Visual acuity, tilt and decentration of the IOL, as well as complications, were evaluated alongside imaging of the scleral pockets during multiple time points using the anterior optical coherence tomography (AS\u2010OCT) system Tomey CASIA 2 in the bleb mode. The OCT scan pattern, oriented parallel to the T\u2010shaped haptic of the IOL, facilitated manual analysis of images to measure scleral pocket thickness on both the temporal and nasal haptics. To compensate for distortions and non\u2010perpendicular image acquisition, distal T\u2010haptic thickness was also measured to calculate the relative scleral pocket thickness. For statistical evaluation, a linear mixed model was used, where we corrected for multiple measurements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean follow\u2010up period was 28\u2009\u00b1\u200911\u2009months. Measured scleral thickness above the T\u2010haptic exhibited a significant decrease on both temporal and nasal sides, translating to an estimated annual decrease of approximately 0.03\u2009mm (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Postoperatively, best\u2010corrected visual acuity (BCVA) significantly improved from 0.77\u2009\u00b1\u20090.74 logMAR preoperatively to 0.41\u2009\u00b1\u20090.60 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
