Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of implantable collamer lenses (ICLs) for patients with keratoconus through a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing research.
- A total of 16 observational studies involving 397 eyes were analyzed, showing significant improvements in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and various refractive measures, but no substantial changes in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA).
- Overall, the findings suggest that ICLs are safe and beneficial for vision correction in keratoconus patients, though limitations such as study design and follow-up duration were noted.
