Central vault after phakic intraocular lens implantation : correlation with anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, spherical equivalent, and patient age

Abstract

To compare the central postoperative vault of a phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) to correct myopia, myopic astigmatism, and hyperopia and identify ocular and lens parameters that might predict the vault amount.Supported in part by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion research grants (SAF2008-01114 and SAF2009-13342) (Dr. Montes-Mico) and a Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia of Portugal grant (FCT-SFRH-BD-34303-2007) (Dr. Fernandes)
