研究目的
To report a case of a highly myopic pseudophakic patient who received off-label placement of a phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) via a “piggyback” technique, allowing the placement of an intraocular lens (IOL) in his fellow eye, resulting in improved visual acuity and emmetropia.
研究成果
The case demonstrates the successful off-label use of a phakic IOL in a pseudophakic, highly myopic patient with a piggyback technique, resulting in improved visual acuity and allowing IOL placement in the fellow eye for emmetropia. This technique offers an alternative option for pseudophakic patients with severe refractive error.
研究不足
The study is limited to a single case report, which may not be generalizable to all patients with similar conditions. Further investigation is warranted to evaluate the utility of this off-label technique.
