Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes of the anterior chamber (AC) of the eye after implantable Collamer lens (ICL) implantation in high myopia by using the Schwind Sirius Topographer.

Methods: 34 eyes with high myopia underwent Staar Visian implantable Collamer lens (ICL) implantation. The Schwind Sirius topography was used for all cases both pre- operatively and 6 months postoperatively. AC angle (ACA), AC volume (ACV), central AC depth (CACD) and ICL vault were recorded

Results: Mean ACA was 31.93°±4.35° preoperatively, 22.17° ± 3.64° at 6 months postoperatively. Mean CACD was 3.39 ± 0.14 mm preoperatively and 2.63±0.21mm at 6 months postoperatively.

Conclusion: ICL implantation for correction of high myopia leads to significant changes in the anterior chamber angle, volume and depth. This is a first of a kind prospective study to evaluate the changes using Schwind Sirius topography.
