Abstract
PURPOSE: To explore the effectiveness and rotational stability of vertical implantation of the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) (STAAR Surgical) to treat myopia. METHODS: This was a prospective, randomized, controlled study, including 78 eyes from 46 patients with myopia who underwent ICL implantation. The patients were randomly divided into vertical and horizontal implantation groups. At 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery, rotational stability was evaluated using the postoperative axis deviation from the intended axis by the digital anterior segment photograph. The vault, crystalline lens rise, anterior chamber depth, manifest refraction spherical equivalent, intraocular pressure, and visual acuity values were obtained before and after surgery. RESULTS: = .033, .037). CONCLUSIONS: .
