Foldable phakic angle-supported anterior chamber lenses

Refractive intraocular lenses have been established for the correction of larger amounts of ametropia. Phakic foldable IOLs may be constructed as angle-supported anterior chamber lenses. There are several foldable angle-supported anterior chamber IOLs available: Vivarte (IOLtech, France), Kelman Duet (Tekia, USA), I-Care (Corneal, France), AcrySof (Alcon, USA). These lenses have the considerable advantage of minimizing the incision size. They show high stability, efficacy and predictability regrading the correction of refractive errors and the gain, respectively loss, of lines. Main complications of angle-suppor…
