ICL Implantation in A Long Standing and Challenging Pseudophakic Ametropia

Abstract

Pseudophakic ametropia may be a devastating problem in time after childhood cataract surgeries, which must be corrected.1 Spectacles are inconvenient options and contact lenses too.2,3 IOL exchange cannot be advised because of its serious complications.4 Corneal refractive surgery can be applied only in suitable corneas and diopters.5 In higher refractive situations, the posterior chamber implantable collamer lens (ICL V4c) is an advisable alternative option, even if corneal thickness is inadequate. The new central hole design in ICL V4c allows the flow of aqueous humor without additional a peripheral iridotomy.6 This research examines the correction of indecent refractive errors in pseudophakic ametropia using TICL V4c.
