Abstract Details

Purpose:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical results of implantation the posterior chamber implantable collamer lens (spherical and toric models) in adults with high myopic amblyopia.

Setting:

Libermedic Warsaw Ophthalmological Centre, Warsaw, Poland

Methods:

A single surgeon prospective clinical study. 10 patient aged 32,2 (range 24 to 40) were studied. ICL implantation was performed in 18 amblyopic eyes ( 16 – bilateral amblyopia, 2 – unilateral anisometropic amblyopia). The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) test using ETDRS chart was evaluated preoperatively. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was performed postoperatively at 1, 7d, 6, 12mo. Intraocular pressure (IOP), vaulting, corneal endothelial cell count and complications were evaluated. Patients completed follow-up at 1, 7d, 6, 12mo after surgery.

Results:

The mean CDVA of the amblyopic eye was 25.2 letters (range from 15 to 34) preoperatively and UDVA 31.8 letters (range 21 to 46) at 12mo postoperatively. The UDVA at 1, 7d, 6 and 12mo postoperatively improved by a mean of 5.8, 6.3, 6.5 and 6.6 letters. Corneal endothelial cell count was lower by mean 2.4 % at 12mo. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed.

Conclusions:

This short-term results indicate that ICL implantation may be considered an effective method to improve vision in adult patients with high myopic amblyopia. It also demonstrates a good safety profile.
