Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography Vault Measurement in Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

PURPOSE: To describe the use of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) vault measurement in 5 cases of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS: This case series included 5 eyes in 3 consecutive patients undergoing phakic IOL implantation. RTVue OCT (Optovue, Inc., Fremont, CA) was used to obtain intraoperative vault measurements after pupil constriction. Visante OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) was used to obtain postoperative vault measurements. RESULTS: Intraoperative vault measurements ranged from 228 to 1,060 µ m. There were no postoperative complications. Postoperative OCT vault measurements ranged from 230 to 670 µ m. CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative OCT can be ...
