Introduction
To evaluate the early results: predictability, efficacy and safety of implanting new model of anterior chamber IOL for high myopia. Material and methods ICARE myopia lens (Corneal) was implanted in 20 eyes of 12 patients with preoperative myopia that ranged from -10D to -23,5D. Mean patient age was 32,3 years. The follow-up period was 6 months. The desired outcome was emmetropia. Results Eighteen eyes (85%) had a postoperative refraction at the last follow-up examination in a range ±1,0 D of emmetropia. The postoperative refraction remained stable during the entire follow-up period. Mean visual acuity before surgery, corrected with spectacle improved from 0,5 to 0,68 postoperatively without glasses in 3 months time. There was no loss in visual acuity after operation. We didn't encounter major complications. Mean endothelial cell density reduction was 3,2% in our 3 months study. Conclusions Implantation of ICARE myopia lens to correct high myopia resulted in a stable and predictable refractive outcome. Further investigation is necessary to evaluate long-term stability and safety of this procedure. keywords:
