Phakic intraocular lenses to correct high myopia

Abstract

There was a higher incidence of anterior subcapsular cataract formation in the Adatomed group than in the Staar group. Delayed cataract development and the cataract type in patients with Artisan IOLs indicate that age and axial length may be prognostic factors. Factors such as IOL design, material, and placement probably affect cataract formation in eyes with posterior chamber IOLs for high myopia, particularly the Adatomed IOL.
