| Popis: | PURPOSE: To report a case of reversal of myopic anisometropia amblyopia with phakic intraocular lens implantation. METHODS: A 6-year-old boy with anisometropic amblyopia with spherical equivalent refraction of right eye: -14.00 -3.00 x 100°, left eye: -0.50 -3.25 x 90°, was treated for 2 years with occlusion to the left eye, with poor results. Refractive surgery was planned because of contact lens intolerance at age 8 years. A -15.00-D iris claw Artisan intraocular lens (IOL) was implanted. RESULTS: Following surgery, treatment of the amblyopia and spectacle correction of -4.00 D cylinder at 85° in the right eye and -3.50 D cylinder at 90° in the left eye was necessary. Visual acuity ? months after surgery was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye, and has remained stable 18 months after surgery. CONCLUSION: Myopic anisometropic amblyopia in an 8-year-old boy was treated successfully with implantation of an Artisan iris claw phakic anterior chamber IOL, combined with occlusion therapy, and resulted in reversal of amblyopia.
