Abstract:
Correcting high myopia has always been challenging in clinical practice. For patients with high myopia, the implantation of an implantable collamer lens(ICL)has become the main treatment option. Recent studies have shown that ICL implantation is effective not only for correcting moderate-to-high myopia but is also increasingly used for mild-to-moderate myopia. Furthermore, ICL implantation can address difficult refractive problems and can be combined with corneal refractive surgery to extend the range of correction. ICL implantation offers a wide range of corrections, good postoperative visual quality, high predictability, reversibility, and preservation of the natural accommodative capacity. It is gradually demonstrating its unique advantages in clinical practice. Postoperative complicated cataract is a common cause of visual impairment, and severe cases may require secondary surgery. The design, material, and vault of the ICL, along with patient-specific factors, are related to the mechanism of postoperative complicated cataracts after ICL implantation. The purpose of this article is to review the updates and iterations in ICL design, the mechanism of postoperative complicated cataracts, and their prevention.
