| Popis: | PURPOSE: To assess intraocular pressure measured with a Goldmann tonometer over a period of 1 year after implantation of a Worst-Fechner anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens to correct myopia of -7.00 D or more. METHODS: We performed a prospective, nonmasked study of 100 patients (100 myopic eyes) who had a Worst-Fechner phakic intraocular lens implanted to correct myopia of -7.00 D or greater. Central corneal Goldmann tonometry was performed before surgery and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The influence of different variables was assessed. RESULTS: IOP showed a significant increase of of a mean 2.1 mmHg at 3 months after surgery (P=. 001). There was not a statistically significant difference between IOP before surgery and 6 months after PIOL implantation (P=.244) or 1 year after surgery (P=.845). In one eye, the lens was explanted 11 months after surgery because of the presence of ocular hypertension. No variables studied showed a statistically significant difference from before to after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Worst-Fechner anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation led to a slight transitory increase of intraocular pressure during the first 3 months after surgery, but returned to preoperative levels by 6 months after implantation.
