Purpose: We report 2 cases in which a Verisyse phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) was used to successfully treat high myopia after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in pseudophakic patients.
Methods: Case 1 involved a 69-year-old pseudophakic man with a manifest refraction (MR) of -6.50 + 1.75 x 048 and a best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of 20/40 approximately 16 months after PK in the right eye. Case 2 was a 78-year-old pseudophakic man who had an MR of -9.00 + 5.75 x 132 with a BSCVA of 20/100 approximately 24 months after PK in the left eye.
Results: In case 1, 10 months after Verisyse PIOL implantation, the MR was pl +2.00 x 135 with a BSCVA of 20/30. Endothelial cell density (ECD) in this patient decreased from 1926.1 to 815.3 cells/mm over 17 months. In case 2, 24 months after Verisyse PIOL implantation, the MR was -3.25 + 3.50 x 105 with a BSCVA of 20/60. ECD in this patient decreased from 2108.4 to 753.8 cells/mm in 30 months.
Conclusion: The Verisyse PIOL may provide an alternative method to correct high myopia for anisometropia in pseudophakic patients after PK. In this report, PIOL implantation was associated with a decrease in ECD. Further studies are required to determine the long-term effects and ultimate safety of PIOL placement on the integrity of the cornea endothelium after corneal transplant in pseudophakic patients.
