  • Title: Contact between 3 phakic intraocular lens models and the crystalline lens: an anterior chamber optical coherence tomography study.
    Author: Baikoff G, Lutun E, Wei J, Ferraz C.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2004 Sep; 30(9):2007-12. PubMed ID: 15342071.
    Abstract:
    Three phakic intraocular lens (IOL) models were implanted in 3 different patients. With the usual slitlamp examination, it was not possible to determine whether there was contact between the IOLs and the natural crystalline lens. Using the anterior chamber optical coherence tomography (AC OCT) scanner, direct contact between the natural crystalline lens and the 3 phakic IOLs was revealed. A dynamic study of the contact was performed during accommodation. These observations show that examination of the anterior segment with the AC OCT scanner provides new data about the status of the anterior segment after implantation of phakic IOLs.
