Abstract

Phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) provide fast visual recovery, excellent postoperative vision, and maintenance of accommodation, and are potentially reversible procedures due to the possibility of explanting these lenses. However, disabilities resulting from pIOLs are more severe than those resulting from corneal refractive surgeries. Potential complications are glaucoma, angle-closure, cataract formation, corneal decompensation, pupil ovalization, uveitis, and endophthalmitis. Although the complication rate is low in the latest pIOLs models, surgeons implanting the pIOLs in highly myopic patients should inform their patients regarding the possibility of disabling postoperative complications.
