Ultrasound biomicroscopy of the Artisan phakic intraocular lens in hyperopic eyes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: To study in situ the intraocular position of the Artisan iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) (model 203) (Ophtec) in phakic hyperopic eyes using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). METHODS: Echograms of the anterior chamber were taken preoperatively and 24 to 317 days postoperatively in 4 eyes implanted with the Artisan IOL (power +4.0 to +6.0 diopters). The preoperative anterior chamber depth (ACD) and the postoperative distance between the IOL and the corneal endothelium (endothelium-optic distance) and between the IOL and the lens were measured. The echograms were assessed for the effect of the IOL on iris tissue. RESULTS: The preoperative ACD ranged from 3.10 to 3.56 mm and the postoperative endothelium-optic distance, from 2.03 to 2.54 mm. The distance between the lens and the posterior surface of the IOL ranged from 0.35 to 0.79 mm. Several UBM echograms showed indentation of iris tissue by the IOL haptics and optic edge, although no pigmentary dispersion was noted. CONCLUSIONS: Adequate space was maintained between the Artisan hyperopic IOL and the corneal endothelium, angle, and crystalline lens. Haptic indentation of the iris, which could lead to pigment erosion, was observed. Preoperative gonioscopy and maintenance of normal intraocular pressure postoperatively suggest the indentation was secondary to inadequate lens vaulting relative to the high natural arch of the iris in hyperopic eyes. Shortening the haptics or increasing the lens vault might resolve this problem.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
