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

We report 2 cases in which an Artisan phakic intraocular lens (IOL) (Ophtec) was used to successfully treat high myopia after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). The first case was a 43-year-old man who had a manifest refraction of -13.75 +3.00 x 50 with a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/40(-2) after PKP in the left eye. Approximately 9 months after implantation of the Artisan IOL, the ma...
