Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Refractive Surgery
Intraocular Lenses

Background:

Phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) are effective for high refractive error correction.
Common pIOL types include angle-supported, iris-fixated, and posterior chamber lenses.
Cataract development often necessitates pIOL explantation.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the visual and refractive outcomes of bilensectomy.
To identify complications associated with pIOL explantation during cataract surgery.

Main Methods:

Literature review of studies reporting on bilensectomy.
Analysis of visual acuity and refractive error changes post-procedure.
Assessment of complication rates for different pIOL types.

Main Results:

Bilensectomy generally yields favorable visual outcomes.
Specific complication rates vary depending on pIOL type and surgical technique.
Refractive outcomes are typically stable after explantation and IOL implantation.

Conclusions:

Bilensectomy is a viable procedure for managing cataracts in patients with pIOLs.
Understanding potential complications is crucial for patient counseling and surgical planning.
Further research may optimize surgical techniques for improved outcomes.
