ICARE Evolution: proving its worth in high myopia, showing potential in presbyopia
March 1st 2007The ICARE anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (IOL) with angle-supported haptics was designed five years ago by Corneal Laboratories (France) and attained the CE mark for demonstrating good efficacy and stability of refractive outcomes for the correction of high myopia. However, the safety profile of the lens was compromised by a number of anatomical limitations: a high vaulting that placed the optic too close to the endothelium and, because of the overall design of the lens, accurate sizing was difficult. In our clinic, in a series of 44 cases of conventional ICARE implantations, there were three reports of ovalisation and two of endothelial cell density decrease, which necessitated the removal of the lens.
Phakic IOLs: aiming for a place in the heart of surgeons
March 1st 2007Could phakic IOLs some day emerge as the dominant refractive surgical approach, particularly considering the past problems with early innovations? This is a difficult question to answer but one that has been debated over recent years.
Experience with the Artiflex Myopia phakic IOL
March 1st 2007A rising number of phakic IOLs are steadily making their way into clinics, with each one offering its own unique property to set it apart from the competition. Documented studies will tout the benefits of each lens and, in many cases, will compare phakic lenses in head-to-head studies. Naturally, all studies are important and the benefits a particular kind of lens affords in a certain type of patient, is absolutely critical if a surgeon is to make an informed decision on his or her choice of lens. However, just as important as the choice of lens, is the surgical technique employed to implant the lens. A good technique will, amongst other things, reduce the incidence of potential complications that could ensue as a result of surgery and it will lead to a faster recovery time.
Presbyopic lens exchange with ReZoom
January 1st 2007Refinements in lens technology have probably acted as the greatest catalyst for the recent upsurge in interest that has been witnessed in multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs). Coupled with the CE and FDA approvals of several second generation MIOLs, the number of refractive lens exchange (RLE) procedures that have been conducted in individuals over the age of 45 years seeking spectacle independence, has soared.
CK improves near vision in post-LASIK presbyopic emmetropes
January 1st 2007At three months, 88% had monocular uncorrected near vision of J2 or better and 95% had J3 or better. A total of 84% were able to read newspaper-sized print without spectacles and 84% were satisfied or very satisfied with the results
Endophthalmitis: how should we be preventing it?
November 1st 2006At the ESCRS congress in September, Peter Barry presented the full ESCRS endophthalmitis study results and controversially stated that, not only is the incidence of endophthalmitis higher than reported in the literature, but the risk of infection is further increased by clear corneal incisions and the use of silicon IOLs.
