title: [Refractive phakic IOLs: three different models and contact with the crystalline lens. An AC-OCT study].
abstract: Three patients received three different models of phakic implants. With the usual slit-lamp examination method, we were not able to establish whether there was contact between the implants and the natural crystalline lens. Using the anterior chamber optical coherence tomography scanner (AC-OCT), we were able to demonstrate that there was direct contact between the natural crystalline lens and the three different phakic implants. A dynamic study of these contacts was carried out during accommodation. These observations show that examination of the anterior segment with the optical coherence tomography scanner is essential in refractive surgery.
