PURPOSE: To investigate the ciliary body anatomy and position of the implantable collamer lens (ICL) in low-vault eyes and analyze factors related to insufficient vault. SETTING: Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Guangzhou, China. DESIGN: Retrospective case-control observational study. METHODS: In this study, 73 eyes of 73 patients with an insufficient vault (<250 μm) were matched with 73 eyes with an ideal vault (250 to 750 μm). Ultrasound biomicroscopy was used to determine the ciliary body morphology and ICL position. The biometric parameters acquired by Scheimpflug tomography were compared. The correlation between the vault and these factors was analyzed, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method was used to screen the risk factors for low vault. RESULTS: The low-vault group had a steeper corneal curvature, thicker lens thickness (LT), higher crystalline lens rise, and shorter axial length (AL) (all P < .005). The ciliary process length (CPL) and maximum ciliary body thickness (CBTmax) were significantly smaller, and the trabecular-ciliary angle (TCA), iris-ciliary angle (ICA), and ciliary sulcus width (CSW) were significantly greater in the low-vault eyes (all P < .005). The low-vault group had more ICL haptics below the ciliary process, and TCA, ICA, CPL, CBTmax, CSW, and haptic position were related to the postoperative vault (all P < .05). CPL, AL, and LT were identified as predictors of a low vault. CONCLUSIONS: Malposition of ICL haptics behind the c...
