Safety and Suitability of Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) Implantation for Correction of Refractive Errors Without the Use of Dispersive Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Devices (OVDs)
In Brief
An observational study evaluating phakic intraocular lens implantation traditional and phakic intraocular lens implantation reduced OVD for Refractive Errors and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 448 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this observational study is to test whether surgeries for lenses designed to be implanted in the eye to correct refractive error can be done without the need for using viscoelastic substances that are used routinely nowadays to make it easier to introduce them inside the human eye and protect the inside of the eye during the operation. The main question it aims to answer is that is it safe to do the surgery without using them? to answer this question researchers will access recorded data of patients that underwent refractive surgeries in a private clinic since 2017 and compare them as two groups: those who underwent the traditional procedures and those who had it without the use of dispersive viscoelastics in regard to their vision before and after surgery, their ocular pressure and biomicroscopic analysis of the inside of their corneas before and after surgery.

Interventions
patients with refractive errors undergo surgical implantation of a lens inside the eye (implantable collamer lens or ICL) to correct these refractive errors. The procedure is done with help of use of both cohesive and dispersive OVD
