Background: To compare visual performance between the iris-fixated phakic intraocular len (pIOL) and implantable collamer len (ICL) to correct high myopia.
Methods: Twenty-four eyes underwent iris-fixated pIOL implantation and 24 eyes underwent ICL implantation. At the 6-month follow-up, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) were compared between the iris-fixated pIOL and ICL groups. The objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff, and ocular aberrations were performed to evaluate postoperative visual quality between the two groups.
Results: No significant difference was found in UDVA, BCVA, and spherical equivalent between the iris-fixated pIOL and ICL groups (P > 0.05). Six months after surgery, the following values were significantly higher in the ICL group than in the iris-fixated pIOL group: MTF cutoff, strehl ratio and optical quality analysis system values at contrasts of 9 %, 20 %, and 100 % (P < 0.01). The OSI in the iris-fixated pIOL group was higher than in the ICL group 6 months after surgery (P < 0.01). All high-order aberrations were slightly more severe in the iris-fixated pIOL group than in the ICL group 6 months after surgery, although only trefoil (P = 0.023) differed significantly in this regard.
Conclusions: Both iris-fixated lenses and ICLs can provide good visual acuity. ICLs confer better visual performance in MTF-associated parameters and induce less intraocular light scattering than iris-fixated pIOLs.

: This study aimed to evaluate the visual outcomes and prognosis after cataract surgery in patients with prior history of Verisyse phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation. : A retrospective cohort study involving 215 Verisyse pIOL implantations and 17 explantations was conducted. The Verisyse pIOL was disenclaved and removed through a superior scleral tunnel incision.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the biometric traits of the anterior chamber in patients with significant endothelial cell loss (ECL) who needed phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) explantation compared to those who did not.
- Conducted retroactively in Lima, Peru, the research included patients who received pIOLs from 2001 to 2012, assessing various eye health metrics like endothelial cell count and optical coherence tomography.
- Results revealed that patients in the explanted group experienced a higher annual percentage of ECL and lower minimum endothelial lens distance, indicating that both annual ECL rates and minimum distances can reliably differentiate between the two patient groups.
Dynamic Stimulation Aberrometry: Objectively Measured Accommodation and Pupil Dynamics after Phakic Iris-Fixated Intraocular Lens Implantation.

Purpose: Anterior iris-claw phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation is a treatment option for refractive, ametropic patients. However, the postoperative accommodative ability has not been systematically researched. Dynamic stimulation aberrometry allows the objective and dynamical measurement of accommodation by observing ocular aberrations during the accommodation process.
