Artisan Phakic IOL in Myopia – How Useful Is It?
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Artisan Phakic IOL is found to be effective and predictable in treating high myopia. The present study was aimed at determining the efficacy, safety, predictability and visual outcome of Phakic Artisan IOL in high myopia. This retrospective and prospective study was conducted on 22 eyes of 18 patients between October 2004 and January 2006 at Mahatme Eye Bank Eye Hospital, Nagpur, India. All of them underwent implantation of iris claw phakic IOL (Artisan) by the same surgeon.Although it is a difficult procedure to perform, our study showed that in experienced hands, there are minimal intraoperative and postoperative complications. The implantation of Phakic IOLs has been projected as an interesting alternative to corneal surgery for the correction of high refractive error. However further follow up is necessary to confirm its efficacy and to monitor long term complications and safety.
