Abstract Details

Purpose:

To compare postoperative visual symptoms after bilateral implantation of the Staar EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) with a central port at different time intervals after the surgery

Setting:

Goes Eye Center, a private ambulatory extramural eye surgery center in Antwerp, Belgium

Methods:

263 eyes of 135 patients underwent uneventful implantation of an implantable collamer lens type V4c with a central port (144 toric and 119 spheric lenses). Mean diopter of the lenses was -7.09 D. Subjective assessment of the quality of vision was performed using the Mcalinden Quality of Vision Questionnaire at 1 week and 6 months after surgery. The questionnaires were created using Surveylegend, , and were sent to all patients at different time intervals after their surgery

Results:

Frequency of glare at one week was 'sometimes', in 100% of patients and after 6 months this was 'never' in 56% and 'sometimes' in 44% Severity of glare was 'mild' in 100% of patients after one week, and 56% 'no glare' and 44 % 'mild glare after 6 months Frequency of halo's at one week was 'never' in 33%, 'often' in 33% and 'very often' in 33% After 6 months this was 'sometimes' in 100% Severity of halo's was 'absent' in 33% and 'important' in 66% of patients after one week, and 44% 'mild' and 56% 'important' after 6 months

Conclusions:

Optical side-effects exist after implantation of a Staar EVO implantable Collamer lens type V4c with a central port, but there was a mean decrease over time of Glare and Haloes, each with 3 questions regarding the Frequency, Severity, and Bothersome None of the patients requested an explantation or lens exchange because of the visual side-effects, and overall satisfaction was very high.
