Computational simulation of aqueous humour dynamics in the presence of a posterior-chamber versus iris-fixed phakic intraocular lens.

PURPOSE:To compare aqueous humour (AH) dynamics in the presence of a precrystalline (Implantable Collamer Lens®; ICL) or iris-fixed (Artiflex®) phakic intraocular lens (PIOL). METHODS:By computational fluid dynamics simulation, AH flow was modelled through a peripheral iridotomy (PI) or central lens...
