Preoperative simulation of postoperative iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens position and simulation of aging using high-resolution Scheimpflug imaging

From the Department of Ophthalmology (Tehrani, Koeppe, Dick), Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz, and Oculus (Schaefer), Wetzlar, Germany

Accepted 16 July 2006.

To increase postoperative safety after implantation of iris-fixated phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs), optimal preoperative evaluation and patient selection is mandatory. We present a new software tool in a high-resolution Scheimpflug imaging device that precisely simulates the postoperative position of an iris-fixated pIOL and also simulates the effect of aging on the pIOL's position.
