Clinical Applications of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Managing Phakic and Secondary Intraocular Lens Implants: A Comprehensive Review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) has emerged as a crucial imaging technique in ophthalmology, particularly for evaluating intraocular structures and the behavior of phakic and secondary intraocular lenses (IOLs). This narrative review summarizes the latest findings and clinical applications of OCT regarding phakic and secondary IOLs, focusing on their effectiveness, safety, and factors influencing performance. Through a comprehensive analysis of current literature, we explore how OCT facilitates the assessment of IOLs on key anatomical parameters-such as vault, angle configuration, lens centration, tilt, and haptic positioning-essential for optimizing surgical outcomes and minimizing postoperative complications. In phakic IOLs, including posterior chamber lenses such as the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL, STAAR Surgical, Monrovia, CA, USA) and iris-fixated lenses, such as Artiflex (Ophtec BV, Groningen, The Netherlands), OCT enables precise evaluation of the anterior segment, aiding both candidate selection and long-term monitoring. In secondary implants for aphakia-especially iris-fixated lenses like Artisan (Ophtec BV, Groningen, The Netherlands) and sutureless scleral-fixated lenses such as the Carlevale IOL (Soleko, Rome, Italy)-or those implanted via the Yamane technique, OCT provides high-resolution visualization of haptic fixation, IOL stability, and potential complications, including tilt or decentration. This review also highlights comparative insights between fixation techniques, underscores the need for standardized OCT protocols, and discusses the integration of artificial intelligence tools. In summary, the routine use of OCT in the preoperative and postoperative management of phakic and secondary IOLs has been increasingly incorporated into clinical practice, as it enhances clinical decision-making and improves patient outcomes.
