Phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) are increasingly chosen for refractive correction, showing good predictability, stability, and efficacy in clinical trials. Long-term safety is still under review, but these implants offer a viable option in specific cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery

Background:

  • Phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) have been available since before 2000.
  • Experience with this technology has grown significantly since then.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the most recent data on phakic IOLs.
  • To clarify the advantages and disadvantages compared to other refractive technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent clinical trial data.
  • Analysis of Food & Drug Administration (FDA) trial outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Phakic IOLs demonstrate predictability, stability, and efficacy.
  • Relative advantages and disadvantages are becoming clearer.

Conclusions:

  • Phakic IOLs are emerging as a refractive correction of choice in certain situations.
  • Long-term safety remains an area for continued monitoring.
