ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine the feasibility of using posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs) to treat high myopia, comparing two different models, Staar and Adatomed.METHODS:
Twenty-four eyes from 12 patients were studied prospectively. A phakic Staar IOL was implanted in one eye of each patient, and the other eye received a phakic Adatomed IOL. Patients with uveitis or ocular trauma prior to ocular surgery, diabetic retinopathy, or capsular pseudoexfoliation were excluded. The mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction was -16.00 +/- 5.05 D for the Staar group and -15.39 +/- 2.83 D for the Adatomed group. Average follow-up was 32.4 months (range, 19 to 46 mo) for the Adatomed group and 18.3 months (range, 11 to 21 mo) for the Staar group and included evaluation of intraocular pressure, intraocular lens pigment deposits, lens decentration, anterior subcapsular cataract, and visual acuity.RESULTS:
Spectacle-corrected and uncorrected visual acuity improved in all eyes in both groups. No statistically significant differences in visual acuity gain were observed with the two materials (Student t-test, P = .08 for the Staar group and P = .6 for the Adatomed group), although the gain in visual acuity was somewhat greater with the Staar PIOLs. The difference in mean intraocular pressure before surgery and at last follow-up was 1.5 mmHg for the Staar group and 2.3 mmHg for the Adatomed group (P = .36). The incidence of lens pigment deposits was the same in both groups (41.66%), with deposits in 5 of the 12 eyes in both groups. The incidence of lens decentration was higher in the Adatomed group (5/12; 41.66%) than in the Staar group (2/12; 16.7%). Anterior subcapsular cataract was higher in the Adatomed group (4/12; 33.3%) than in the Staar group (3/12; 25%).CONCLUSIONS:
There was a higher incidence of lens decentration and anterior subcapsular cataract in the Adatomed group than in the Staar group.
