Abstract
IPCL is a hydrophilic implant made of acrylic material with central hole and six haptics to allow better stability in the ciliary sulcus1.
Recently, IPCL has become popular and effective option for correction of myopia2. Unlike corneal refractive surgery IPCL is a reversible and can be replaced with another one. IPCL can correct higher degrees of myopia.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IPCL (Care Group, Baroda, India)TM for correction of myopia with evaluation of the anterior segment, the anatomical position of IPCL, and its relationship to adjacent ocular structures using pentacam.
The evaluation of anterior segment parameters before and after IPCL implantation this study relied on the Pentacam (Oculus, Germany)TM due to its high accuracy and reliability.
The study included 30 eyes of 16 patients with high myopia (-8.00D to -21.00D) who underwent IPCL implantation for myopia correction and completed 6 months of postoperative follow-up.
This study showed a significant improvement in the mean refraction and visual outcome after implantation of IPCL V2.0 up till 6 months of follow-up, with no significant change in corneal morphology. Lens vaulting, anterior chamber parameters and IOP remained stable at all follow up visits.
No sight threatening complications occurred during the follow-up period such as cataract, permanent glaucoma, endophthalmitis and retinal detachment.
Although IPCL was more economically viable, it had results in terms of safety and predictability no less than what were demonstrated with ICL(Staar , Switzerland).
