[Pay attention to several problems in phakic intraocular lens implantation for correction of high myopia]

The phakic intraocular lens implantation (PIOL) is a promising surgical method for the correction of myopia. It offers better visual quality as well as more stable and predictable refraction after the surgery. It must be recognized that the design of such intraocular lens has not been perfect, and the implanted PIOL would affect the structures surrounding it. The surgeon should pay close attention to the indications of different PIOLs and the specification of the operation. It is necessary to have a long-term postoperative follow-up for the reduction of the incidence of various complications.
