Purpose:
This study aimed to analyze the relationship between visual quality and implantable collamer lenses (ICL) decentration.
Design:
Prospective treatment evaluation clinical study METHODS: This prospective study included 119 eyes with ICL implantation. Refractive parameters and ocular aberrations were examined pre- and postoperatively. ICL decentration and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were evaluated using the OPD-Scan III aberrometer.
Results:
At the 1-month follow-up, the mean values for decentration were 0.38 ± 0.19 mm (0.02-0.78). Regarding the position of decentration in right and left eyes, 22.8% and 17.7% were located in the superior nasal section, 0% and 6.5% in the inferior nasal section, 50.9% and 53.2% in the superior temporal section, and 26.3% and 22.6% in the inferior temporal section, respectively. The root mean square values of whole-eye total HOAs, coma, and trefoil had significantly increased. Decentration had a significant negative correlation with variation in the pre- and postoperative trefoils of the whole eye.
Conclusions:
ICL decentration had a slightly negative correlation with trefoil and slightly affected visual quality.
