to 1.08; P = .75), respectively. The pooled RR of loss of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and gain in BSCVA comparing ICLs to iris-fixed PIOLs were 1.20 (95% CI, 0.24 to 6.00; P = .82) and 1.14 (95% CI, 0.89 to 1.48; P = .31), respectively. The pooled RR comparing ICLs to iris-fixed PIOLs was 0.78 (95% CI, 0.29 to 2.12; P = .63) for all reported complications and 2.80 (95% CI, 1.04 to 7.52; P = .04) for severe complications. The pooled RR of achieving a result within ± 0.5 D (diopter) of the intended target comparing ICLs to iris-fixed PIOLs was 1.35 (95% CI, 1.04 to 1.77; P = .03). Overall, there is no significant difference in efficacy between the two types of PIOLs or in safety, except that the ICL is associated with a greater incidence of severe complications, especially anterior subcapsular cataract, primarily in the Version 2 and Version 3 groups. However, ICL has better predictability.

Project description:BackgroundThis retrospective study aimed to compare the outcomes of toric implantable collamer lens (TICL) surgery with those of implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation combined with limbal relaxing incision (LRI) in patients with low myopia and astigmatism.MethodsA total of 40 eyes of 28 patients who underwent TICL implantation and 40 eyes of 27 patients who underwent ICL implantation combined with manually LRI between 2021 and 2022 were included. Primary outcomes were manifest sphere and cylinder, intraocular pressure, visual acuity, and astigmatism parameters at 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.ResultsThe two surgeries showed comparable effects on manifest sphere and cylinder, intraocular pressure, and visual acuity (all p > 0.1). Surgery-induced astigmatism (SIA) was maintained as stable in the TICL group (1.73 to 1.68, p = 0.420), but was significantly reduced in the ICL/LRI group (1.74 to 1.17, p = 0.001) from preoperative to postoperative 6 months. The TICL group displayed significantly higher SIA and correction index at postoperative 1, 3, and 6 months than the ICL/LRI group (at 6 months: SIA, 1.68 (1.26, 1.96) vs., 1.17 (1.00, 1.64), p = 0.010; CI: 0.98 (0.78, 1.25) vs. 0.80 (0.61, 1.04), p = 0.018). No complications occurred during follow-up.ConclusionsThe effects of ICL/LRI are comparable to those of TICL in correcting myopia. TICL implantation displays better astigmatism correction than ICL/LRI.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the incidence, patient background, and postoperative prognosis of implantable collamer lens (ICL) dislocation. We retrospectively reviewed all cases of ICL dislocation at four major refractive surgery centers in Japan until December 2019. The incidence, patient background, cause of dislocation, complications of repositioning surgery, and postoperative visual function were investigated. Seven ICL dislocations [0.072% of total ICL-implanted eyes (9775 eyes)] occurred at an average of 28.6 months (11-82 months) postoperatively. All patients were male. Five eyes were injured during sports activities, one due to a fall from a bicycle, and another due to ocular blunt trauma caused by a mortuary tablet. Two patients had re-dislocation in the same eye. Retinal detachment occurred after repositioning surgery in one patient, and scleral buckling surgery was performed without ICL removal. ICL dislocation is a rare complication of ICL surgery; repositioning surgery is effective, but retinal complications may occur.

Project description:In clinical practice, the effect of a high vault on corneal endothelial cells after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation remains unclear. Many clinicians theoretically assume that a high postoperative vault leads to rapid endothelial damage, but no study has yet proven this hypothesis. We conducted a paired-eye study to compare changes in corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) between high and low postoperative vault groups. This retrospective study included 150 eyes of 75 patients with bilateral postoperative vault levels differing by more than 200 μm after ICL implantation. Patients were followed up for 7 years with ECD measurements, and changes in ECD were assessed between 6 months and 7 years post-surgery. Over the 7-year follow-up period, the percentage of ECD loss was 15.04% and 14.45% in the high- and low-vault groups, respectively. The bilateral paired-eye comparison revealed a significant reduction in ECD in the high-vault group at 3, 5, and 7 years postoperatively (P-value < 0.001). In this paired-eye comparison of long-term observations, a higher vault was associated with greater ECD loss. Our study confirms that a high vault level may be an important risk factor for ECD loss following ICL implantation.

