Phakic IOL appear to be less dangerous than excimer laser surgery in those with significant nearsightedness.
2.
The ICL is a posterior chamber, phakic intraocular lens used for the correction of moderate to high refractive errors.
3.
Lattice degeneration occurs in approximately 6 8 % of the general population and in approximately 30 % of phakic retinal detachments.
4.
Known technically as a phakic intraocular lens, Verisyse is inserted through a 6 millimeter incision between the cornea and the iris.
5.
Phakic intraocular lenses are contraindicated in patients who do not have a stable refraction for at least 6 months or are 21 years of age or younger.
6.
Allon Barsam also led a comprehensive review of research leading into the benefits of phakic intraocular lenses over laser surgery, gaining national and international press coverage.
7.
Current models of angle-supported phakic IOLs include : Acrysof AC, Phakic 6, Kelman-Duet, I-Care, ZSAL-4, Vivarte and NuVita.

9.
Phakic IOLs are implanted without removal of the patient's original crystalline lens, and this is performed solely to correct refractive error in the presence of a clear crystalline lens.
10.
Aside corneal refrative procedures ( LASIK, PRK and LASEK ), also introcular refractive procedures ( phakic intraocular lenses, refractive lens exchange and clear lens extraction ) are performed on children.
