Abstract Details

Purpose:

To report a case of bilateral cataract and glaucoma after Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) that resulted in advanced visual field loss.

Setting:

Cataract.

Methods:

A 38-year-old man high myope presented for routine follow-up status post bilateral phakic intraocular collamer lens (ICL) placement. He was found to have a decline in visual field from an anterior subcapsular cataract and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in both eyes with advanced glaucomatous visual field defects.

Results:

The patient was treated with topical glaucoma medications and the phakic ICL in the left eye was removed concurrently with cataract surgery to prevent further visual field loss.

Conclusions:

Cataract and glaucoma are serious adverse outcome after phakic ICL implantation, therefore regular post-operative monitoring may prevent advanced visual impairment.
