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

Seema R Patel et al. J Cataract Refract Surg. 2005 Nov.

Abstract

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.
