Purpose: To compare straylight values before and 1 month after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Setting: Private practice refractive surgery center, Delft, The Netherlands.
Methods: In a prospective nonrandomized study, straylight values of 21 patients (42 eyes) were measured using the van den Berg straylight meter (third generation) during intake sessions at a refractive surgery clinic.
Purpose: We report the postoperative results of the Artisan Hyperopia phakic intraocular lens (IOL; model 203W; Ophtec, Groningen, The Netherlands).
Design: Prospective, nonrandomized trial.
Participants: Twenty-six eyes of 13 self-selected patients with refractive error ranging from +3.
Objective: To evaluate safety, efficacy, predictability, stability, complications, and patient satisfaction after implantation of Artisan toric phakic intraocular lenses (TPIOLs) for the correction of myopia or hyperopia with astigmatism.
Design: Prospective, nonrandomized, comparative (self-controlled) multicenter trial.
Participants: Seventy eyes of 53 patients (mean, 35 years; range, 22-59 years) with preoperative spherical equivalent between +6.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability, and stability of implanting a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) (the Artisan myopia lens) to correct high myopia.
Methods: An Artisan myopia lens was implanted in 78 consecutive eyes of 49 patients with preoperative myopia that ranged from -6.25 to -28.
Purpose: Anterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs) are one of the modalities used to correct high myopia. We report the long-term results of our prospective study on the Artisan 5-mm optic myopia lens.
Methods: We studied 67 eyes of 38 consecutive patients with preoperative myopia ranging from -5.
