Phakic intraocular lenses outcomes and complications: Artisan vs Visian ICL.
Eye 2011 October
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and visual outcomes of two phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) for correction of high myopia: Artisan and Visian ICL (ICL).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, a phakic IOL was implanted in 68 highly myopic eyes of 34 patients; 42 eyes received an Artisan IOL, and 26 eyes received ICL IOL.
RESULTS: All patients completed a 1-year follow-up. The mean preoperative spherical equivalent (SEQ) was -12.89 ± 3.78, and -12.44 ± 4.15 diopters (D) for Artisan and ICL (P=0.078), respectively. The mean postoperative (1-year) uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.39 ± 0.13 and 0.41 ± 0.15 logMAR for Artisan and ICL, respectively (P=0.268). The mean postoperative (1-year) corrected distance visual acuity was 0.36 ± 0.12 and 0.31 ± 0.12 logMAR for Artisan and ICL, respectively (P=0.128). The mean postoperative SEQ was -0.86 ± 0.5 and -0.63 ± 0.38 D for Artisan and ICL, respectively (P=0.67). Intraocular pressure change at 1 year was 0.64 ± 2.7 and 1.88 ± 0.6 mm Hg for Artisan and ICL, respectively (P=0.77).
CONCLUSION: Artisan and ICL showed equal and comparable safety, predictability, and efficacy.
