ABSTRACT
Background/Objectives:
This study aimed to evaluate the visual outcomes and prognosis after cataract surgery in patients with prior history of Verisyse phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation.Methods:
A retrospective cohort study involving 215 Verisyse pIOL implantations and 17 explantations was conducted. The Verisyse pIOL was disenclaved and removed through a superior scleral tunnel incision. Cataract extraction with phacoemulsification was then performed through a temporal clear corneal incision.Results:
An occurrence rate of 7.9% of eyes with cataract formation was found. Both uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected visual acuity (CDVA) three months after cataract surgery were significantly improved (0.24 ± 0.30 vs. 0.73 ± 0.48; p < 0.001 and 0.10 ± 0.14 vs. 0.30 ± 0.31; p = 0.004, respectively). The UDVA was 20/20 or better in 41% of eyes and 20/40 or better in 65% of eyes. The CDVA was 20/20 or better in 53% of eyes and 20/40 or better in 88% of eyes. The safety and efficacy indices were 1.96 ± 1.68 and 1.60 ± 1.36, respectively.Conclusions:
Various complications including cataracts may develop in these patients. Verisyse pIOLs have a lower incidence of cataract formation and are more likely to lead to age-related cataracts rather than the anterior subcapsular cataracts commonly seen in implantable collamer lens (ICL) patients. Patients with a prior history of Verisyse pIOL can expect to have a good visual prognosis after cataract extraction.
