title: [Intraocular lens for the correction of myopia of the phakic eye].
abstract: A biconcave intraocular lens for the correction of myopia is described and preliminary results are presented. An iris claw-type lens is used as a carrier for the biconcave lens. This lens is fixed in front of the natural lens in the mid-periphery of the iris. It maintains a sufficient distance from both the natural lens and the corneal endothelium. The surgical technique is described in detail and the indications and contraindications are discussed. The authors' results so far are encouraging.
