Endothelial Cell Changes after Implantable Collamer Lens Surgery in Eyes with Different Anterior Chamber Depth

For la llong ltime, lmany ltrials lhave lbeen ldone lin lorder lto lcorrect lrefractive lerrors. lThis lwas leither lwith lclassical lapproaches lsuch las lspectacles land lcontact llenses lor lby lrefractive lsurgeries lwhich lhave lbecome lan lacceptable lalternative lfor la llarge lnumber lof lpatients land lsurgeons lover lthe lpast lthree ldecades. lPhakic lIOL lwith lits ldifferent ltypes lhas lbecome lone lof l lsurgical lalternatives lin lorder lto lcorrect lrefractive lerrors.. lThe lpresent lwork lstudied lthe leffect lof lanterior lchamber ldepth lon lcorneal lendothelium lcell lcount land lmorphology lincluding lcentral lcorneal lthickness l(CCT), lcell ldensity l(CD), lcoefficient lof lvariation l(CV) lafter limplantable lcollamer llens l(ICL) lsurgery. lOur lstudy lincluded ltwenty leyes lwith lhigh lmyopia. lTen leyes, lwith lAC ldepth lbelow l3.50mm. lOther ltwenty leyes, lwith lAC ldepth labove l3.50mm. lAll ltwenty leyes lwere limplanted lwith lICL. lIn lboth ltypes; lthe lsurgery lwas lsafe, leffective, lpredictable land lhad la llow lcomplication lrate. lIt lalso lprovided lrapid lvisual lrehabilitation land llong lterm lstability. l lFollow lup lof lthese leyes lhas lbeen ldone lfor lthree lmonths lpostoperative. lWe lfound lthat, lThe lBCVA limproved lone lto ltwo llines lfrom lthe lpreoperative lvalues lin lboth ltypes land lthe lrefractive lresults lof lboth ltype lwere lstable. lAs lfor lthe lendothelial lcell lcount; lthe lprcentage lchanges lin lCD lis lmore lwith lgroup lI l(AC ldepth< l3.50mm). lHowerver lNo lsignificant ldifferences lwere lfound lregarding lthe lCD lchange, lother lparameters lof lcorneal lendothelium lbetween lgroup lI land lII. lBoth lgroups lcaused lneither lretinal ldetachment, lnor lpupillary lblock. lHence, lACD leffect lon lboth lgroups lwere lequal las lregards lthe leffect lon lcorneal lendothelium land lpostoperative lAC linflammation, lpredictability, lefficacy land lthe leffect lon lIOP.
