Impact of ICL Fixation Direction on Postoperative Vault and Prediction Accuracy Using the KS Formula
When ICL sizing is determined using the KS formula, horizontal fixation results in a larger postoperative vault and lower prediction accuracy compared to vertical fixation. These findings support vertical fixation as a potentially safer and more predictable approach for ICL implantation.
