Optical Quality One Month After Verisyse and Veriflex Phakic IOL Implantation and Zeiss MEL 80 LASIK for Myopia From 5.00 to 16.50 Diopters
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 08/19/09

Vilaseca M et al. – Verisyse and Veriflex phakic IOL implantation and LASIK are both safe and effective in correcting moderate to high myopia, but they involve different processes of optical quality recovery. One day after surgery, the Verisyse IOL implantation significantly reduced the eye’s optical quality, mainly due to the larger incision required and the higher number of sutures used. This reduction was not as remarkable with the other two techniques. However, 1 month after surgery, patients with IOL implants recovered more optical quality than LASIK patients.
