IOL-VIP Surgery
Phakic/Pseudophakic eyes• Corneal tunnel (superior/temporal depending on IOL orientation•Large (6-7 mm) CCC•Phacoemulsification if phakic•Enlarge corneal incision to 7 mm•PC IOL: bag if phakic, sulcus if pseudophakic•PI+miochol•A/C IOL•Corneal sutures

IOL-VIPVisual Outcome
Orzalesi et al 2007
IOL-VIPPostoperative findings
•Low surgical complication rate•Endothelial cell loss 7%•PCO 18%•High hyperopia in emmetropes; better if myopic•Recent availability of “bespoke” implants
IOL-VIPConclusions
Advantages• Improves reading/distance vision in suitable cases (6/18-6/60 pre op; small-moderate central scotoma)•Patients comment favourably on scotoma shifting away from centre
Disadvantages•Careful selection required: pathology; psychology; costs•Lengthy (6 week) postoperative rehabilitation training•Suture removal•Refractive error : hyperopia and astigmatism (reduced with new implants
