Collamer intraocular contact lens to correct high myopia

Abstract: Because of the incomplete follow-up, we cannot draw conclusions about the long-term safety of the implantable contact lens. The intimate contact between the contact lens and the natural lens raises the possibility of cataract formation. However, examination by Scheimpflug photography and ultrasound biomicroscopy showed no progressive lens opacities.

“…These results are even better compared with those of other posterior chamber lenses. [18][19][20][21][22] Few short-term complications were observed, such as IOP increase during the first postoperative day because of residual viscoelastic 23 and during the first month because of corticosteroid response. Corticosteroids were used to prevent postsurgery inflammation, but it might instead to avoid this steroid side effect.…”

“…1,2 One is the thin and flexible ICL (implantable contact/corrective lens) (ICL by Staar Surgical, now Visian ICL), which is made of Collamer, a hydrophilic porcine collagen-hydroxyethyl methacrylate copolymer containing an ultraviolet chromophore. 3,4 Because refractive phakic lens surgery is minimally invasive, predictable, and stable, good results have been obtained with ICL implantation in hyperopic and myopic patients. 5 However, because it is intraocular surgery, phakic IOL implantation can cause complications.…”

“…One of the major postoperative complications of TICL use was high IOP [19], and the main reasons for high IOP in these patients were as follows: (1) sodium hyaluronate was intraoperatively left in the posterior chamber and pupil area, thus blocking the chamber angle; and (2) the use of steroids induced ocular hypertension. During the surgery, we used the I/A system (AMO phacoemulsification instrument).…”
