From ciliary sulcus asymmetry to vault prediction: an hSTS-based approach to individualized sizing of implantable collamer lenses in myopic eyes
The higher myopic refractive error is associated with a more pronounced vertically elliptical ciliary sulcus. Routine measurement of both vertical and horizontal STS, combined with a vault prediction model based on hSTS and ICL size, may facilitate individualized ICL sizing, improve vault predictability, and enhance surgical safety.
