Central aperture posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation for moderate and low myopia

Abstract

AIM: To observe the efficacy and safety of central hole phakic posterior chamber intraocular lens(ICL V4c)implantation for correction low to moderate myopia.METHODS: Twenty low to moderate myopia patients(forty eyes)who underwent the ICL V4c implantation in our hospital from January 2016 to June 2017 were observed 1wk, 1mo and 1a after operation respectively. Uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), equivalent spherical mirrors(SE), intraocular pressure, corneal endothelial cell count, ICL-vault, adverse reaction and complication were investigated.RESULTS: Postoperative UCVA and BCVA were significantly higher than that in preoperative group(PPPP>0.05). None of subjects developed cataract, glaucoma and decompensation of corneal endothelium. The degree of postoperative satisfaction was 100%.CONCLUSION: ICL V4c implantation is a safe and effective method for the correction of low to moderate myopia. The visual acuity stabilized 1mo after operation.
