Phakic lens in high myopes yields early refractive stability

A 3-month prospective study carried out at a Chinese university showed safety, efficacy and stability of results with the implantation of a posterior chamber phakic ICL in highly myopic eyes.
The Staar Surgical ICL V4c has a central hole that enhances aqueous humor circulation to avoid cataract formation and IOP increase with no need to perform peripheral iridotomy. The authors noted that there is a lack of data on the implantation of this lens in China, where high myopia is highly prevalent.
In total, 67 eyes of 38 patients were (Read more...)
