| Popis: | Purpose To describe the appearance of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in two myopic patients after implantation of a phakic refractive lens (PRL) and an iris-claw lens. METHODS A PRL was implanted in the left eye of a 35-year-old myopic man. Five weeks later, he reported decreased best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Fluorescein angiography revealed juxtafoveal CNV. Photodynamic therapy with Visudyne (PDT) was successfully performed, achieving closure of the membrane. BCVA was 20/40 3 months afterwards. An iris-claw lens was implanted in the left eye of a 24-year-old myopic man. BCVA after surgery was 20/40 (SE -0.75). Three years later subfoveal CNV was diagnosed. PDT was performed, achieving complete closure of CNV. BCVA was 20/100 3 months after treatment. CONCLUSIONS The appearance of CNV in myopic eyes corrected by phakic intraocular lens implantation is a possible complication that must be considered. |
