Accommodation changes after visian implantable collamer lens with central hole for high myopia: A STROBE-compliant...

To characterize the accommodative changes in high-myopic patients after the implantation of the Visian implantable collamer lens with a central hole (ICL V4c).This prospective study enrolled 30 patients (60 eyes) with uneventful surgery of ICL V4c implantation. Parameters including amplitude of accommodation (AA), monocular and binocular facility of accommodation (FA), positive relative accommodation (PRA), negative relative accommodation (NRA), near point convergence (NPC), accommodative response, and accommodation convergence/accommodation (AC/A) ratio were assessed before surgery, at 1 and 3 months postoperatively.Mean preoperative SE was -10.86 ± 3.87 diopter (D) (range, -6.5D to -22D), which improved to 0.27 ± 0.51D at 1 month and 0.09 ± 0.47D at 3 months after surgery (P <.001). Significant improvements in AA, NRA, PRA, NPC, monocular, and binocular FA were seen at 1 month and 3 months postoperatively compared to the values before surgery (P <.05), but the difference between 1 month and 3 months were not obvious (P >.05) except for binocular FA (P = .002). However, no significant changes were seen in either AC/A ratio or accommodative response at any postoperative follow-ups in contrast to those before surgery (P >.05). Similar changes in accommodative function were found in patients with less myopia (> -10.00D) and those with more myopia (≤10.00D) (P >.05).The accommodative function of eyes after the implantation of ICL V4c is enhanced and stabilizes at 1 month, except for the AC/A ratio and accommodative response. The clearer vision and increased amount of accommodation for near target account for the majority of the improvement.
