Abstract
Anisometropic Amblyopia is one of the frequent causes of lifelong unilateral visual impairment in children. It is well known that Anisometropic Hyperopia is the most common type of Amblypia followed by aniso- astigmatism followed by anisometropic Myopia. Since 1992 LVC (laser Vision Correction) was done to anisometropic Myopic children with long term follow up of Regression, decentration and Ectasia proving it was not the optimum treatment for this situation. Phakic IOLs were studied since 2002 with fair results at that time. The aim of this prospective, non-randomized, non-comparative interventional study is to assess the two years follow up of Insertion of Collamar Co-Polymer intraocular lenses (ICL) in Anisometropic Myopic Children. Twelve eyes of 12 children with myopic anisometropia more than five diopters in children aged 4-14 years, with myopic anisometropia, had ICL implantation in the posterior chamber after full preoperative assessment, Visual acuity, anterior segment OCT, endothelial cell count and posterior segment evaluation were done. Improvement of visual acuity with more than three Snellen’s lines, Occlusion therapy was done to all cases after surgery.
