Purpose: To compare the dynamic vault range (the difference in the central vault height from scotopic to photopic light condition) after implantation of the ICL/TICL (STAAR Surgical) and Eyecryl phakic/Eyecryl phakic toric intraocular lens (IOL) (Biotech Healthcare). Methods: This retrospective study included patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism eligible for phakic IOL implantation with either the ICL/TICL or Eyecryl phakic/Eyecryl phakic toric IOL. Vault changes in varying light conditions (scotopic, mesopic, and photopic) were assessed using an anterior segment optical coherence tomography–based tomographer and dynamic vault range (DVR) was compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 60 eyes from 36 patients (30 eyes in each group) with a mean age of 28.63 ± 6.36 years were included. The mean postoperative follow-up at the time of assessment was 9.4 ± 5.3 and 8.9 ± 5.28 months (P =.75) in the ICL and Eyecryl groups, respectively. The mean values of scotopic, mesopic, and photopic vault were 490.56 ± 238.64, 453.56 ± 224.30, and 373.96 ± 200.24 μm in the ICL group and 515.46 ± 174.34, 490.26 ± 184.04, 450.43 ± 173.92 μm in the Eyecryl group (P =.32,.24, and.05, respectively). The DVR was 116.6 ± 59.29 μm in the ICL group versus 65.03 ± 31.78 μm in the Eyecryl group (P <.001). Conclusions: The Eyecryl phakic IOL showed significantly fewer light-induced changes in the central vault height (DVR) compared to the ICL, which may be attributed to the difference in the material of the two phakic IOL models. This may be clinically significant in eyes with low postoperative vaults with respect to their follow-up and risk assessment of cataractogenesis in the long term.
