What Type of Lenses are Used in Lens Implantation Surgery?
Artisan was the first anterior chamber lens developed. It’s made of rigid plastic, so it cannot be folded, requiring a large incision during surgery and often multiple stitches.
Later, the Artiflex lens was developed. Since Artiflex is foldable, it can be inserted through a smaller incision. However, the challenge with anterior chamber lenses is that most patients don’t have enough space in the front part of the eye to accommodate the lens.
To secure these lenses, the outer “claw-like” arms are used to clip onto the iris. While Artiflex offers stability by minimizing lens movement, over time, the area where the lens is attached to the iris can atrophy or even develop holes.
Due to these concerns, anterior chamber lens implantation is rarely performed nowadays.
What Is a Posterior Chamber Lens?
Having an ICL inside the eye does not cause foreign body sensation or worsen dry eye symptoms. However, it’s crucial to select and implant a lens that fits the individual’s eye for optimal results.
Most lenses used for this procedure are ICL lenses, which are made from a biocompatible material containing porcine collagen. This makes the lens highly compatible with the human eye, minimizing the risk of rejection or inflammation.
