Management of a case of myopic foveoschisis with phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) in situ: intraoperative challenges.

We describe the case of a 30-year-old man with pathological myopia with a phakic intraocular lens (IOL) (Visian ICL V4c model; STAAR, Monrovia, California, USA) in situ having complaints of metamorphopsia in the left eye with documented myopic foveoschisis on swept-source optical coherence tomography (DRI OCT Triton; Topcon, Tokyo, Japan). The patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling. This report discusses the intraoperative challenges occurring as a result of increased optical aberrations in the presence of a phakic IOL. © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2017.
