[Macular translocation in myopic patient wearing a phakic intraocular lens].
Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología 2002 Februrary
UNLABELLED: PURPOSE/MATERIAL AND METHOD: To report a case of macular translocation surgery in a myopic patient with a phakic intraocular lens, which developed subfoveal choroidal neovascularization.
RESULTS: A 45 year-old woman wearing a phakic intraocular lens to correct a high myopia presented a 0.3 visual acuity because of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. Peripheral retina had been treated by argon laser for lattice degeneration. Limited macular translocation was performed. Chorioscleral infolding was created by a circular scleral buckle. Her visual acuity, six months after surgery became 0.7.
CONCLUSION: This report shows the feasibility of the use of limited macular translocation for the management of high myopic eyes with phakic intraocular lenses, in patients who suffer from subfoveal choroidal neovascularization.
