Background: Phakic anterior chamber iris-fixated IOL (PIOL) are established for the correction of high myopia. These patients require attention to macular pathologies. This study was to evaluate the quality of imaging through the PIOLs.
Methods: 54 eyes of 31 myopic and hyperopic patients with Verisyse, Verisyse toric, and Veriflex phakic iris-fixated IOL were included. Mean preoperative refraction was -11.0 D and +5.7 D, respectively; mean follow-up time was 7.4 years (5-11 years). A matched control group was formed without PIOL implantation. OCT scans were performed and evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively.
Results: In 52 eyes of 31 patients (96%), a 3D-OCT image and fundus photo could be obtained in good quality. Foveal thickness was significantly thicker in the myopic patients, whereas all other sectors and total volume had no significant difference.
Conclusions: It proved possible to obtain high-resolution scans and digital photos of the same quality as without additional phakic IOL.

Article Synopsis
- * The most common reasons for IOL exchange were IOL subluxation (43.3%) and dislocation (33.3%), with a significant portion of surgeries (60%) performed by trainees, yet no major difference in visual outcomes between trainee and experienced surgeons was observed.
- * Post-surgery, over 70% of patients achieved a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) better than 20/60, indicating that proper selection

The medical management of ectopia lentis involves refractive correction as well as co-management of any associated systemic disease. Surgical management remains a challenge, as inherent defects in the lens capsule make implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) difficult. Multiple visual rehabilitative measures are available such as aphakic contact lenses or spectacles, capsular bag fixation with implantation of in-the-bag IOL, iris-fixated, and scleral-fixated IOL.

Purpose: To investigate the risk factors for corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) loss of 2 types of iris-fixated phakic intraocular lenses (pIOL) and indicate the cutoff values for preventing irreversible ECD loss after explantation.
Design: The retrospective, comparative, clinical cohort study.
Methods: Total 114 eyes of 61 patients were included in this study.

Article Synopsis
- Iris fixated lenses are used to help people who have eye problems like Aphakia and loose lenses.
- Sometimes, these lenses can make the pupil stay small after surgery.
- We found a new way to fix a serious eye issue that happens with these lenses, which makes the surgery easier and faster while helping the patient see better sooner.
