Abstract
- PURPOSE: To report a 10-year follow-up for bilateral implantation of a Chiron Adatomed silicone posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (PIOL). METHODS: A 32-year-old man presented with bilateral blurred vision and monocular diplopia in the left eye of 2 years' duration. RESULTS: Slit-lamp microscopy showed bilateral anterior subcapsular cataract and temporal PIOL decentration, and no visible space between the PIOL and crystalline lens in the right eye. After explantation of the posterior chamber PIOL, lens aspiration, and IOL implantation, uncorrected visual acuity improved to 20/15 in the right eye. Scanning electron microscopy examination showed denser deposits on the central portion of the back surface when compared with the edges. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term follow up of certain designs of posterior chamber PIOLs may reveal late occurrence of complications. Cataract formation may be related to direct contact between the implanted and crystalline lenses. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:513-515.]