Project description:Purpose:To confirm the relationship between anterior chamber angle (ACA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) early after V4c implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation. Methods:Patients were assigned to two groups: (1) right eyes (control group) and (2) left eyes (experimental group), with miosis conducted immediately after ICL implantation in the left eyes. IOP, angle opening distance (AOD), trabecular-iris angle (TIA), and pupil diameter (PD) were compared between two groups at postoperative hours 1, 2, and 24. The relationship between ACA, PD, and IOP was analyzed by multiple linear regression. Result:Thirty-six eyes of 18 patients were enrolled. The prevalence of ocular hypertension (OHT, defined as IOP???21?mmHg) was 61.11% and 16.67% in the right and left eyes, respectively, (? 2?=?7.481, p=0.006). At postoperative hours 1 and 2, IOP and PD were significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the right eyes, and TIA and AOD were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in the right eyes than in the left eyes. There was no significant difference at 24?h postoperative in these parameters. After the right eye ICL implantation, the changes of AOD 500 and PD were both linearly correlated with postoperative IOP change (??=?-23.707 and 1.731, respectively; p?=?0.013 and 0.002, respectively). Conclusion:The ACA was significantly narrowed immediately after V4c ICL implantation. There was a negative linear correlation between ACA and early IOP and a positive linear correlation between PD and early IOP. We recommend the use of intracameral miotics immediately after V4c ICL implantation to reduce the incidence of IOP spikes.

Project description:PurposeTo explore early changes in circumferential anterior segment structures following Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) V4c implantation via swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).MethodsIn 103 eyes of 56 myopic patients undergoing ICL V4c surgery, anterior segments were measured via SS-OCT to compute local anterior chamber angle (ACA) parameters on the nasal-temporal (0°-180°), superior-inferior (90°-270°), and superior nasal-inferior temporal (80°-260°) meridians, including angle-opening distance at 500 µm (AOD500), trabecular-iris space area at 500 µm (TISA500), trabecular-iris angle at 500 µm (TIA500), and circumferential ACA parameters, including AOD area at 500 µm (AODA500), trabecular-iris circumference volume at 500 µm (TICV500), and the index and area of iris-trabecular contact (ITC). ACA parameters were compared preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively and compared among quadrants. Mixed-effects model was used to evaluate the parameters correlated with the post-ITC parameters.ResultsThe mean AOD500, TISA500, TIA500, AODA500, and TICV500 were decreased by 65.4% to 71%, 64.1% to 69.3%, 53.8% to 61.5%, 69.9%, and 69.2%, respectively, at 1 week postoperatively. The ITC index and area values rose from 1.436% ± 4.427% and 0.070 ± 0.254 mm2 to 12.343% ± 13.216% and 0.903 ± 1.304 mm2 (all P < 0.05). No further decreases in ACA parameters were observed beyond 1 week postoperatively (all P > 0.05). Significant differences were observed among quadrants, with the narrowest in the superior-nasal quadrant, followed by the superior quadrant. The 3-month vault was significantly correlated with the ITC index and area at 3 months postoperatively.ConclusionsAnterior segment structures were significantly shallow at 1 week with no further decreases thereafter. In light of anatomical variability, we recommend circumferential meridian scan to assess angle status, with special attention to the superior-nasal and superior quadrants.Translational relevanceWe investigated the early changes in circumferential anterior segment structures following ICL V4c implantation, thus providing a better perspective for understanding anterior segment structural characteristics after ICL V4c surgery.

Project description:BackgroundTo evaluate the clinical results and rotational stability of V4c toric implantable collamer lens (TICL, STAAR Surgical Company, Monrovia, CA, USA) in patients with moderate to high myopic astigmatism. Retrospective, interventional case series was performed at Shenzhen Eye Hospital, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.MethodsThis study enrolled 43 patients (72 eyes) who received TICL implantation to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism. The patients underwent visual and refractive examinations before and 1 month after surgery. Astigmatic changes were estimated using polar value analysis. The difference between the achieved axis and the intended axis at the last follow-up was taken as the rotation of the V4c TICL.ResultsAt 1 month postoperatively, the mean safety and efficacy indices were 1.17 and 1.13, respectively. A significant reduction of 8.92±2.58 D was observed in the spherical equivalent refraction (SER), which decreased from -9.29±2.41 D preoperatively to -0.37±0.55 D postoperatively. The astigmatic error of treatment in cylinder format was calculated to 0.50±0.41 @ 15.08° relative to the preoperative stronger meridian at 1 month, postoperatively. At 1 month postoperatively, the mean absolute rotation was 8.30±10.00 degrees (median =5.46 degrees; range, 0.00-58.88 degrees).ConclusionsTICL could achieve good astigmatic outcomes for correcting moderate to high myopic astigmatism. After TICL implantation, corneal astigmatism remained unchanged. To optimize postoperative astigmatic outcomes in TICL, polar value analysis can be used to build a nomogram.
