We report a child who had implantation of an iris-fixated Artisan phakic intraocular lens (IOL) to correct high unilateral myopia to support the therapy of anisometropic amblyopia. After IOL implantation, the patient continued occlusion therapy to further treat the amblyopic eye. One year postoperatively, the best corrected visual acuity in the amblyopic eye was 1.00 and binocular stereovision had developed. The visual acuity remained stable through 3 years of follow-up. There were no complications, although postoperative endothelial cell loss was significant.

Spherical implantable collamer lens with postoperative adjunctive LASIK in the treatment of high compound hyperopic astigmatism.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, McGill University, 5252 Maisonneuve Blvd W, 4th floor,, Montreal, Québec, H4A 3S5, Canada.
Objective: To assess refractive and visual outcomes of a spherical Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) followed by planned postoperative adjunctive laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the treatment of high compound hyperopic astigmatism.
Methods: In this prospective, multi-center, multi-surgeon, single-arm trial, eyes with ≥ 3.50 D hyperopia and ≥ 2.
Addition by Subtraction: Reversing Epikeratophakia and Stromal Scarring in a Patient With Myopia Magna.
Cornea
January 2025
Institut für Refraktive und Ophthalmo-Chirurgie (IROC), Zurich, Switzerland.
Purpose: To describe a three-phase surgical approach for managing progressive visual decline in a patient with myopia magna and a history of epikeratophakia.
Methods: A 55-year-old woman with previous epikeratophakia surgery in both eyes experienced progressive visual deterioration. The three-phase approach included: (1) removal of the epikeratophakia lenticule, (2) cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation, and (3) transepithelial topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (trans-PRK).
Five years comparation of efficacy and safety after ICL-V4c implantation for high and super high myopia correction.
Ann Med
December 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu City, China.
Objectives: The objective of the investigation is to examine the long term efficacy, safety, and predictability of ICL-V4c implantation for high and super-high myopic patients in order to provide reliable guidance for the selection of refractive surgical procedures.
Methods: We reviewed 125 eyes from 64 patients who implanted ICL-V4c at the Refractive Surgery Center of West China Hospital in Chengdu, China, between May 2015 and January 2017. These eyes were divided into two groups based on their preoperative spherical equivalent (SE) degree: high myopia (≥ -10D) and super-high myopia groups (< -10D).
An analysis of heavy silicone oil treatment for inferior proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Oxford Eye Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford, UK.
Purpose: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a complication of retinal detachment which requires multiple vitreoretinal surgical interventions and frequent use of oil endotamponade. In this study, we conducted an in-depth analysis of complications associated with the use of heavy silicone oil in the management of inferior PVR.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 20 eyes that underwent vitrectomy for inferior PVR with use of heavy silicone oil (Densiron 68) between March 2021 and October 2022 at Oxford Eye Hospital.
Analysis of the correlations between changes in posterior segment and anterior chamber segment after implantable collamer lens implantation in highly myopic patients.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Refractive Surgery, Guangzhou Aier Eye Hospital, Jinan University, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, 510000, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) implantation on anterior chamber angle parameters and posterior segment structures in highly myopic eyes and explore potential correlations between these changes. The study aimed to assess alterations in superficial and deep vessel density (SVD, DVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness to clarify the safety profile of ICL implantation.
Methods: Prospective observational study, included 36 highly myopic eyes undergoing ICL implantation in surgery group and 23 non-surgical control eyes in non-surgery group.
