Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the refractive outcome after posterior chamber diffractive implantable phakic contact lens (IPCL) surgery was performed.

Setting:

Clinica de OJos Dr. Nano, Olivos, Buenos Aires-Argentina.

Methods:

A prospective non-randomized observational case-series study was performed in 16 myopic patients (32 eyes) who underwent diffractive IPCL surgery. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, spherical equivalent (SE) and defocus curve were evaluated 6 months after implantation of the Diffractive IPCL. The corneal mean endothelial cell density (ECD), central corneal thickness (CCT), vault, and intra-postoperative complications were also evaluated.

Results:

Mean age: 44.31 ±4.08. Baseline, the ECD was 2660.87 ±248.48 cell/mm2; 6 months after: 2581.87 ±235.60 cell/mm2 (p:0.2). The CCT was 495.37 ±34.19 µm at baseline and postoperative was 489.34 ±34.05 µm (p:0.48). Moreover, no difference (p: 0.97) in the vault was observed at 3 months vs. 6 months. The mean SE was -5.95± 2.56 D preoperatively and -0.25 ± 0.34 D at 6 postoperative. The mean postoperative was 0.09 ± 0.04 logMAR and no eye lost lines of vision. The defocus curve was -0.07 (for -3.0 D), -0.12 (for -1.5 D) and 0.08 LogMAR (for 0 D).

Conclusions:

Diffractive IPCL was effective to obtain good visual acuity for distance, intermediate and near sight in myopic patients and was implanted safely.
