Abstract Details

Purpose:

To study the experience and reliability of the phakic Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) in single center.

Setting:

Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Methods:

Retrospective chart review of patients with myopia ranging from -3.25 to -21.00 D, who underwent ICL implantation, during the period between February 2010 to August 2016 in Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) in Riyadh and completed at least 3 months of follow up.

Results:

Total of 50 eyes of 29 patients who underwent implantation of Visian ICL phakic lenses were included. 22 patients were female (75.9%) and 7 were male (24.1%) with mean age ± standard deviation (SD) 28.59±5.82 (range 20 – 43 years). The results showed significant improvement in spherical equivalent (SE), between preoperative and postoperative sphere, cylinder, and BCVA (P< 0.001). Preoperatively the mean SE was -10.35 ± 3.52D(range -4.00 to -22.50D) and postoperatively -0.41 ± 0.86D (range +0.50 to -3.75D). Preoperative LogMAR BCVA was 0.07 ± 0.13 and postoperative was 0.01 ± 0.04.

Conclusions:

This study showed that the ICL implantation is an effective and safe procedure as 96% of the patients achieved postoperative UCVA 20/40 or better, and 96% achieved BCVA 20/25 or better, the remaining 4% are having element of amblyopia, while 100% achieved BCVA 20/40 or better. Further studies with larger population and long-term follow-up period needed for further assessment of the long term ICL visual outcome and ways to improve it.
