Objective:To explore the efficacy of implantable collamer lense (ICL) combined with laser keratectomy via corneal epithelium Trans-PRK in the treatment of patients with high myopia and its effect on corneal endothelial cell density.Methods: A prospective analysis was performed on patients with ultra-high myopia admitted to the department of ophthalmology of our hospital from March 2014 to March 2017. Six months after ICL implantation, the patients still had myopia and received Trans PRK treatment again. The number of cases was 30 and 52 eyes. Patients were followed up postoperatively. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), dioptre (D), intraocular pressure, ICL arch height, anterior chamber volume, anterior chamber depth, and changes in corneal endothelial cell counts were observed preoperatively, 6 months after ICL implantation and 6 months after Trans PRK so as to assess the effectiveness and safety of the surgery.Results: UCVA and BCVA of the eyes were significantly higher 6 months after ICL implantation and 6 months after Trans-PRK than those before the surgery, and UCVA of the eyes 6 months after Trans-PRK was significantly higher than that 6 months after ICL implantation. There was no increase in intraocular pressure in all patients after surgery. There was no significant difference in intraocular pressure preoperatively, 6 months after ICL implantation and 6 months after Trans PRK. The ICL arch height of the eyes 6 months after Trans-PRK was slightly lower than that 6 months after ICL implantation, but the difference was not statistically significant. Both anterior chamber volume and anterior chamber depth were significantly lower 6 months after ICL implantation and 6 months after Trans PRK than whose before the surgery, and anterior chamber depth 6 months after Trans PRK was significantly lower than that 6 months after ICL implantation. The number of corneal endothelial cells 6 months after ICL implantation was slightly less than that before surgery, but it was not statistically significant. The number of corneal endothelial cells 6 months after Trans PRK was higher than that 6 months after ICL implantation and close to the preoperative level.Conclusion: Trans PRK can effectively improve the eye diopter of patients with high myopia and residual myopia after ICL implantation. It has little effect on the density of corneal endothelial cells, can significantly improve visual acuity, and achieve the expected operation effect with safe operation, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
