Vertically Fixated Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation Through a Superior Corneal Incision.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To assess the 1-year outcomes of vertically fixated posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation through a superior corneal incision.

Methods

This pilot study comprised 78 eyes of 53 consecutive patients undergoing vertically fixated implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation through a superior corneal incision to correct moderate to high myopia and myopic astigmatism. We prospectively determined the safety, efficacy, predictability, stability, and adverse events preoperatively, and at 1 week and 1, 3, and 12 months postoperatively.

Results

The mean follow-up period was 10.4 ± 5.4 months. Uncorrected and corrected visual acuity were -0.20 ± 0.10 and -0.25 ± 0.07 logMAR, respectively, at 1 year postoperatively. At 1 year postoperatively, 98% an
