Good long-term results seen for phakic ICL in patients with high myopia, severe astigmatism
CHICAGO — Nearly 60% of eyes with 20/200 vision or worse that underwent phakic ICL implantation for the correction of high myopia or severe astigmatism improved to 20/40 without the use of glasses or corrective lenses, according to a speaker here. “We found very satisfactory refractive outcomes and that it was very effective, predictable and reduced astigmatism significantly,” lead study author Seyed Javad Hashemian, MD, said at a press briefing at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.
