Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2023, Vol 38, Issue 10
Abstract
[Objective:] To assess the efficacy and safety of phakic refractive lens (PRL) implantation for the correction of ultra-high myopia. [Methods:] This self-controlled case series study included 39 eyes of 24 patients with ultra-high myopia who underwent PRL implantation at Shenzhen Eye Hospital between January 2018 and September 2020. The study comprised 13 eyes in 8 males and 26 eyes in 16 females, with a mean age of (31.15 ± 6.33) years. Postoperative parameters, including refraction, visual acuity (UCVA, BCVA), intraocular pressure, corneal endothelial cell count, vault, and surgical complication were observed. [Results:] The median follow-up time was 5.5 (3, 11) months. The refraction significantly decreased from preoperative (−22.29±4.96) D to postoperative (−0.28±1.01) D (t=24.421, P<0.001). Postoperatively, 82.4% of eyes achieved a spherical degree within ±0.5 D, and 91.2% within ±1.0 D. LogMAR UCVA significantly improved from 1.40 (1.30, 1.70) preoperatively to (0.28±0.20) postoperatively. LogMAR BCVA significantly improved from 0.40 (0.22, 0.70) preoperatively to 0.15 (0.00, 0.30) postoperatively (P<0.001 for all). Postoperative BCVA improved by 3.00 (1.00, 5.00) lines compared with preoperative BCVA, with no instances of BCVA loss in any patient. Intraocular pressure values showed significant differences among preoperative, 1 day postoperative and last follow up (F=8.779, P=0.012). Intraocular pressure increased significantly 1 day after surgery compared to before surgery (Z=−3.401, P=0.001), but decreased significantly at the last follow-up compared to 1 day postoperatively (Z=−2.685, P=0.007), with no significant difference in intraocular pressure between preoperative and last follow-up (Z=−0.894, P=0.371). Corneal endothelial cell count decreased significantly from preoperative (2 782.20±296.30)/mm2 to postoperative (2 472.54±394.32)/mm2 (t=−5.437, P<0.001), with a mean loss of 11.2%. The average vault at the last follow-up was (379.00±283.27) μm, of which 0~250 μm in 12 eyes (36.4%), 250~750 μm in 19 eyes (57.6%), and > 750 μm in 2 eyes (6%). In 21 eyes, the vault at 3 months postoperative (269.81±194.67) μm was significantly lower than that at 1 month postoperative (373.62±195.75) μm (t=−2.917, P=0.009). Postoperative complications included steroid-induced glaucoma (2 eyes in 1 case), PRL optical surface crack (1 eye), macular hemorrhage (1 eye), and PRL decentration (3 eyes in 2 cases). Conclusions: PRL implantation is a safe and effective intraocular refractive surgery for ultra-high myopic patients. Nonetheless, it should be neccessary to observe for long-term efficacy and saff lens; high myopia
