Title: Visual quality after implantation of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens for high myopia
Abstract: Objective To assess the clinical outcomes about the visual quality of implantable contact lens implantation for high myopia.Methods Forty eyes with high myopia of 20 patients that underwent ICL (STAAR Surgical,Switzerland) implantation were examined.Refraction,visual acuity,contrast sensitivity (CS) with and without glare were evaluated at 1 month and 6 months postoperatively.Results Significant improvement in uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were found at 1 month and 6 months postoperatively (P <0.05).The refraction at 1 month (-0.56±0.59D) and 6 months (-0.56±0.22D) postoperatively were no significant difference (P > 0.05).The CS with and without glare were all significantly better than pre-operation for 6,12 and 18 cycles/degree (P <0.05),but there were no significant difference between 1 month and 6 montha.No significant difference between the CS with and without glare for 3,6,12 and 18 cycles/degree were found preoperatively,1 month and 6 months postoperatively (P >0.05).The satisfaction of all the patients was 100%.Conclusions The ICL perform well in correcting high myopia during a 6 months observation period,suggesting its viability as a surgical option for the treatment of such eyes.
