Optical and Visual Quality of the Visian Implantable lollamer Lens Using an Adaptive-Optics Visual Simulator

摘要

THERE IS AN INCREASING NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO wish to correct their refractive error by means of refractive surgery. Even though nowadays the most popular option is still laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), there are other options available, such as the implantation of phakic intraocular lenses, which is a good alternative when high levels of myopia or hyperopia are to be corrected, since patients with high refractive errors or thin corneas may not be good candidates for LASIK because of the risk for corneal ectasia.
