Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the biometric traits of the anterior chamber in patients with significant endothelial cell loss (ECL) who needed phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) explantation compared to those who did not.
- Conducted retroactively in Lima, Peru, the research included patients who received pIOLs from 2001 to 2012, assessing various eye health metrics like endothelial cell count and optical coherence tomography.
- Results revealed that patients in the explanted group experienced a higher annual percentage of ECL and lower minimum endothelial lens distance, indicating that both annual ECL rates and minimum distances can reliably differentiate between the two patient groups.
