Detailed Description
The study object is moderate and high myopia patients, underwent ICL implantation. OCTA was used to image the superficial and deep retinal vascular plexuses before ICL implantation surgery and at 3 months follow-up. OCTA images were corrected for magnification, skeletonized, separated the large vessels and partitioned. Retinal microvascular density was measured by using fractal dimension analysis. The aim of this study was to uncover potential retinal vascular network alterations induced by ICL implantation surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Retinal microvessels density [3 months postoperatively]
Retinal microvessels density was measured with fractal dimension analysis by using Matalb (The Mathworks, Inc., Natick, MA, USA)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Best corrected visual acuity [3 months postoperatively]
BCVA was evaluated by decimal Snellen and converted to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) for statistical analysis.
- Mean refractive spherical equivalent [3 months postoperatively]
MRSE = Spherical power + 0.5 * Cylindrical power
- Intraocular pressure [3 months postoperatively]
The IOP was measured using a non-contact tonometer (CT-80; Topcon, Tokyo, Japan).
- Vault [3 months postoperatively]
The central vault of the ICL (distance from posterior surface of ICL to the crystalline lens) was measured using Optical Coherence Tomography (Visante; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany)
