title: [Biometry of the anterior chamber diameter].
abstract: Interest in the use of phakic intraocular lens for the treatment of high myopia and hyperopia is increasing. Several approaches have been advocated including angle-supported phakic intraocular lens. The implantation of anterior chamber intraocular lens is the good remedy for the cases in whom posterior chamber intraocular lens can not be implanted. However, the implantation of the anterior chamber intraocular lens has been associated with several potential complications, many of which arise from poor sizing. To reduce the incidence of these complications, accurate anterior chamber biometry is necessary; therefore we summarized the research advances of improvement of the biometry of anterior chamber diameter.
