Measurement of the internal diameter and depth of the anterior chamber: IOLMaster versus anterior chamber optical coherence tomographer.

Purpose: To study the internal diameter of the anterior chamber (AC), which remains a relatively subjective procedure dominated by the white-to-white technique, evaluated with a compass or using anterior segment photographs. In vivo dimensions of the AC were studied with an optical coherence tomographer (AC OCT) prototype.

Setting: Clinique Monticelli, Marseilles, France.

[Pigment dispersion and Artisan implants: crystalline lens rise as a safety criterion].

Purpose: To validate the theoretical notion of a crystalline lens rise as a safety criterion for ARTISAN implants in order to prevent the development of pigment dispersion in the implanted eye.

Material And Method: Crystalline lens rise is defined by the distance between the crystalline lens's anterior pole and the horizontal plane joining the opposite iridocorneal recesses. We analyzed the biometric measurements of 87 eyes with an Artisan implant.

Pigment dispersion and Artisan phakic intraocular lenses: crystalline lens rise as a safety criterion.

Purpose: To validate the theory that crystalline lens rise can be used as a safety criterion to prevent pigment dispersion in eyes with an Artisan phakic intraocular lens (IOL) (Ophtec BV).

Setting: Monticelli Clinic, Marseilles, France.

Method: A comparative analysis of crystalline lens rise in 9 eyes with pigment dispersion and 78 eyes without dispersion was performed.
