22 Phakic IOL implantation
22.1.2 Postoperative evaluation
The Scheimpflug image shown below displays the same case after successful Artisan pIOL
implantation. It is evident there is space from the anterior pIOL surface to the endothelium centrally
and at the periphery
(Figure 177)
. The posterior of the pIOL also has enough distance to the iris and
to the crystalline lens. Her post-op refraction:
OD: sph +0.25 cyl -1.00 A 180°
OS: sph +0.50 cyl -1.00 A 180°
We had a good pre-op planning process and a happy post-op patient.

22.2.1 Myopic Artisan/Verisyse 6/8.5 mm
A 40-year-old female:
OD: sph -15,00 cyl -1.25 A 82° VA 20/30
OS: sph -14.75 cyl -1.75 A 83° VA 20/30
She complained of poor contact lens tolerance because of dry eyes with less than 3 hours
daily wearing time. In view of her high ametropia in both eyes and her age we considered pIOL
implantation to preserve her ability to accommodate.
