Purpose:
To report three cases of Artisan phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation to correct myopic refractive error after previous retinal detachment surgery treated with scleral encircling.
Methods:
Artisan PIOLs were implanted in a 29-year-old man with -21.0 -2.0 x 180 manifest refraction and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of 20/40 (case 1), a 28-year-old woman with BSCVA of 20/20 and -8.5 -1.0 x 180 manifest refraction (case 2), and a 44-year-old man with BSCVA of 20/32 and -11.75 -1.75 x 10 manifest refraction (case 3).
Results:
In case 1, 24 months after implantation of the Artisan PIOL, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/40. In case 2, 24 months after surgery, UCVA was 20/32. In case 3, 3 months after surgery, UCVA was 20/32. There was no formation of new breaks, progressive vitreoretinal traction, or complications.
Conclusions:
The Artisan PIOL may provide an alternative method to correct high myopia after retinal detachment surgery.
