RESUMO
PURPOSE: To study changes in vaulting of myopic and toric Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs) version 4 during accommodation with Visante optical coherence tomography (OCT), and analyze the relationship between vaulting and anterior subcapsular opacification. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-seven eyes of 77 myopic patients were examined after implantation with an ICL (48 myopic, 29 toric). The median follow-up time was 63 months (range, 10-84). METHODS: The distance between the posterior ICL surface and the anterior surface of the crystalline lens was measured in the nonaccommodative state and during accommodation with Visante OCT. The lenses were examined for opacification using slit-lamp microscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The distance between the ICL and the anterior surface of the crystalline lens. RESULTS: At baseline, the mean distance between the ICL and the crystalline lens was 0.31+/-0.19 mm and during accommodation 0.31+/-0.26 mm; the difference did not reach significance (P = 0.77). The distance at baseline was significantly (P = 0.01) less in older patients and significantly (P = 0.04) greater in patients with a toric ICL. Contact was observed at baseline or during accommodation in 12 eyes; there was a significantly lower incidence of contact in eyes implanted with a toric ICL (P = 0.03). Anterior subcapsular opacification developed in 10 eyes, in 5 of these the ICL touched the crystalline lens. CONCLUSIONS: Anterior subcapsular opacification developed in 13.0% of eyes. We found no difference in vaulting of the ICL at baseline and during accommodation. There was contact between the ICL and the crystalline lens in 15.6% of the eyes. The association between anterior subcapsular opacification and contact was significant (P = 0.004).

A national group of neurologists and ophthalmologists have evaluated guidelines and recommendations for diagnosis, treatment and follow up of optic neuritis based on clinical experience and a review of relevant literature. Optic neuritis is a common, well characterised condition that appears as an isolated syndrome or as a manifestation of multiple sclerosis. Several other diseases must be considered for a differential diagnosis. Corticosteroid treatment of optic neuritis has been investigated in a number of trials, which show that corticosteroid treatment speeds up the recovery of vision without affecting the final visual outcome. The diagnostic procedure and the treatment options have changed over the last few years. Some aspects of investigation, treatment and follow up are still controversial.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in vaulting of myopic and toric Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs) in different lighting conditions. METHODS: Thirty-seven eyes of 37 patients implanted with a myopic ICL and 26 eyes of 26 patients implanted with a toric ICL were examined using Visante optical coherence tomography (OCT) in photopic (257 lux) and mesopic (2 lux) conditions. Pupil diameter and distance changes between the ICL and adjacent intraocular structures were measured. RESULTS: The mean horizontal pupillary diameters in mesopic conditions were 5.3 ± 0.9 (SD) mm. In photopic conditions, a mean decrease of -1.8 ± 0.6 mm [95% confidence interval (95% CI) -2.0 to -1.7; p < 0.0001] was observed. The mean distances between the ICL and the crystalline lens in mesopic conditions were 0.33 ± 0.17 mm. In photopic conditions, a mean decrease of -0.04 ± 0.06 mm (95% CI -0.05 to -0.02; p < 0.0001) in the ICL-crystalline lens distance was found. There was a -0.02 ± 0.04 mm (95% CI -0.03 to -0.01; p = 0.0022) decrease in the anterior chamber depth and a 0.02 ± 0.06 mm (95% CI 0.002 to 0.032; p = 0.0275) increase in the distance between the cornea and the ICL. We found no difference in the change in vaulting between the two ICLs in different lighting conditions. CONCLUSION: There is a decrease in the central vaulting of myopic and toric ICLs in photopic conditions. This is due to both posterior movement of the ICL and anterior protrusion of the crystalline lens.
