I read with interest the article by Bhandari et al. regarding the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) V4b and V4c for the correction of high myopia. However, I am concerned that there may be errors in reporting. Specifically, the authors state that “Anterior subcapsular opacities were present in 6.9% and 3.14% of eyes with V4b and V4c groups, respectively (P < 0.01).” However, given that the authors state that there are 10 eyes of 5 patients with V4c implanted, I wonder how it is possible to have 3.14% with anterior subcapsular opacities. In addition, the authors report “Four eyes from V4b (9.75%) and 1 eye from V4c (16.66%) groups had rotation of more than 30° and required re-alignment surgery which was done successfully (Fig. 4).” The authors should clarify that these percentages are calculated using only the number of Toric ICLs implanted as the denominator, and not the total number of ICLs implanted. I would appreciate it if the authors would explain and correct these apparent inconsistencies.
