Artisan iris-fixated toric phakic intraocular lens for the correction of high astigmatism after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty

Article Sidebar

Toric phakic intraocular lens (IOL) distances from vital ocular structures (Sirius CSO; Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Florence, Italy) showing the anterior segment of the patient’s eye and illustrating the measured distance between the anterior surface of the phakic IOL and corneal endothelium (2.47 mm), distance between the posterior surface of the phakic IOL and anterior surface of the crystalline lens (0.56 mm), and critical distances (1.71 mm and 2.11 mm).

Abstract

We report the refractive correction of high astigmatism in one eye of a 23-year-old woman following deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) using an Artisan iris-fixated, toric, phakic intraocular lens (IOL). One year after implantation, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities were both 20/25, refraction was −1.00 D cylinder, and the endothelial cell count was 1827 cells/mm2. Iris-fixated phakic IOLs are not recommended for every postkeratoplasty patient with high refractive error; however, this procedure can offer good outcomes in carefully selected cases of previous DALK.
