Abstract
Aim. To determinete the dependence of value of the postoperative vault height of the phakic intraocular lens on the calculated parameters. Evaluation of the effect of postoperative vault height on autorefractometry parameters. Methods. Preoperative diagnostic data were analyzed: anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance (WtW), implanted phakic intraocular lens size, and postoperative PIOL vault height (VAULT) data in the late postoperative period on the ANTERION multimodal imaging platform (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) after 1.5–2 years, and the value of refraction. The total number of observations was 20 eyes (10 patients). Results. The mean value of VAULT among the observed patients was 438±111.7 mkm. The average value of the PIOL size was 12.9±5.3 units. The average depth of the anterior chamber was 3.12±0.2 mm. The performed correlation analysis showed that the VAULT index does not depend on the size of the PIOL, the value of the depth of the anterior chamber of the eye, and the value of WtW. A reliable, strong and direct correlation was established between the PIOL size and the WtW value. Conclusion. The presented analysis showed that the value of VAULT in patients in the late postoperative period does not depend on the values of the variables WtW, the depth of the anterior chamber, and the size of the PIOL. Key words: phakic intraocular lens; phakic IOL vault height; anterior chamber depth; optical coherence tomography.
