title: Fluorophotometry in phakic eyes with anterior chamber intraocular lens implantation to correct myopia.
abstract: In this longitudinal study, we implanted 16 angle-fixated anterior chamber intra-ocular lenses in phakic eyes of 13 patients to correct high myopia. Using fluorophotometry, we discovered a statistically significant decrease (P < .01) in lens transmittance. Blood-aqueous barrier permeability tended to remain increased six months after surgery.
