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.
Study suggests sharp refractive control in 2-step phacoemulsification plus PRK, but similar outcomes and fewer risks with 1-step toric IOL implantation.
However, researchers note “clinically relevant differences” in glaucoma procedure success rates for patients with a history of the refractive procedure.
Patients with epiretinal membranes still saw improvements in their vision at various distances after surgery, even if they had prior trifocal implants.
The femtosecond laser-assisted surgical complication was also associated with air bubbles or ocular secretions at the interface and white cataracts, a report shows.
