Angle-supported phakic IOL shows promising one-year results

AcrySof phakic angle-supported IOL was implanted in 190 eyes (190 subjects) with moderate to high myopia in this phase three, nonrandomized, open-label, prospective study. One-year postoperative UCVA was 20/20 or better in 57.8 percent of subjects and 20/40 or better in 99.4 percent. All subjects obtained BSCVA of 20/32 or better, and 85.7 percent reached 20/20 or better. Mean central endothelial density decreased 4.77 percent (15 percent experienced 10 percent or more loss). No pupil ovalization, pupillary block or retinal detachment occurred. Ophthalmology, July 2009
