Purpose: To evaluate the implantation of Artisan/Verisyse phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) (Advanced Medical Optics) as an effective and safe method for the correction of high myopia.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Methods: This retrospective outcomes trial examined the implantation of Artisan/Verisyse pIOLs in 85 highly myopic eyes (mean spherical equivalent -12.2 diopters). Patients were followed for 2 years and examined postoperatively at 1,6,12, and 24 months. Data collected included best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), corneal endothelial cell density, and adverse events.
Results: Six months postoperatively, 5 (7%) eyes lost 1 line of the BSCVA; no eye lost 2 or more lines. The UCVA was better than 20/40 in 83% of eyes and better than 20/25 in 32%. Endothelial cell density decreased by 3.3% and 6.5% over the 1-year and 2-year intervals, respectively. Glare and halos, the most common complications of surgery, were reported by 6% of patients at 1 month and by 3% at 2 years.
Conclusion: Implantation of the Verisyse/Artisan pIOL yielded accurate refractive results with acceptable safety in highly myopic eyes.

Multifocal Electroretinography Changes in Patients with Late-Stage Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) After Smaller-Incision New-Generation Implantable Miniature Telescope (SING IMT): A Case Series.

The smaller-incision new-generation implantable miniature telescope (SING IMT) represents an advancement over the previous model, WA-IMT, serving as a unilateral prosthetic device for patients with late-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study aims to report changes in multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) 6 months post-SING IMT implantation. In this case series, we prospectively evaluated a cohort of phakic patients with late-stage AMD who underwent SING IMT implantation at the Ophthalmology Unit, University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy.

A new system and methodology are introduced to evaluate photic phenomena induced by different intraocular lens (IOL) technologies using a "see-through" IOL analyzer system in phakic subjects. Nineteen phakic subjects looked through the Groningen IOL Telescope type 1 (GIT1) system under different conditions. Four different IOL designs with different clinical levels of photic phenomena were evaluated by the subjects.

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are routinely used to replace cataractous crystalline lenses. Most current models have a biconvex design that reduces optical quality in the periphery since they are optimized only for central vision. Inverted meniscus IOLs are optimized to achieve similar optical performance to phakic eyes in the peripheral retina.

Extreme myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) poses challenges regarding future intraocular lens (IOL) power selection. A male patient in his 40s complained of progressive right eye (OD) diminished visual acuity. He had a history of myopic LASIK in both eyes (OU) 20 years before, and implantable collamer lens (ICL) implant in OU 8 years before.
