Implantation
of the Artisan Intra-Ocular Lens (Ophtec)
for treatment of myopia produces high levels

overall satisfaction despite problems with
glare and night vision in some patients, suggests
a recent study of the iris-claw phakic ICL.
The trial, represented
by Rudy MMA Nuijts MD PhD at the XXI Congress

who underwent
bilateral implantation of

Artisan
IOL (5.0mm and 6.0mm optic models) and four

years) and were followed for three to 51 months
(mean 20 months) after implantation.
