Refractive lens exchange and piggyback intraocular lens implantation in nanophthalmos: Visual and structural outcomes

Abstract

Piggyback IOL implantation was an effective refractive procedure in nanophthalmic eyes. Both implantation methods resulted in similar outcomes; however, the small number of patients in each group made it less likely that possible differences would be found. The increase in angle values might help prevent the development of closed-angle glaucoma.
