[The posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation for moderate to high myopia].
The posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation (PCPIOLI) was designed to implant an IOL in front of the natural crystalline lens. PCPIOLI offers several advantages, such as potential reversibility, preservation of accommodation and minimal complications. Recent studies suggested that PCPIOLI was a promising alternative procedure for the correction of severe ametropia. This paper reviewed the safety and efficacy of PCPIOLI for the treatment of moderate to high degree of myopia.
