Corneal edema and penetrating keratoplasty after anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation.

摘要

Phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is an increasingly popular option in surgical correction of refractive error. To date, reports of long-term morbidity are infrequent in the literature. We encountered 3 patients who experienced corneal decompensation and cataract progression following angle-fixated anterior chamber phakic IOL placement.
