Abstract Details

Purpose:

To compare adverse effects and refractive outcomes between Acrylic Implantable Intraocular Lens (IPCL) and Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) in treatment of myopia in adults.

Setting:

Assiut University Hospital

Methods:

A prospective, randomized comparative study on myopic patients (-16 to -15 D) assigned for Phakic IOL implantation. Patients were randomized into two groups: group A: with ICL implanted and Group B with Acrylic IPCL implanted. Preoperative assessments including full ophthalmic examination, pentacam, endothelial cell count and Biometry. Patients were followed up: first day, first week and every two months for 6 month. We compared complications and refractive outcomes in both groups.

Results:

This study enrolled 60 eyes, 28 in group A and 32 in group B. The mean preoperative spherical equivalent was -12.68 ± 3.4 D in group A and -13.59 ± 4.4 D in group B (P=0.37). The mean postoperative spherical equivalent value was ±0.42 ±0.2 D in group A and ±0.57±0.1 D in group B (P<0.001). . The mean endothelial cell count was reduced by 4.32% in group A and by 5.32% in group B (P=0.003) .The complication rate was 11.76% in group A and 6.90% in group B.

Conclusions:

Both Implantable Collamer lens (ICL)  and Implantable Acrylic Phakic  lenses ( IPCL) are effective methods to correct high myopia in adults. After 12 months follow up, adverse reactions were early and transient. There were no statistically signifcant differences between the two lenses in terms of adverse effects.
