Purpose: To evaluate the vaulting of the STAAR Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) over the crystalline lens after implantation.
Methods: One hundred twenty-three eyes of 68 patients with myopic refractive errors of -3.25 to -22.75 diopters undergoing ICL implantation were examined retrospectively. The magnitude of the central vaulting of the ICL was assessed quantitatively using slit-lamp microscopy at 3 months after surgery. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the factors affecting the amount of vaulting.
Results: The mean central vaulting 3 months after surgery was 603.6 +/- 259.6 microm. Explanatory variables relevant to the vaulting were, in order of influence, the horizontal white-to-white distance (partial regression coefficient B = 0.268, P = .0002) and patient age (B = -0.007, P = .011).
Conclusions: Although the majority of the variance remains unexplained, younger patients' eyes and eyes with greater white-to-white distances are more predisposed to have higher ICL vaulting over the crystalline lens.

Purpose: Using a fully automated multitask deep learning method, which enabled simultaneous segmentation and quantification of all major anterior segment structures with swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), we aimed to investigate the three-dimensional (3D) alterations in iris morphology before and after implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery.
Methods: All enrolled patients underwent anterior segment SS-OCT (ANTERION) within one week before and after ICL surgery. A multitask network automatically performed iris SS-OCT image segmentation and quantitative measurements of 3D iris morphology (iris thickness and volume of the inner 1-mm annular area and the outer 1-2-mm annular area, iris curvature [I-Curve], and iris smooth index [SI]).
Analysis of the correlations between changes in posterior segment and anterior chamber segment after implantable collamer lens implantation in highly myopic patients.

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.

Introduction: Implantable collamer lens (ICL) is a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens. It is usually indicated for high refractive error correction that cannot be treated by laser vision correction due to physical limitations.
Case Presentation: 39 years old male with a past ocular history of keratoconus underwent astigmatic keratotomy followed by crosslinking in both eyes a couple of years later due to signs of corneal ectasia progression.
Purpose: To evaluate dynamic changes in ciliary parameters and Implantable Collamer Lens V4C (ICL) (STAAR Surgical) haptic position using mydriatic and miotic agents and their effects on the central and peripheral vault.
Methods: This study involved 80 eyes from 40 consecutive patients (mean age: 28.05 years; range: 19 to 42 years) examined 3 months after ICL implantation.
