Phakic posterior chamber IOLs • Cells involved in crystalline lens and capsular bag opacification • Evolution of designs of PPCIOLs • Relevant aspects of fixation and sizing • Sizing issue: New studies • Surgical implantation • Relationship between cataract and myopia • Cataractogenesis • Specimens analyzed in our Center • Mechanisms • Review of the literature • Classification of cataracts after phakic IOL implantation?
Surgical implantation • Nd:YAG laser iridotomies: 2 superior iridotomies; placed 90 degrees apart (to avoid pupillary block); performed 1 or 2 weeks before surgery -Cataractogenetic effect? -Contribute to pigment deposition on the IOLs -1 single surgical iridectomy may be performed intraoperatively (risk of bleeding)
Surgical implantation 2) Incision (foldable lenses, thus, small incision; may be planned to correct pre-existing astigmatism) 3) Injection of viscoelastics (important to protect adjacent tissues and to allow the lens to unfold in a controlled manner) 4) Lens insertion: -ICL injector/forceps -PRL special forceps/injector
Surgical implantation 5) Placement of the haptics behind the iris (spatula/hook) -No pressure should be placed on the crystalline lens 6) Pupil contriction with miotic agents 7) Viscoelastic removal (irrigation or irrigation/aspiration) 8) Wound closure Postoperative treatment: -Steroid/antibiotic (4 weeks) -Oral acetazolamide (48 hours) retained viscoelastics
Surgical implantation -The crystalline lens should ideally not be touched at all during the surgery -Many opportunities to have accidental contact with the anterior capsule of the crystalline lens -Anterior capsule trauma may lead to crystalline lens opacities months later
