Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate the occurrence and risk factors of clinically significant intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt in highly myopic eyes using swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-AS-OCT). DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: This study included 334 participants (334 eyes) with high myopia, defined as axial length (AL) ≥26 mm, who underwent phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. Decentration and tilt of IOL were assessed by SS-AS-OCT. Clinically significant IOL decentration and tilt was defined as decentration ≥0.4 mm and tilt ≥7°. Routine preoperative and postoperative examinations included visual acuity, refraction, biometric measurement using IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec), and objective visual quality evaluated by OPD-Scan III (Nidek Technologies). RESULTS: Among the 334 highly myopic participants, 71 (21.3%) had clinically significant IOL decentration, and 26 (7.78%) had clinically significant IOL tilt. The proportion of clinically significant IOL decentration (37.1% vs 14.0%, P < .001) and tilt (16.2% vs 3.90%, P < .001) in those with AL ≥30 mm was significantly higher than in those with AL <30 mm. The multivariable logistic regression model showed only AL ≥30 mm was associated with clinically significant IOL decentration (odds ratio, 1.65; P = .002). AL ≥30 mm (odds ratio, 2.09; P = .001) was an independent risk factor for clinically significant IOL tilt after adjusting for confounders. AL ≥30.3 mm could effectively predict IOL decentration ≥0.6 mm (area under the curve, 0.802). CONCLUSIONS: Participants with AL >30 mm have a higher risk of clinically significant IOL decentration and tilt, thus caution should be taken to implant multifocal or toric IOL for these patients.
