Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a specific type of eye lens (EVO-ICL) designed for correcting low levels of nearsightedness in patients across several surgical centers in the U.S.
- It involved 172 eyes from 111 patients, assessing outcomes such as vision clarity and any complications at various intervals up to a year post-surgery.
- The results showed high success rates, with no serious complications reported, indicating that EVO-ICL is a reliable option for treating low myopia.
Background: To assess the multicenter outcomes of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation with a central hole (EVO-ICL, STAAR Surgical) for patients undergoing previous laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Methods: This case series enrolled 31 eyes of 21 consecutive patients undergoing EVO-ICL implantation to correct residual refractive errors after LASIK at 7 nationwide major surgical sites. We investigated safety, efficacy, predictability, stability, and adverse events at 1 week, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, and at the final visit.
Intraocular lens extraction using the cartridge pull-through technique.

Current intraocular lens (IOL) explantation techniques are limited to cutting the optic and removing the pieces through a small incision or folding single-piece acrylic IOLs using a 2-handed technique. Poor execution of IOL explantation can result in injury to intraocular structures, including the corneal endothelium and iris. The minimally invasive cartridge pull-through technique uses a cartridge for IOL implantation and new forceps optimized for secure grasping of the IOL for removal.
