Abstract
ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to predict the vault of implantable collamer lens (ICL) using a formula established based on the preoperative parameters.MethodsThis retrospective study included data on 226 eyes from 114 patients(the median age and range was 27.5 ± 5.7; 18–46 years) who underwent EVO-ICL surgery between May 2021 and April 2022. Preoperative parameters, such as anterior chamber depth (ACD) horizontal angle-to-angle diameter (ATA), Crystalline lens rise (CLR), and vault (1 week after surgery) were measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography. The axial length of eyes (AL) and white-to-white (WTW) values were measured using an IOLmaster and calipers under a slit lamp separately.ResultThe mean WTW, ACD, horizontal ATA diameter, CLR, AL, and vault 1 week after surgery were 11.42 ± 0.37 mm, 3.25 ± 0.25 mm, 11.72 ± 0.44 mm, 45.78 ± 175.42 μm, 27.61 ± 1.93 mm, and 586.51 ± 254.54 μm respectively. Multivariate regression analysis showed that the ICL-width, ACD (β = 0.293), ATA (β =-0.657), CLR (β =-0.157), and the anterior chamber angle in temporal side (T:ACA) (β=-0.277) were predictors of the vault size (adjusted-R2 = 0.39, P < 0.001).ConclusionThe formula built based on these preoperative parameters could be used to predict the vault before surgery. The predictors indicated that the pre-operative parameters of eye such as ACD, ATA, CLR and T:ACA play an important role in choosing optimal ICL size.
