Abstract:PURPOSE: To assess the incidence of cataract, potential causes of its development, and the outcome of cataract surgery after previous implantation of phakic angle-supported anterior chamber intraocular lenses (AC IOLs) in highly myopic patients. SETTING: Instituto Oftalmológico de Alicante, Department of Refractive Surgery, Spain. METHODS: Two hundred sixty-three highly myopic phakic eyes of 160 patients had implantation of a phakic AC IOL. Follow-up was up to 8 years (range 38.4 to 103.2 months). Eyes that subsequently developed cataract had cataract extraction and were studied during follow-up for clinical association to other preoperative or postoperative data. Cataract surgery was performed after phakic IOL explantation by phacoemulsification and posterior chamber IOL (PC IOL) implantation (Domilens-Chiron AL3). RESULTS: Nuclear cataract developed in 9 cases (3.42%) a mean of 42.91 months +/- 17.7 (SD) after phakic AC IOL implantation. Final best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was not significantly different from that after phakic AC IOL implantation (P =.25, paired Student t test). Mean endothelial cell loss after cataract surgery was 6.87% +/- 0.42% cells/mm(2). Age at implantation of older than 40 years and axial length greater than 30. 0 mm were the 2 factors significantly related to nuclear cataract development (r = 1.69 and 1.98, respectively; P <.05). CONCLUSIONS: There is a potential risk of nuclear cataract development after phakic AC IOL implantation to correct high myopia in patients older than 40 years and with very high (greater than 30.0 mm) axial myopia. Phakic IOL explantation, phacoemulsification, and PC IOL implantation successfully resolved this complication. The benefits in terms of BSCVA and spherical equivalent obtained after phakic AC IOL implantation were preserved after cataract surgery.
