Rate of Cataract Formation in 343 Highly Myopic Eyes After Implantation of Three Types of Phakic Intraocular Lenses

Abstract

Delayed cataract development and cataract type (nuclear) in patients with an Ophtec lens and the variables of patient age (>40 yr) and axial length (>30 mm) may considered prognostic factors. Other factors such as lens design, material, and placement probably influenced cataract formation in patients with the Adatomed and Staar PIOLs. The lens styles used in this study are no longer manufactured.
