Keratoconus correction using intrastromal corneal ring segments and posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation.

摘要

The central unsolved mystery in this case is the - space "between the =2 IOLs that persisted unchanged for 3 months before an additional procedure was considered. We believe the answer rests with the physical design of the low-powered Clariflex IOL (Abbott Medical Optics, Inc.). This particular IOL series (10.0 D to + 1.50 D) is manufactured as a meniscus lens with a concave posterior surface and an edge design (Op-tiEdge) that is thicker than the optic. The net result is that the edge and posterior optic surface create an offset, separating the 2 IOLs and generating the space noted in the ultrasound biomicroscopy (Figure 2) in the Consultation Section.
