The use of phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs) is a small but emerging area in refractive surgery. For patients with high myopia and inadequate vision with glasses or intolerance to contact lenses, options are limited. Corneal refractive surgery such as LASIK can safely and reliably correct myopia up to approximately – 12 diopters, but at higher diopters

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2002
Since Zaldivar's review of phakic intraocular lenses in these pages in 2000 [1**], further reports of experience with this technology have emerged. Their relative advantages and disadvantages over competing technologies are becoming clearer. Clinical trials, including Food & Drug Administration (FDA) trials, have shown predictability, stability, and ...

Laser in-situ keratomileusis has been tremendously successful in treating patients with mild and moderate ametropias. For patients with high degrees of refractive error, however, phakic intraocular lenses provide superior quality of vision without the risk of corneal ectasia.

Recent advances in the design and material of phakic intraocular lenses have made them very predictable, safe and effective. The use of these lenses in refractive surgery is expected to increase very significantly in the near future. The aim of this review is to update the reader regarding the recent advances reported on this topic during 2007.Several ...

ABSTRACT We found that an intraocular lens with a bonded coating of sodium hyaluronate caused less cell damage than an uncoated lens. We also found that an intraocular lens bonded with sodium hyaluronate will provide not only better adherence to viscoelastic materials and endothelial protection, but also may allow for better manipulation of ...

Survey of Ophthalmology, 2005
An analytical review of the data available in the field of phakic intraocular lens implantation was conducted. Particular attention was paid to the more critical issues of intraocular lens sizing and safety guidelines. A comprehensive, competitive analysis of different implantation sites, intraocular lens model designs, and safety guidelines has been ...

Cataract remains a major source of blindness in many countries throughout the world. Although modern medicine and technology have combined to provide an almost ideal solution, availability of modern cataract and lens implant surgery is restricted, even in developed nations. The health care "cake" is not always divided fairly in favor of ophthalmology

I have again reviewed the current state of the art in intraocular lens design in what has been a year of consolidation rather than dramatic discoveries. In foldable lenses, silicone reigns supreme, but there is the promising development of high-refractive-index foldable acrylic lenses.

An in-depth review of the current status of soft intraocular lenses (IOLs) is presented. We have outlined the historical aspects of IOL development from polymethylmethacrylate material to newer soft polymers such as silicones and hydrogels. Chemical, physical, and biomaterial properties as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these materials and

Current multifocal intraocular lens designs incorporate refractive or diffractive optical principles to achieve increased depth of focus. Information about four basic design concepts is presented. Early clinical results with two of these, the IOLAB Nuvue two-zone refractive multifocal and the 3M diffractive multifocal, are summarized.
