Abstract

Purpose : Although proof exists that a smaller distance from an IF-pIOL to the corneal endothelium results in increased EC-loss, no model incorporates preoperative IF-pIOL simulations to predict EC-loss before surgery. We performed a prospective, observational clinical study using preoperative EC density (ECD), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and the simulated central (sCD) and peripheral (sPD) distance from the IF-pIOL to the endothelium to compose a model that predicts EC-loss in myopic eyes implanted with IF-pIOLs.

Methods : 179 eyes of 95 patients that underwent preoperative IF-pIOL simulation followed by implantation of myopic (toric) IF-pIOLs at the University Eye Clinic Maastricht, between 2006 and June 2016, were included in the current analysis. Preoperative mean age was 38±12 years. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was used to determine ACD, sCD and sPD, and specular microscopy to determine ECD. Specular microscopy measurements were repeated 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively, followed by annual assessments. A mixed-model linear regression analysis was performed with eye identification number as a grouping variable and time, preop ECD, ACD, sCD, sPD and significant interactions with time as covariates.

Results : Multiple models were composed to assess the necessity of preoperative IF-pIOL simulation, because mean preoperative ACD (3.23±0.36mm), sCD (2.40±0.33mm) and sPD (1.90±0.29mm) were highly correlated (p<0.001). All models used preoperative ECD, time, covariate (ie. ACD, sCD or sPD), and interaction between time and covariate to predict ECD. Only interactions between time and ACD (p=0.002) or sCD (p=0.005) were significant predictors. Using the mean preoperative ECD of 2725.4 cells/mm2 and the mean ACD or sCD, both models reached a critical ECD of 1500 cells/mm2 after 21 years (range 15 to 32 years when using the mean±1SD ACD or sCD), with a predicted total 5-year EC-loss of -12% (range -15 to -9% when using the mean±1SD ACD or sCD).

Conclusions : The results of both models emphasize smaller anterior chamber dimensions as risk factors and predictors of higher EC-loss, and suggest IF-pIOL simulation does not add a significant benefit in predicting EC-loss in IF-pIOL implanted myopic eyes.
