Abstract
Background and objectives: High myopia is one of the causes of decreased vision in young people that generally corneal refractive surgeries (LASIK or PRK) can not succesfully resolve their problems. In this research efficacy of intraocular phakic lens implantation were evaluated in this group of patients.
Materials and methods: In these research results of phakic lens implantation in 28 eyes of 14 patients with high myopia evaluated. Main outcome measures were refraction, BCVA, UCVA, IOP and pachymetry; which were evaluated at first day, one and six month after operation.
Results: Meaningful increase in visual acuity of this patients with and without spectacle correction was seen (P<0.005). No vision threatening complications were seen in these patients. Preoperative and postoperative pachymetries don't show significan changes.
Conclusion: That phakic intraocular lens implantation is a suitable procedure in patients whom are not good candidate for keratorefractive surgeries.
