Messaggio Implantation of Artisan Toric Phakic Intraocular Lenses
http://www.noorvision.com/weblog/archiv ... _of_2.html


JOURNAL OF REFRACTIVE SURGERY Vol. 21 No. 3 May/June 2005
Artisan toric PIOLs were implanted uneventfully in both eyes of three patients with keratoconus with clear central corneas and contact lens intolerance.

RESULTS
Best spectacle-corrected subjective visual acuity after lens implantation was unchanged in one eye and improved in five eyes. Spherical equivalent refraction was significantly reduced in all eyes (P=.03). The safety index was 1.49.

CONCLUSIONS
The implantation of an Artisan toric PIOL may be an alternative for treating astigmatism and myopia in contact lens intolerant patients with keratoconus with clear central corneas. Especially in patients with associated myopia, this procedure is worth considering before planning a penetrating keratoplasty.
