  1. YAG PI before implantable contact lens (ICL) implantation group: Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser peripheral iridectomy (YAG PI) was performed 2 weeks prior to the ICL implantation. PI before ICL implantation group: PI was performed 2 weeks prior to the ICL implantation. PI during ICL implantation group: PI was performed during ICL implantation
