Toric phakic intraocular lens: European multicenter study.

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.

Comparison of iris-fixed Artisan lens implantation with excimer laser in situ keratomileusis in correcting myopia between -9.00 and -19.50 diopters: a randomized study.

Objective: To compare Artisan lens implantation with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopia between -9.00 and -19.50 diopters.

Change in intraocular pressure in myopic eyes measured with contact and non-contact tonometers after laser in situ keratomileusis.

Purpose: To study the change in the intraocular pressure (IOP) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for correction of myopia.

Methods: One hundred twenty consecutive myopic eyes (60 patients) were included in a prospective study. All eyes received LASIK with the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser and the Chiron Automated Corneal Shaper.

Comparison of photorefractive keratectomy with excimer laser in situ keratomileusis in correcting low myopia (from -2.00 to -5.50 diopters). A randomized study.

Objective: To compare laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in the correction of myopia from -2.00 to -5.50 diopters.
