Patients implanted with foldable iris-fixated phakic intraocular lenses may experience annual changes in refractive error, visual acuity, and axial length, making the devices a long-term, but not permanent solution.
Older age, increased IOP, thinner central cornea, higher vertical cup/disc ratio, and longer axial length were also highly associated with open-angle glaucoma incidence.
A study shows a statistically significant increase of 0.1 mm in axial length after posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation.
The technology was reliable for these patients, except for trefoil, the study shows.
Researchers note a sharp reduction of corneal nerves after the procedure, but only a slight and temporary decrease in corneal sensitivity.
A study shows a faster visual recovery, better low-contrast acuity, and greater improvements in uncorrected acuity.
The lenses are a safe choice to restore lost visual acuity originally achieved by PRK or LASIK.
The study evaluated the refractive, visual, and aberrometric outcomes of the refractive procedures.
The pandemic safety measure led to more instances of convergence insufficiency in children, a report shows.
